It is a perfect time for hiking, visiting the national parks or other outdoor activities. As I saw so many nice untouched nature of the Balkans I looked forward to that trip.Region around ZagvozdThe first stop after flying…

Poland: Hikes in the Karkonosze National Park

Some destinations are not real bucket list dream destinations - at least what my list is concerned -, until you been there and find all the beauty in it. Visiting the Karkonosze National Park in Poland, was exactly like that.

Czech: A unexpected road trip

Kalište - stay in a tradition summer home We started our Czech road trip to a traditional Czech summer house in the area of Kalište. Simple living in the woods to relax and watching deer, that came real close to the house. Showering outside, with a nice outdoor shower.

Azores: Days on São Miguel Island

The island of flowers To visit the Azores Island, has been on my bucket list forever.

Hike among the east coast Traveling to Madeira was always special, as the landing on the island is already a highlight. With the airport right next to the ocean, the landing curve is going over the cliffs of the east cape. This is every time around an experience.
