Imagine a place without cars and traffic noise, where one can take a deep breath of fresh sea air and hear the sound of gently lapping waves, an archipelago of small islands with traditional fishermen’s villages and wooden cottages on the rocks. A place where the craggy shores meet leafy nature and sometimes the only mean of transport are wheelbarrows. Södra…

I have always wanted to visit Budapest. Somehow I had got a feeling that I will fall in love with this place.

There was a time in my one year stay in Vienna when I realized that I feel tired of visiting popular tourist attractions and must-see places. I wanted something more authentic, local, off the beaten track… and then I discovered Spittelberg, charming little quarter hidden behind the area of Mariahilfer Straße and Museumsquartier.

There are some moments in my life and places I have been to that I will never forget just like a day spent in Sumartin, a small and quite unerrated port village located on the Croatian island of Brač. Thinking about Brač most of the tourists choose Bol and its famous Zlatni Rat beach as their trip destination and when the ferry from Makarska…
