Oh London my London
Whoever has travelled in the British capital or anywhere in Great Britain then is well aware of the gloomy whether and constant grey sky over the country. However, if you ever actually lived in this country then you know the best way to start a conversation is to complain of how miserable the weather is.…

Perfect match
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life and until today no matter what I do, I love having music on the background. I think it always helps me keep my mind occupied and at the same time to concentrate. Of course it’s not only about the music, it’s…

Roller Coaster
Sometimes, I find myself looking back on the last few years and I realise how life is in fact a roller coaster ride that has more inversions than you can count. Often, I would hear the phrase “life is like a roller coaster” but only felt how truthful that is when I found myself stranded…

Of Flights and Love
I guess I am a little bit late (like always) but Happy Valentine’s day! So, we just had Valentine’s day last Friday, and frankly, this whole weekend, if not week, should be all about love. You all know by now that this is a travel blog filled with stories from my travelling mishaps and adventures,…

The power of words
When you’re travelling, you often encounter strangers that, with their stories, give you power. But only recently did I feel the real power of communication and speech. In the summer of 2019, I had the chance to participate in a volunteering project as a leader. Being responsible for a team that consisted of people from…

Christmas Dinner
Have you ever been invited to a Christmas dinner and thought, “Why am I here?”. Well, I have. While I was in the United Kingdom, my friend had somehow become good friends with an elderly lady who sat next to her on the train. She was a free-spirited lady with an outgoing personality and open-minded.…

Cheers
No matter where you’re from and whatever background you might have, a family is probably the best gift you’ll ever get. Growing in a big family, I always assumed that all families are big, supportive, and happy. On my various journeys across the world, I got to meet many families. Some were similar to my…

Christmas in Brno
Living abroad gives you the opportunity to explore and discover new places that soon can become your home. Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and I’ve been residing in this beautiful city for the last three years. As I always loved Christmas, my favourite time in this city is none other…

Dreaming Again
While on the road, I often encountered people who, in one way or another, were working hard towards their dreams. Though one would wonder, what dreams really are. Dreams can have several definitions and synonyms. People no matter where they are from, what their occupation is or what their status is, they always dream of…

Being Anonymous
When traveling, you often get to see sights of considerable significance to the country. You get to learn about remarkable people that, in their own way, brought glory to their country. But I have to say, being anonymous sometimes feels more glorious than being someone. As a traveller, I often seize the joy and beauty…

Into the Unknown
Travelers often encounter unexpected situations. The most thrilling moments, though, are when travellers get to explore unknown lands. In our modernized world, the term of an explorer is often misguided. After all, nowadays, before you travel to an “unknown” land, you already have all the information needed for exploring and discovering. Nonetheless, often, guidebooks do…

The struggles of an introvert
In general, there are two types of people, attention seekers, and attention avoiders. I’ve always been part of the latter. I was always content being in the background and having a supporting role. As an introvert, I love having a simple life, and I don’t need much to be satisfied. Although even if I do…

Dream. Explore. Discover.
People often move abroad for educational, economic, or political reasons. Indeed, living abroad gives great opportunities both in daily and professional life. But today, I would like to explore the opportunities we gain from living abroad regarding discovering and learning. Currently, I live in the Czech Republic, and I have to say that it is…

Happiness is the key
A smile can be a powerful tool. Although it’s an asset for happiness, it can also bring forward sadness, anger, or embarrassment. Globalization indeed created a world that often has no borders. Friendships and relationships now can easily be found everywhere because of mutual understanding. But often, there are moments of misunderstandings or awkwardness because…

Expect the unexpected
When travelling, we often face surprising situations. During my time in China, unexpectedly, my friend was required to go back to her work. She was needed as a translator for a guest from a Belgian company. And somehow, I ended up pretending to be a businesswoman. For three days, I was following my friend and…

Snowfall
Travelling is all about experiencing new things. Cultures, customs, traditions, food, and lifestyle. In my case, during my first visit to Budapest, I got to experience winter. Like everyone else, I associate snow with Christmas, Santa Claus, reindeers, decorative lights, and fresh-baked cookies. But during my time in Budapest in mid-January 2017, I got to…
