  • Hello, Ljubljana!

    November 21, 2018 in Slovenia ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

    So pleasant to be back to Yugoslavia (don't tell me that this country no longer exists, I know😉) and hear familiar "prosim", "hvala" and "zdravo"🤗 Ljubljana has met me with rain and chill yet offering great city views with empty streets. Somehow, I felt it pretends, pretends for something although not sure what - will see it tomorrow😊Read more

  • Ljubljana

    November 21, 2018 in Slovenia ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

    Somehow I liked Ljubljana at night more than during the day. Best thing to do here - just wander around those charming streets and squares of Old Town, visit the castle right in the heart of the city and mingle with localsRead more

  • Shame, Croatia, Shame!

    November 23, 2018 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Shame! I want to repeat this line from Game of Thrones seeing it (look at the textbox below, from huge tourist map hung at the entrance to Dubrovnik Old Town): "Shame! Shame! Shame!"
    ...
    Shame on you, Croatia, for promoting racism! Shame! I can't believe that European Union country allows to mention present nationalities to refer to war crimes of the past, Shame! We need to learn from the history yet not to keep blaming, Shame! Why don't you mention, Croatia, ethnic cleansing you done in Bosnia during the same years? Shame! I truly do hope someone would remove this fucking board from the walls of beautiful Dubrovnik! Where does UNESCO look at?!Read more

  • Perast

    November 28, 2018 in Montenegro ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    A small town of Perast in vicinity of Kotor, home to 350 people, that was built more than X centuries ago. When all tourists leave, and rain gives way to the sun, the magnificence of the place might outshine any other Old Town in Adriatic SeaRead more

  • Pink Dreams

    December 6, 2018 in Montenegro ⋅ 🌙 0 °C

    Looks like a club yet at was just 4pm. Thank you, my friend, for fabulous conversation as always!

    He is a good example of how a full-grown man can be a kid - no laughs! And having said this I truly mean it and admire it!

    We're caged by our society, foisted with opinions of other people, our assumed liberty is a delusion yet our true freedom is suppressed somewhere deep inside. Unleash it, do what that kid in your heart fancies to do, don't look at others and do enjoy your life. But - no harm to others😉

  • Nauru

    December 12, 2018 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

    Handmade 3D papier-mache map of Nauru. Since I was 12 I've been dreaming to visit this small place, collecting all bits of information about it from magazines, books, articles, drawing and copying maps from all sources I could get access to back in 90s. Internet wasn't there back then😁 And I've decided to celebrate 25th anniversary of my childhood dreams in this place🤗Read more

  • Never Say Never

    December 16, 2018 on the Maldives ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Never Say Never - another country that tought me that: Maldives. Before coming there the first time - on the way from Indonesia to Iraq when my Indonesian visa had expired and Iraqi visa hadn't been granted yet - I tried to avoid the Maldives thinking of laziness in resorts only. But that chance had opened my eyes and I discovered a country of amazing people and beautiful places, authenticity and simplicity of life. And I fell in love with it - my small paradise of GulhiRead more
