Manhattanhenge a unique sunset experience

City break/Destinations
Manhattanhenge a unique sunset experience

New York is a great place to view the sunset all year around, but there are days when it’s especially breathtaking. Manhattanhenge is one of the summer’s most exciting moments. Tudor city is an apartment complex located on the East Side of Manhattan, between 40th and 43rd streets and First and Second avenues. Overpass built after the construction the new headquarter of the United Nations is now one of the best spots to observe Manhattanhenge. Hundreds of people gather on the streets to observe this incredibly beautiful phenomenon. Only photo I’m still missing from this place is the one with a snow so I definitely need to come back to enjoy this breathtaking view in winter edition. Twice a year the sun aligns with the earth exactly between Manhattan’s buildings. Since our planet is spinning, the sun sets at a different angle every day. The rectangular grid of Manhattan allows this phenomenon to happen in late May and mid-July. Manhattanhenge, also called the Manhattan Solstice,  is an event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east–west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City.  Excellent places for viewing Manhattanhenge are 14th, […]

the best views in New York City

the best views in New York City

I finally found some time to write few blog posts with New York City as main star! Since last summer I got so many messages on my Instagram page referring to this subject so I decided to put some things on “paper” for all of you who are dreaming to visit this magical city one day. I’m so happy that I had chance to spent 3 months in Nyc and again, after 2013. live my dreams. At first I was really afraid to come back as I wasn’t sure how I’m going to “feel” this time and didn’t want to break my bubble of love that I was secretly keeping for myself during last 6 years . However nothing has changed! I was still madly in love with the city ! And hopefully it will stay like that for many more years. But let’s go back to subject; in this blog post I wanted to share few of my favorite views around Nyc. Some of them are not typical tourist places so I really hope you will put them in your itinerary. So let’s start with countdown:   Tudor city  is an apartment complex located on the East Side of Manhattan, between […]

truffle hunting in Istria

City break/Destinations
truffle hunting in Istria

Thanks to Tournant and their amazing open fire workshop this September in Istria I experienced my first ever truffle hunting. We stayed for 4 days in beautiful villa in Livade overlooking hills of Motovu. Such a magical scenery to wake up to, covered with morning mist. Beside amazing food, great company and beautiful nature we did excursions every day. One of my favorite was truffle hunting operated by Karlić family. First they showed us their property and made for us some delicious food; scrambled eggs with truffles and some sweets combined with chocolate spread mixed with truffles. Most of the families who run this kind of business have their own forests where they search for truffles. We went in the forest with our guide and two beautiful dogs trained for truffle hunt. Their names are Leila and Candy. Candy that day wasn’t really into work so Leila saved the day. 🙂 Because they grow underground they’re very difficult to find. But fortunately, truffles have a particularly pungent perfume that mimics certain hormones given off by pigs so other pigs can be trained to hunt them. Dogs are also used to go truffle hunting in Croatia since pigs tend to eat the flavorsome […]

ghost town – U.A.E

City break/Destinations
ghost town – U.A.E

If you are big fan of a spooky stories stay with me as you will hear one right now. I don’t know if you believe in ghosts or not but we all must agree on one thing; there is something powerful almost magical around this places. Abandoned a few decades back, the village now lies half buried in sand, and nobody precisely knows why. The locals say that village was last inhabited by the people of Al Kutbi tribe. The houses that you see here, date back to the 80’s.     Legends have it that there could be a nasty “djinn” ( a supernatural creature that Muslim community believes in) responsible for driving the residents away. It is also, more likely that the unwelcoming desert was the main reason for driving people away. Google Map locates the ‘Buried Village’ quite accurately, but you will need a 4WD to cover the final stretch of the route that leads to the village. Our adventure almost finished terrible as we got stuck in the sand but the local guy who was with us help us to get back on track and we managed to get on a solid ground.     Once […]

Oprtalj – my first time in Istria

City break/Destinations
Oprtalj – my first time in Istria

Earlier this year when I got an invite from my blogger friend to come and spend two days in beautiful b&b Palazzo Angelica in Oprtalj I couldn’t be more happier. Actually it’s sad that I have travelled all around the World but this was my first time in Istria- one of the most beautiful regions in Croatia. I didn’t have big expectations but to have fun with rest of the bloggers and to see as much as I can from this picturesque little village. We had an itinerary that was mostly combined with tastings of local food and beverages. Do I need to tell that gin and beer tasting was my favorite. Maybe, but just maybe we had few drinks over the limit but that’s what good company is for ! 🙂 Oprtalj is small village situated in the central Istria, right next to famous “Motovun “! This area is known for truffles and  wines. Everyone who loves good food should come here and try their authentic cousin. You will thank me later ! Our stay in villa was amazing ; huge pool, great company and perfect weather – all elements for a great time. If you are curious to […]

one day on the lighthouse

Destinations/Island life
one day on the lighthouse

On the address Pokonji dol 1 you will find the most cute house ever ! Actually is not a regular house it’s a lighthouse ! I don’t know why but ever since I was a child I was impressed by the beauty of lighthouses ! There is something mystical about them ! Don’t you agree? This year I tried to change my mind as I spent lot of time in Croatia ! I push myself to see and feel already seen things in a new and different ways! And now when I look back on the photos of the summer I can only say one thing; “my county is one of a kind “! Truly a beautiful place that will make everyone come back for more ! However I spent one day during the sunset on this island and captured beautiful photos that I wanted to share with all of you ! It would be such a shame to only post few photos on Instagram and the rest keep it for myself ! This small island is located just 5 minuets boat ride from the city of Hvar ! It’s a private property but I was lucky enough with a visit […]
