First-Time Around the World- full review

First-Time Around the World- full review
I have just finished reading the Rough Guide on RTW trip and I think this is a very interesting book for all who wishes start their journey. First, the cross-section structure is very handy. The author has a great sense of practical issues, good advices and precise comments. It would be almost impossible to buy, read and carry single-country guidebooks when travelling the world. Even if you bought it and kept it at home and studied ... Read more

London Jewel: TATE Gallery

London Jewel: TATE Gallery
I was lucky. I visited London many times but the trip made three years ago was the best I have ever had. I went to the TATE Gallery with my cousin (cheers buddy!)  to see an interesting exhibition of the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The exhibition was titled “Sunflower Seeds” and was placed in a Tate Modern Turbine Hall. If you missed information about it here is what was it about: the hall was filled with natural size ...

Irish Honesty

Irish Honesty
Just yesterday a postman ringed the bell and brought me a large yellow envelope from Ireland. There was a map inside and two lovely sea shells. And it’s all because people in Ireland are honest. A month ago I went to the Aran Islands and saw this beautiful detailed map of all three islands with a short guidebook. It was like a perfect gift for my Dad as he loves maps of all kinds. Naturally I wished to buy it but ... Read more

I am currently working on a new graphic and hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy the new design pretty soon. Last six month were extraordinary. I enjoyed every day spent on this blog. And on travels, of course. One of the most important experience I gained is related to my recent trip to Ireland. I ... Read more

Galway and Aran Islands. My recommendations.

Galway and Aran Islands. My recommendations.
Ireland in general and Aran Islands in particular are perfect destinations to all active people. This country has so much to offer! Each traveler should discover it for himself but let me give you three places I’ve been to and was happy about it. Galway: the Cellar Bar I’m pretty sure that Galway has many excellent bars and restaurants. So why this place? Mostly because the Cellar Bar was chosen by my friends who are ... Read more

Good times, bad times. The Islanders.

Good times, bad times. The Islanders.
“The island is owned by those who were determined enough to transform a pure grey rock into rich green garden- a paradise of botanists and ornithologists. When you watch the island from the western cliffs you see a chess board made of stone walls, which- when arranged in a line would be twelve thousands kilometers long- keeps this island like a fishing net and proofs that the Irish tales about being lazy is a pack of ...

5 Good Reasons Why Coming To The Aran Islands

5 Good Reasons Why Coming To The Aran Islands
My primary motivation of a travel to the Aran Islands was related to the famous book of Nicolas Bouvier Journal d’Aran et d’autres lieux. This exquisite piece of literature made me think about this place and finally find a way to go there. I spent almost a week on the biggest of all islands- Inishmore- and I think I understood why Bouvier came back full of delight. There is something special about this place that ... Read more

Perspective The most striking in this book is a general perspective on travelling. What ... Read more
