“Move along, there’s no art here!”

“Move along, there’s no art here!”

The stillness and greyness of Bratislava did not really impress us much to be honest. The view from the castle contains a river, a bridge in the back, numerous red roofs and randomly placed skyscrapers. Full package with a stamp that says “average Joe of the cities”. But if you are really looking for treasures Continue reading “Move along, there’s no art here!”

The art of waiting, the charm of leaving

The art of waiting, the charm of leaving

After exploring parts of Podmoskovie it was time to buy a ticket and follow the train tracks leading to the heart of Moscow. It’s pretty common to commute for about 2 hours to your work, which is something I cannot imagine – especially after living in Slovenia, where you can get to the other side Continue reading The art of waiting, the charm of leaving

Off to the land of bears living by the rivers of vodka!

Off to the land of bears living by the rivers of vodka!

… or how I left these and many others stereotypes at home, next to the pile of things I could not squeeze into my suitcase and yes, I’ve tried numerous times with great effort. As it was my first time going to Russia I did not know what to expect, except a vigorous cold and Continue reading Off to the land of bears living by the rivers of vodka!

If you listen to your stomach you’ll end up in Lazania!

If you listen to your stomach you’ll end up in Lazania!

This little village in the Nicosia district (that has nothing to do with Lasagna from the food cathegory, sadly) was a lovely little gem on the way back. Lately I realized I prefer more and more old, empty, abandon places instead of crowded, busy streets. I was never a huge fan, but this new obsession Continue reading If you listen to your stomach you’ll end up in Lazania!

Mountains called, they wanted for us to get lost in them.

Mountains called, they wanted for us to get lost in them.

The charm of chillin’ at the beach in one moment and hiking up the mountains in the next one – Cyprus definitely has that. Of course Slovenia has that too, but when you live here you get used to things like that and of course everywhere else is more exciting! We grabbed some more coffee Continue reading Mountains called, they wanted for us to get lost in them.

Paint me like one of those Limassol walls.

Paint me like one of those Limassol walls.

If you didn’t at least giggle at this horrible Titanic reference our friendship would sink. Just like Titanic did, ha. On a more land note, here are some more photos from the Street life festival in Limassol, as promised. Did I mention how much fun was it taking photos of this? Yes? Well, I had Continue reading Paint me like one of those Limassol walls.

Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!

Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!

Nicosia, the largest city and the capital of Cyprus since the 10th century, you go Nicosia! Which is pretty badass, what’s not badass though is the fact that the city was separated into Northern/Turkish and Southern/Greek part in 1974. There’s an actual border in the middle of the city, dividing what used to be, but Continue reading Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!
