I didn’t grow up hearing much about travel, but life has its unexpected ways to reveal what’s out there if only you know were to look. Very early in my childhood, I made the most significant discovery in life by walking into my local library. Most of the books I read back then shaped my […]

Two weeks we spent in Latvia […]

I love autumn. I love autumn and wait for it because it’s always amazing to see our favourite places shoving off different seasons coat.

This year has taken us to places we never thought we would go, and one of those is Slovenia, a country located in Central Europe, we both knew shamefully very little about. After a week of exploring it – where I hiked and biked my way through its beautiful valleys and gorges – Slovenia ended […]

After a stormy summers day when the clouds hung heavy in the sky, and fat raindrops began to fall, the sun was finally glistening, and the horizon could be seen again, offering outstanding views over a Clew Bay – far surpassing anything a tour bus-bound visitor would ever see. County Mayo holds a special place […]

I have spent half of my life with a book in my hand. In my childhood, I passionately followed colourful characters like Huckleberry Finn, Phillies Fog and couldn’t get enough of Moomin Family adventures. I loved and still very much like to re-read everything from J.F.Cooper and Mark Twain to Jack London and Ridjar Kipling. […]

From the moment we landed in Portugal to the moment that we left, every fibre of my thirsty soul was filled with this infinite energy that would make my head spin.

Valters and I are great travel buddies because, in many ways, we are so alike. We are both drawn to natural beauty and places where lack of modern technology forces you to go outside and just be, we both can lay ourselves bare without much thought, and we both require a certain amount of spontaneous […]
