  • Sarajevo – the city where worlds collide

    Sarajevo – the city where worlds collide

    “Sarajevo is the center of civilization – it is the line where the East meets the West, kisses it smoothly, and envelops it in its own warm embrace. It is a city where even the most contrary sides find a common ground, cohabitating as one, in a symphony of love and unity. Sarajevo exists in…

  • Non-stop travel x Social media detox

    Non-stop travel x Social media detox

    This year has been crazy for me. Unfortunately, I’ve been seeing incomparably more bad (even terrible) events in the past months, in my direct environment, than nice ones. Yet, I’m staying strong, swimming with my head above the water all along, eventually passing a life vest to whomever I can. How, you wonder? As crazy…

  • A World Wonder – or a world of wonders

    A World Wonder – or a world of wonders

    Now, where were we? Ah, yes, the 3.5 hour walk to the opposite end of Petra. One way. If you are not someone who likes walking, you’re not up for a fun time. I mean, you can always ride a donkey, but where’s the adrenaline rush in that? (Even if we ignore moral implications here.)…

  • 1001 Nights in Jordan

    1001 Nights in Jordan

    And here comes my favorite part – the wonderous life-changing experience, the night spent under the desert skies. Not sure if this is what “Arabian nights” had in mind, but I’ll go for it. Have you ever asked yourself how people in ancient times were able to spot constellations in the sky? Simple – they…

  • The Magic of Jordan

    The Magic of Jordan

    One morning, my phone rang. It’s a call from a really close friend. I pick up. The voice on the other end of the line asks me if I want to go to Jordan… Yes! Now, I’ve noticed lately that Jordan has become one of the most popular off-the-beaten-path destinations. In all honesty, I went…

  • Top 10 – Barcelona Voyage Plan

    Top 10 – Barcelona Voyage Plan

    I love the quotes I place at the beginning of each of post. They turn out to be so true. Like for me, all roads did lead to Rome. I had no idea I would be traveling there at all, up to two weeks ahead – I only knew I needed to go somewhere quickly!…

  • Barcelona – The city of great minds

    Barcelona – The city of great minds

    I’ll be honest with you – the main monument I wanted to see in Barcelona was Salvador Dali’s Museum. (Un)Fortunately, it was closed for the public at the time of my visit. Ever since high school (and luckily, my art classes did not suck, like the ones in geography classroom), I’ve been obsessed with Salvador’s…

  • How to deal with overbearing stress of travel?

    How to deal with overbearing stress of travel?

    Packing again? Where is my toothbrush third time this month? How many charger cables do I need? Should I install a streaming service on my phone, in case I’m bored by the destination? (No!) How am I going to pay for another travel this year? There are over 190 countries in the world, and I…

  • Hidden gem of Europe

    Hidden gem of Europe

    The name of this post was intended to be “And I though Europe had nothing left to offer!” – but I changed it at the last moment. The long intro is there to show that in the past year (mostly) I’ve been around quite a number of European countries, and that that part requires change.…

  • Don’t be a tourist!

    Don’t be a tourist!

    Traveling to Rome a couple weeks back, I had the strangest realization. I was finally able to understand what everyday people mean with their snarky comments about tourists, especially when using the very word in a negative connotation. But what can be so negative about tourists, it’s the people who are trying to make their…
