And is … Continue reading 🗼 to Paris, to Paris 🗼
In 2025 From the recent Cyprus travels, I got mesmerised and attracted back to the ancient glory times of Greece. In cold winter times, I usually make one hop back to the Mediterranean. This time, I revisited Athens. My landing was quite late on a Friday evening. What was supposed to be a quick drive to the hotel, turned out an escape from the traffic-blocked … Continue reading Athens, Greece
In 2025 This was a completely different visit, unlike the winter edition of 2018 – that you can see scrolling below. This was rather summer vacation with a bit of culture and history. I will start chronologically. 🙂 Landing was a bit late, so our morning start was a bit late as well. We were in Protaras – the eastern side of Cyprus. I was … Continue reading Cyprus ⛵
In 2025 I will start with the refreshments. 🙂 It was a cold October morning and I have been driving for 2 hours to have my weekend trip. We parked right below the main square. Lille is one of those cities where you can still arrive to city center by car – although partially and then it brings you to the underground garage. If you … Continue reading Lille, France
Sometimes ago I had the chance to visit Kosovo and lake Ohrid. The idea to visit Albania – the neighborhood country was born. I landed to Tirana International Airport and took the taxi. The driver was super kind. He didn’t speak any of my languages but somehow I understood that he needs 5 minutes to pay for the parking. There was no kidnapping happening, only … Continue reading Albania 👐

I needed the sun, the heat, the food and some days to shake my head what was all that about! 🙂 Luckily, the environment was totally different and easy going so I had enough time to collect my … Continue reading Mallorca
Technically, or administratively, the city belongs to the state of Bavaria but truly there is nothing about Lederhosen, Weißwurst, Bier and Biergartens. Würzburg, the wine capital of Franconia in the northwestern tip of Bavaria, will show you that there’s more to life than beer and sausage. The dialect is different, the choice of sausage is Bratwurst and here you’ll find endless rows of vineyards and … Continue reading Exploring the Franconian wine capital of Bavaria: Würzburg, Germany
My little jubilee, the 50th country visited was Liechtenstein. And boy what a ceremony happened. The Principality of Liechtenstein and the Swiss Confederation were celebrating the 100 years of their common Dounae contract. We were about to cross the bridge that was built over the river Rhine, but we were stopped as the celebration was just about to start. We joined the march of the locals … Continue reading Jubilee in Liechtenstein
Krapina is my hometown. Zagorje runs through veins. Kajkavian dialect is spoken out loud by my core. So please, allow me to show you a portion of heaven given to us people from Zagorje to enjoy, nourish, and remain proud. Krapina Krapina was first mentioned in 1193. It has always been a favorite site for castles and country houses of Croatian and Hungarian rulers. In … Continue reading Krapina and Zagorje – a fairytale at hand 🧚
Avignon is a city on the Rhône river in the south of France. It is surrounded by walls of Avignon (French: Les Remparts d’Avignon) – a series of defensive stone walls that were originally built in the 14th century during the Avignon papacy and have been continually rebuilt and repaired throughout their subsequent history. We entered through Porte Saint-Michel. The 14 century entrance to the city. At the first glance, … Continue reading A-a-avignon, France
