(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) I’d bet in a big amount that you don’t taste very often the soup of the holy spirit. Well, neither do I. But in the big-fat-easter-fuss I had a chance to try it. I am not religious (I have my own eccentric ideas of our world) and […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) ‘Because it’s there.’ said Edmund Hillary when he was asked why he had climbed Mount Everest. I could provide you with a similar answer for the question why I climbed Mount Pico. Although it’s significance in the history of mankind is obviously indifferent, it’s outstanding for me […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) The Azores. This name still sounds exotic enough to my ears (and the Portuguese name even more, the Açores), although I have had enough time to get used to this. A couple of times, day by day, I pronounce it just for myself, when I simply love […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Boa sorte. Good luck. I think this is exactly what led me here, to a tiny little island in middle of the Atlantic, Faial. Faial is one of the nine islands of the Azores, an exotic archipelago with an exotic name. And how I ended up here […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) For me lake Balaton is the Riviera. My heart is full of sunshine, I took only my swimming dress for the journey. It passed already a couple of times but summer at lake Balaton always waiting for us. We are sunbathing on both shores of Balaton, I […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) For me one of life’s biggest gifts is to meet with interesting people during travelling. In some cases this means only five minutes spent together, but still resonating long inside me for a reason. Meeting with Robert is just like this. His first sentence is something like […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Reg:They’ve bled us white, the bastards. They’ve taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers’ fathers. Stan:And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers. Reg:Yes. Stan:And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers. Reg:All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what have […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Flying to the island of Madeira is a quite unique experience, and not just because you have to cross half of the Atlantic ocean, but also because the airport is a bit tricky. I really don’t want to spoil it, so I just tell you, it was […]
Listen to the music while reading blog post. Madeira. The name of the island means wood in Portuguese language. And this is not a coincidence, as the island was totally covered with forest when it was discovered. I certainly not visited this island when it was discovered, therefore I found there quite a lot of […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) – Girls, what are you going to eat this evening – Well, probably nothing. – I am going to cook, you are supposed to wash the plates. Deal? And of course, it is a deal, because Andreia is an excellent cook. But wait, before continuing, I have […]
(Listen to the music while reading blogpost.) The place where I volunteer is a colourful guesthouse with all the good vibes and a remarkable atmosphere. Its name is Maktub, which means something like destiny, or things are already written and everything should be as it is. It is situated in a small village with just […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) ‘Excuse me, sir, would you mind helping me find my pants in the bush?’ I don’t know about you, but in my life this is not a usual fist sentence in an introductory situation. Life can not be predicted, though, and sometimes we just introduce ourselves for […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) My attitude regarding travelling has changed a lot for the last years because of different experiences. I used to be an employee with just a couple of days for going to holiday, so my original style of travel was the usual let’s-go-somewhere-and-see-as-many-sights-as-we-can-just-to-return-home-more-tired-than-before-holiday. Then my life changed fundamentally […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) On the tiny island of Madeira it starts raining exactly 36 times a day (at least in November). If nights count as well, you can add an extra 15 times. They say that between June and October there is absolutely no rain, so I have the strange […]
