Surfing lessons from Bali

Destinations/Island life
Surfing lessons from Bali

Do you remember that feeling of driving without an instructor for the first time? Or riding a bike, landing a job, your first kiss, getting a good grade? First catching a green wave gives you that profound sensation of achieving something new, but it’s amplified by a million things. As the first surfers blazed their trails; expressing their freedom and exploring coastlines, they were often misunderstood and outcast. Much less appreciate that guys were out hunting for waves instead of working 9-5 jobs, so surfers were branded abnormal and lazy among other things. But In the 90s bleach-blonde surfer bum was the definition of ‘cool’. There were half a dozen surf mags on the shelves and every other t-shirt was covered in Californian surf prints; surf boards, palm trees, campervans. Along with the rest of my generation, my perception of surfing was lead by the media, brands and fashions, rather than the sport or lifestyle itself. I had a romantic notion of surfing in my head, but that’s all it really was, I was in love with the idea of surfing. For years I’ve been dreaming of a remote beach in the middle of the ocean where I can get off the radar and enjoy robinson’s life! My first connection with surfing […]

Istanbul – photo diary

Istanbul – photo diary

In my last post I pointed out some useful informations about what to do and where to go in Istanbul. I didn’t go in details, I’ll for sure come back for longer period in the near future. Four days weren’t enough to explore rich history of this multicultural city. But no matter how chaotic it gets, you can’t deny that Istanbul is one of the most fascinating cities on the planet.  You don’t believe me ? Then stay and go with me to a photo journey. Everything what I missed in last post you will find in following pictures ; food, fresh fruits, people, shopping, rooftops and many more.  Hope you will enjoy it !

Don’t miss it – short Istanbul guide

City break/Destinations
Don’t miss it – short Istanbul guide

 Istanbul is one of the most vibrant and interesting places in the world and only city that is situated between two continents. All this gave Istanbul special charm that will expand all your senses and make you come back for more. I had Istanbul, for long time on my bucket list but somehow each time plans failed and I end up not going. Finally, this time we made connection.  From now on I definitely have special place for this city in my heart.  One of the keys to understand Istanbul is to experience the extreme difference between the West and East.    Explore Istanbul’s most interesting neighborhood – Arnavutköy Well, I know Istanbul has more then one cool neighborhood but this time I’ll write about Aranvutköy. A historic neighborhood famous for wooden Ottoman mansions and seafood restaurants, located on the European shoreline of the Bosphorus. Don’t forget to walk around the homes behind those that front the waterfront as this neighborhood has so much to offer ! Most picturesque houses are hidden all over this quite neighborhood. Just wait to show you what I have found there! Take a ride with a ferry boat   Along the tram, metro and taxi ; ferry is one […]

a view from above – New Zealand’s air safari

a view from above – New Zealand’s air safari

New Zealand is a traveller’s dream. Packed with spectacular landscapes and virtually untouched national parks -the scenery alone is enough to inspire most visitors. This is a home of bungy and where you can find every other type of adrenaline rush you can think of – and some you’ve probably never even dreamt of.  As I’m facing my first summer in Dubai (read “hell” ) somehow my mind flew back to a New Zealand adventures I’ve experienced this year.  And one of the best was air safari around the tallest mountain, Mount Cook (3724 m).  I know I’ve promised to write a lots of posts about my trip to this magical country but it will come, step by step when inspiration kicks me, like today when I’m trying to cool down by watching this beautiful snowy landscapes of New Zealand’s tallest mountain when the heat takes over the Dubai slowly. This was one of the highest ranked attractions I wanted to visit during my stay and I almost miss it. Well, everyone who ever visited New Zealand or lived know that weather there can be tricky, and sometimes been described as “four seasons in one day “. During my visit, even tho […]

Parisian doorways

City break/Destinations
Parisian doorways

Well Paris you made me love you from the first time I’ve visited, 3 years ago, but love on a second sight was something special. There is so much beauty on every corner; architecture, stunning parks, restaurants and vibrant doorways. Paris don’t let anyone down. This time gorgeous doors along the Parisian streets caught my attention and in less then  a week I found myself with a camera full of it. So next logical thing was to write a post. It’s simple.  I feel like doors can have a personality of their own. My father was a carpenter and I remember watching him make all kinds of wooden doors many times. He put his time and skills to creat something that we use in everyday life. Sometimes we don’t even notice things around us, but while you are in Paris stop for a second and enjoy this works of art.  There are beautiful doors in almost every  arrondissement but I loved to explore ones in Latin Quarter, Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Pres and of course in lovely Montmartre.  I wanted to show you another side of Paris that is not Eiffel Tower or some other major attraction. Life’s beauty is in “small” things. […]

Icelandic black fairytale – Vík and Dyrhólaey

Icelandic black fairytale – Vík and Dyrhólaey

The first association black has is a with mystery, the unknown and the hidden. Black is color of magic – the color that hides. It can be used to hide feelings, to separate oneself from the world. Black doesn’t usually express many emotions but when you get up on the hills that overlook black sand beach in Vík you will feel nothing but tsunami of emotions.  I still remember the first time I saw this beauty, I just stood there for hours watched the white sea foam coming and going and leaving those beautiful traced patterns on the coal black sand.  This is one of my favorite spots in Iceland. Why is like that I really don’t know. Guess black magic got control over me. Just kidding, but when you see the pictures you will know why.  HOW WAS IT FORMED? Black beaches are common thing on the coast of volcanic islands and it’s usually created in either two ways. One way is when lava from the eruption hits the cold ocean and causes the lave to explode, forming small glass – like shards which become rounded as the ocean waves erode them. Another way is similar to how white sand beaches […]
