My story with Louvre in Abu Dhabi was short and sad – the museum was opened in November of 2017. ; exactly 3 weeks after I left U.A.E for good and moved back to Zagreb, Croatia. I felt so bad that I left Dubai right before they opened it. However it didn’t take me too long to take vacation and visit friends back there. This time I didn’t want to miss Louvre and I booked my ticket online for a 60AED and went on Sunday to avoid weekend. For those who don’t know weekends in U.A.E are from Thursday till Saturday. Actually there wasn’t many visitors that day and we spent there around 3 hours, mostly because I was trying to make good photos outside of the museum which is in my opinion the most beautiful part of the whole building. While I’m writing this I would love to sit there for hours and just watch the sun playing around making the different ambient second after second. The possibility of accessing the museum by boat or finding a pontoon to reach it by foot from the shore is equally extraordinary for each new person entering this amazing piece of art. The project […]
My recent trip to Tanzania was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had. After this article you will know why! It is so hard not to fall in love with beautiful land that Mother Africa has to offer. Honestly, this trip was for a long time on my bucket list but somehow was afraid of it. Guess lack of knowledge and all rumors made me wait this long. And now after I did it all I want to do is to escape again, this time for longer period and try to help and build better future for this amazing community. The Maasai people reside in both Kenya and Tanzania, living along the border of the two countries. In last decades way of living for a Massai tribe changed a lot. They still live by their heritage but some of them are leaving the nomadic way of living and move to bigger cities. Many Maasai tribes throughout Tanzania and Kenya welcome visits to their villages to experience their culture, traditions, and lifestyle. They charge 50$ per car which is fair amount in my opinion. There are several villages you can stop by and enjoy their tradition and performance. Opening the village for tourism allow tribes people […]
Have you ever dreamed to have a house made of bamboo by the river in the middle of nowhere? I am one of those people. Living close to water, in a house made from nature, and constantly able to enjoy the surroundings would be what I consider a dream home. Especially nowadays when everything seems to be fast and crazy. Guests seeking peace and zen are sure to find it here, along with a fully equipped kitchen and a scooter that is free to use. As well you will be lucky to share house with cute cats and dog. Stick with me and get to another dimension of hygge. The Hideout Bali is located in a place called Selat, which is a 40-minute drive outside of Ubud. More precisely the house is just outside the small village of Alas Tunggal in perfect location for a peaceful rest. The countryside around this part of Bali is beautiful with paddy fields that spread across the valley floor and forested hills. The bamboo house was nestled perfectly by the river and surrounded by nature. It was love on the first sight! After I show you photos you will understand my great love for this […]
When I started a blog I didn’t think one day I’ll write a post about plane wreck ! Who would ever want to visit place like that ? Well, Iceland surprise even on that topic. Some flights go down over remote, inaccessible spots that make it difficult to recover the remains. Other planes are left as memorial to those who died in the crash. No matter the reason for their abandonment, many of the hidden wrecks can be visited by anyone with a drive for adventure. Once a symbol of the golden age of air travel, a Douglas Super DC-3 airplane lies forgotten on a deserted black beach in Iceland – untouched since it crashed more than four decades ago. The most common theory is either that the plane crashed because it ran out of the fuel or because the pilot accidentally switched to the wrong fuel tank. The plane was one of four Douglas Dakotas based at the US Navy based in Keflavík, which was important military base during the Cold War. The base was closed in 2006 when the US Navy left. It’s tail and wings are gone and it’s windows are all smashed but it’s still more then breathtaking attraction. Stay […]

I’m quite sure that most of you heard for Long Neck tribe, maybe someone of you even visit them as they become one of the main Thailand’s attraction. But I’m not sure how many of you know the real story behind that well played show. So their sad story started when they moved to Thailand, in the end of 80’s and beginning of 90’s as the refugees, running away from the civil war that was taking a big wave in their homeland, country of Myanmar. The Thai government gave them asilium when they first came but then they didn’t let them go back. Now they don’t own anything, without proper identity card they can’t even move anywhere from their villages, they can’t cultivate anything on the land because Thai police can put them in jail. So they are pushed to do the only thing that they are allowed to do – being a tourist attraction. Their exotic tradition inspired the creation of tourism villages in 1985. Some Padaung moved to these artificial hill tribe residencies with work permits to make a living on tourism. But without citizenship, Kayans have limited access to utilities such as electricity, roads, health care and […]
