Spain : beaches, paella, sun, flamenco… etc etc etc When we decided to head to Spain, we went to Asturias region in northern Spain. Neighbor to basque country, Cantabria or Galicia, this region is exactly at the opposite of typical Spanish clichés. So we almost succeeded in what we were looking for. Being off beaten path! …

Simply Love… What do we prefer while traveling ? Most probably the unexpected, the surprise and even more the unpredictable. When we stepped into the transsiberian in this winter night on January, we were far away of thinking about a break in Europe during the summer… At that moment, our dreams were slowly going to Central …
When we decided to go from Russia to China, we started to have a look on travel forums to get information about the border… To be honest, whatever the language (English, Polish and French) we did not get too much information… It was really poor and very difficult to figure out how is to cross …
Long time ago…Long time ago, in a small village in central Poland, after Sunday lunch with my grannies I laid down on the sofa and I switched on TV.

Our adventure in Russia started with St Petersburg, probably the most european city in all Russia… Indeed, St Petersbourg has been founded in the 18th century by Peter The Great. The town planning is definitively modern and it is quite common to believe that you are walking in a different European city like Paris or Amsterdam.But …
IRELAND = PEOPLE There is no better way to discover a country, place or culture as by the people. During two years I was studding in Galway-Mayo Institut of Technology and I was living in Galway. It was Ruan who showed me the true heart of his motherland (Thank you very much for this Ruan), …
When David arrived in Warsaw, he rapidly asked for East… As if crossing Europe from West to East was not enough, he was wandering about Belarus, Ukraine and Romania, etc. He was curious about these countries that are un(mis)known in Western countries.

Fall in love with the roads… If you agree with the theory, that the road itself is the goal, you should go to Iceland. You will fall in love with the roads over there. Black asphalt and yellow pillars became a symbol of this island. Sometimes instead of asphalt you will have just ‘svartir …
Tatras mountains. This mountain chain is the natural boarder betwwen Poland and Slovakia. Polish people are very proud of their moutains. Even if the biggest part of the chain is located on the Slovakian side, the polish part is full of treasures.
Georgia – Mestia – Mazeri Rain. Rain can be unpredictable, sudden or lazy, refreshing or just simply constant. The rain in Mestia was cold and very wet. It played with us in order to show us finally what is great about it – the view of the valley with wandering clouds…’Marszrutka’ We landed in Kutaisi …
After almost 2 years living in Warsaw, it not was so easy to find a subject to talk about this particular city to me. The new year 2017 coming soon, our departure getting closer and closer, and coffee after coffee, I have decided that it was worth to talk about the places where all this …
