    Tokyo

    22. heinäkuuta 2016, Japani ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    After more than 6 years working in Japanese company I've decided to go and see this absolutely different from us country and people.
    One more self made trip allowed to see almost the whole country, though there are still places to come back.
    Tokyo and Yokohama were nice though I couldn't get rid of feeling that they stuck in their successful past of 90th. All skyscrapers, techno achievements are now looking a bit old fashioned.
    I always prefer nature to big cities so my next stop in Kawaguchiko was more than nice.
    Blooming hills, lake with reflection of Fudji, 12 hrs climbing to the top (July is the only month when the climbing to Fuji is possible) and back and then relax in hot water in onsen ...
    Magic Temples of old Kyoto and a day in a geisha's dress (to big happiness of Chinese people who stopped me for photos every minute 🙈)
    Rest on the coast of Miyajima where wild deer are like friendly pets, strolling along the streets asking for paper booklets (they prefer it to biscuits), wonderful nature and perfectionism in everything.
    According to their own word each Japanese has 6 faces. You never know what they are really thinking of you. It's absolutely another world, another planet! Very interesting trip!
    Each journey allows to discover so many new things, new people, new stories...
    What a wonderful world we are living!

    Delhi

    15. maaliskuuta 2016, Intia ⋅ 🌫 26 °C

    India had never been in my short travel list, but when my friends invited me to go there to celebrate Holi fest in March 2016, I couldn't say no))
    We chose the golden triangle route - to see most famous Indians attractions and happend to be in Jaipur for the Holi itself.
    All city became mad (too much rum, hashih tea with milk on +38 heat helped to support a very good mood), everyone tried to cover me with different colors powder, singing, dancing, hugging... The craziest fest I've ever been!
    India shocks you with colors, smells, sounds...
    Spicy but tasty food, incredibly amazing but almost destroyed temples, people living in a trash and being happy with such life.
    It's an experience ones should try at least to appreciate more what you have in your life!

    Switzerland

    21. helmikuuta 2016, Sveitsi ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

    FB kindly reminded me today about my trip to Switzerland exactly a year ago.
    Actually, it was a business trip (if the delivery of my boss' daughter to posh St Moritz ski resort can be called a business😂)
    It was not my first time in Switzerland but this tiny country is so nice and there are still so many places to discover.
    So, Lucern is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been. It's like to find out yourself inside a postcard 😍
    Old beautiful architecture, simple and good (but very expensive) food 🙈
    But the most stunning is nature, of course!
    Snowy mountains and green hills with first spring flowers, air is so clean that it is sweet, transparent water in the lake inside the city...
    It's like a paradise!
    A paradise I'd love to live when I will be 90...
    Now it's too quiet for me 😂

    Namibia

    30. joulukuuta 2015, Namibia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    My first acquaintance with real Africa began in Namibia. 3 girls in a huge Toyota Hilux - we crossed the whole country within 2 weeks.
    Amazing colors of dunes in Namib desert, a lot of wild animals, absolutely mystic place - Dead Valley, happiest New Year celebration on the ocean cost.... Best food, open and very friendly people.
    I will definitely return one day here!
    P.S. Lesson #1 - never, never drive on a black sand! There is a water behind it and it can swollow your car within an hour.
    Thanks to local guys who saved us in the middle of nowhere 🙏

    France

    12. heinäkuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    I try to mix posh/trash trips and finally came the time to change trekking shoes for high heels and silk dresses - we headed to discover unknown (at least among Russians) part of France: Alsace, Champagne, Normandie and Bretagne.
    Small flowery towns - Colmar and Kaisersberg, where real soul of Old France still has remained, houses in fachwerk style, blooming Giverny, where I finally visited the villa of my adorable Monet (I would also became a painter if I lived in such a place 😂)
    Posh Dinard, where we stayed for a week on Atlantics - place where high level French bourgeois spend their holidays.
    And, finally, Nante - it was impossible to miss the native city of the hero of my childhood - Jule Vernes
    What can I say it's absolutely different France.
    With a lot of stereotypes ruined and if Paris demanded 5 times visit to love it, those regions immediately conquered my heart.
    Especially Rouen! Very old and beatiful city with such a magic atmosphere.
    City where I felt I am ready to love again....

    Morocco

    1. tammikuuta 2015, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

    I have a tradition that I follow already for 14 years - to celebrate New Year's Eve in a different country (preferably warm😀)
    So, my 2015 year began in a depth of Sahara desert.
    It was a road trip along the whole Morocco and though I've been there before, for the second time I was even more impressed by this country.
    My special love is Essaouira - city with a unique charm and aura.
    Amazing Legzira with crazy energy of the ocean and it's orange arcs.
    Absolutely fairy tale Chefchauen - city with 50 shades of blue high in the mountains.
    Morocco is underestimated by many travelers who stay mostly in Agadir and can't feel the real sole of this country.
    As for new year's night it was one of the best in my life: after 3 hours ride on a camel along absolutely Dali landscapes we arrived to our camp, where the festive food and fire were already waiting for us.
    Dancing along the fire all night (its damn cold at night at the desert! ⛄️) with Berbers who were singing Alah Akbar 🙈, looking at the huge stars above me I was absolutely happy and sure that it would be a very special year.
    At 5 am we climbed to the highest dune (real challenge after cognac, followed by cold wind and your legs stucking deep in the sand) and met the sunrise there.
    Thus my 1st day of 2015 began.
    Travels are the most precious things in my life.
    It gives so much unforgettable moments and emotions that are always with me.
