The Best Attractions and Sigths of Malta

4 April 2020

I must say that I was thinking of visiting Malta for quite some time as I had a good feedback from feidns who were there. But in most cases I was hearing: oh Malta, they have lots of churchues! So I always thought of it as the country where the main attraction are ...churches. Well, nothing wrong with it but I saw so many of religious architecture in my life that it wasn't my main desire to see more during another travel. So.. it wasn't at the top of my list.

26 August 2019

I never had a chance to visit Sweden before - I was usually going to sunny places plus had no occasion to do so.

Rio de Janeiro's Hidden Gems

7 June 2019

Everyone coming here wants to "tick off" the most famous and known attractions such as Corcovado with the Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf or Copacabana beach. And that's totally fine especially if you are in Rio de Janeiro for just a few days. Holidays doesn't stretch left or right so it's natural you want to do the most and not too miss the important bit.

Paqueta Island - The Bike's Heaven

2 June 2019

First I ever heard about the Paqueta Island was when I missed a language picnic Organised there. I took a look at the map and found out a little island in the Guanabara Bay just between Rio de Janeiro and Niteroi. Ever since then I wanted to go there. I finally got an opportunity one Sunday at the beginning of May and a nice weather seemed to favour the idea of a day out of big city. Continue reading...

You probably heard of it or already know that capoeira is Brazilian martial art. It's not the most popular of all martial arts but for sure it's one of most intriguing and quite different than Asian versions. It combines physical training and fight with music and singing which sometimes make people believe its rather a dance. Continue reading...

How to extend tourist visa in Brazil

22 May 2019

Brazil is fantastic country for holiday and longer stay... and it is huge. It covers almost the area of Europe and it is bigger than Australia. Enough to say it's the fifth biggest country in the world, with the size of a continent rather. Just a bigger city alone can take you long to discover so when will you get enough time to visit other states? Or maybe you soaked so much in the local atmosphere (like I did) that you do not want to go back home. No matter the reason you may find yourself in the situation that 90 days is simply not enough to explore. Why 90 days? Continue reading...

Rio de Janeiro is a huge metropolis and probably the most famous city of Brazil, to the extend that most foreigners think it is the country's capital. Well, it isn't, not anymore at least.

'Credit Or Debit?' Or Rio By Card

2 May 2019

Shortly before leaving this time for Brazil I discovered a cool digital bank Monzo and set up an account. The advantage of it is that they don't rip of in currency exchange and allow withdrawal abroad for free for the amount of up to £200 so I don't loose money for simple banking services. If you have to live off your savings every penny matters. Continue reading...

1 April 2019

One of the things I love in Latin America is the abundance of food and eating choices. When I first came to Rio de Janiero I couldn't feel disappointed.

Loving Heart Never Forgets

22 October 2017

I ordered my taco and walked of the bar to see the view from the pier in Ventura. Ordinary women in jeans, dark blouse and woollen hat covering bright long hair was sitting on the bench. One knee under the chin, cigarette in one hand and a phone in the other. I saw the sunset on her screen. Continue reading...
