2009. 2010
To me it feels like 2010 came and went so fast. I still find it hard to believe that I’m more than 8 months on the roads, travelling to places I only dreamed a year ago. Some of you know that around a year ago both my parents had a terrible car accident which left my mom in hospital for long time without the ability to move her neck. At that point of time, I haven’t seen them close to 3 long years. Every time I planned a trip another project popped up at work. Although I was very happy and grateful for the opportunity given to me as a manager (especially during a global...

I first heard of couch surfing on my way to U2 concert in Croatia during a random catch-up with a local girl who had a perfect American accent. I was curious how she acquired her accent so I asked her about it. “Have you heard about couch surfing?” She asked. “Couch What?!” I replied. “Oh man, You must check it out. It’s great.

My new Bluish BMW and I got to introduced to each other formally in Zurich and we clicked almost immediately. The weather, on the other hand, didn’t want to align and I had two days of nonstop...

Croatia – Paradise “Why Croatia?” I was asked few days before I took a ferry and crossed the Adriatic Sea from Italy. I didn’t know much about Croatia but the many stories I have heard about the beautiful Croatian islands with their crystal clear water were good enough reasons. There are over 1000 islands in Croatia, all with beautiful beaches and virgin nature so it was a bit hard to choose which ones to visit. After few days in the city of Split, a perfect gateway for island exploration, I decided to spend most of my time in one island only. Hvar Island is one of...
Read MoreItalian Adventure
When I first thought of a summer trip in Europe I wondered which city would be my starting point. I’m not much of a planner and mainly rely on intuition when deciding on travelling destinations so when Rome first popped in my mind, I didn’t have to think again and 10 minutes later I had a one way ticket to the legendary Italian capital. Rome I met Kate, a friend from Ireland, at Fiumicino Airport and together we decided not to have plan and simply lose ourselves in the many narrow streets of Rome without a map, guide or any specific direction. Rome was love at first sight....
