My boyfriend, Alvaro, and I moved to Dublin last summer because he got a job there. I didn’t particularly want to go because I’m a big fan of his Spanish hometown, Valencia, and was reluctant to leave it. Also, Dublin isn’t well connected with my own hometown, which is in Slovenia. But love often requires adapting, so I moved with him. Dublin wasn’t my best … Continúa leyendo The Pros and Cons of Living in Dublin
I guess this post about Berlin will be the last one about travel for a while because I’m running out of things to write about since I can’t do any travelling right now. I’ve been to quite a few places that I haven’t written about, but it was all many years ago, and it would be a bit useless to write about that. This blog … Continúa leyendo What Berlin’s All About
After a lonely week in Saint Petersburg, I was happy to travel to Helsinki. There were several reasons for it: I would see one of my best friends, Tiia, I had never been to Finland before and I’d be back in Europe. I had an amazing time in Russia (especially in Moscow), but I was still looking forward to wandering around European cities again. I … Continúa leyendo Happier Times in Lahti and Helsinki
The backstory Back in February, when travel was still a normal thing to do in Europe and Russia, I visited Saint Petersburg or Piter as Russians usually refer to it. I went there straight from Moscow, and that, I believe, changed how I saw Saint Petersburg in many ways. I spent quite some time in Moscow: six weeks in total. This allowed me to get … Continúa leyendo Solo Travel in Saint Petersburg

I graduated in December and started my adventure in January. Workaway Workaway seemed like the right choice because it wasn’t too long and it granted me free accommodation and possibly … Continúa leyendo Moscow, Piter, Helsinki: Workaway and Solo Travel
My mum and l like going on holiday together; we try to do it once per year. It all started when I was eleven and we went to Lefkada and fell in love with Greece. We’ve visited many other islands since but never really spent much time in continental Greece, never saw the capital. So, this is exactly what we decided to do this year: … Continúa leyendo Athens and Around
Some say it’s ugly, and some say it’s beautiful. I guess that the first group is referring to the surroundings, especially to the part that you see from the road when driving from Slovenia to Trieste. You see factories, lots of old blocks of flats and Cattinara, a hospital that looks kinda creepy. The second group is probably thinking of the centre. They’re referring to … Continúa leyendo A Little Guide to Trieste, Italy
Mini trips are great: they’re an escape from everyday life but at the same time they don’t take that much time or money. You don’t have to leave your routine for a long time, but when you return, you’re somehow refreshed and happier. This blog post is a little recap of a trip to Torino my friend and I took last winter. We visited a … Continúa leyendo 3 Days in Torino
