Within the first 5 minutes of entering Montenegro we were caught speeding. On the long straight road just after the border control, there was a white and blue police car (looked like any car from a distance) with a policeman dressed in dark blue – no way of spotting them. We were going 62km/h in … More A little bit of Montenegro
I had no expectations for Santorini. I thought I saw too much of it on instagram and I imagined it to be too touristy for my liking. However, I thought I’d probably never get a chance to go there with the family again, so we added this island to our itinerary. I have to admit … More Santorini
Deciding which islands to visit in Greece is probably one of the hardest things when planning your holiday there. There are roughly 6000 islands, with over 200 being inhabited. Even if you were on a reaaaaally long holiday, it would still take hell lot of time to see them all. Obviously, some of them are … More Paros
Both of my parents had their 60th birthdays last year, so we thought the best way to celebrate was to have a family holiday somewhere warm. It’s incredible how difficult it can be to plan a holiday when you choose to travel from two different countries. There was no point for me flying to Lithuania … More Athens
I am sitting in my room, which is now slowly turning into a jungle with all the new plants I recently bought (let’s call it lockdown fever) and I am feeling extremely home sick.

Exactly a year ago I was wandering around Helsinki, thinking how amazing it was to finally visit Finland. Spending Christmas at home usually means getting flights with a random stop over somewhere and this time, I could spend a day in Helsinki on my way back to Edinburgh. I arrived quite late, so after I … More Helsinki
I wish I knew who, when and where planted an idea in my head that I needed to go to Ghent. It had been bothering me for a few years, so in January earlier this year I finally made a weekend trip to Belgium. The flight times were perfect hence on Friday night I found … More Ghent & Brussels
In June 2018 I went back to Lithuania for my brothers graduation and I spent a few days with my parents in one the most beautiful places – Curonian Spit. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage, 98km long and shared between Lithuania (north) and Russia (south). It’s a complete paradise that I recommend visiting to anyone … More Curonian Spit in Lithuania
In May 2018 I agreed to catch up with one of my best friends in Hamburg. Not sure if it was a joy of finally seeing her again, the weather, the city or the combination of them all, but I had an absolutely fantastic time there. What really surprised me about Hamburg was that there … More Hamburg
Going to Batumi was like going back in time. I remember seeing some of my parents’ photos from years ago when they used to travel in the Soviet Union. Almost everything in Batumi felt like being transferred to the scenes of the old photos and the feeling was really rather strange. My parents agreed with … More Batumi
