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
My absolute favourite part of being on holidays is those first few hours of arriving to the new country. Coming out from the airport building, feeling warm air on your face, trying to stuff your jacket in an overfilled backpack (because if you are like me, you’re not giving any extra money to Ryanair), hearing … More Exploring the South of Spain
I had to make one last stop in Puerto Natales before I left Patagonia. For no other reason, but to go to Aluen Patagonia, the most amazing gelateria I have ever been to. Well, OK, perhaps I’m lying, I also had to catch a flight back to Santiago. I was sad to leave Patagonia, but … More The end of my South American adventure
El Chaltén turned out to be my favourite place in Patagonia. After finishing the O trek, I caught a bus from Puerto Natales to El Chaltén, where I was planning to do more hiking. My legs felt tired, but strong and I was excited about spending a few more days exploring on foot. The border … More Trekking El Chaltén
Thought maybe I should call this post “W trek”, which is what this part of O circuit is better known as. However, I decided to be boring and go with “Part 2”, which turned out to be a very different experience from what I wrote about in my previous post. Day 5 – Paso to … More Torres Del Paine – O circuit – Part 2
I remember the day I decided on doing this trek. It wasn’t a special day, just one of those dark rainy days in January, but I remember telling a co-worker I wanted to go to Patagonia. That was the point when it all became real and I promised myself that a year later I would … More Torres Del Paine – O Circuit – Part 1
It is strange to think how small the world felt 8 months ago when you could travel whenever and wherever you wanted. It has only been this long since my feet touched Patagonian soil, but it already feels like the trip happened years and years ago. I bet you are wondering why I called this … More The Land of Giants
I woke up late that morning and eventually dragged myself out of the hostel. Even though I was exhausted, I was really thrilled about the day ahead, I was heading to Valparaiso! I had been wanting to visit the city for such a long time, that I couldn’t believe this was finally happening. I heard … More Valparaiso
January 2020 – I am sitting on the plane after a sleepless night, listening to Billie Eilish’s Everything I Wanted and wondering what the next three weeks are going to be like. It’s still dark, I’m tired and very nervous. How can I not be nervous – I have never been to South America before … More Santiago de Chile
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
