Posted on 24/11/201522/11/2016by Katechka

Being a parent is not an easy decision. Having the first child already may seem a bit too overwhelming and imagining to have a second one can feel totally impossible. But before you decide to do it the Chinese way (and even China is relaxing the rules of one child policy now and will allow […]

I am an adventure park addict. I discovered this obsession only a year ago, when I was taken to Disneyland (a dream come true for every Eastern European girl, heh). When I was mentioning this day trip to my friends in Paris, they were all saying – you gotta go to Parc Astérix instead. Ten […]

My rants: Why I hate Airbnb flat balcony house

Hard to imagine a better deal when traveling! Stay at flats of locals, discover how they live and enjoy your trip to the fullest. All this alone does not make up any reason why one should hate Airbnb. But I have one…oh wait – I have actually more reasons to hate Airbnb! And do you […]

The Czech Republic is: a) neighbour of Germany and Austria; b) the most developed from the V4 countries; c) a country that lived under communism for four decades and since the Velvet revolution break out, also a country that focuses its foreign policy on the protection of human rights.

Zrce beach club Kalypso

My Croatian friends warned me: Do not waste your time at Zrce beach. But I am stubborn, and I did, and what I experienced was worth a thousand and one warnings. So, I am giving the same advice to you: Do not waste your time at Zrce beach. Zrce beach, Croatia’s answer to Ibiza Zrce […]

Sziget Festival summary: Day 4 Heat & dust on fire

Posted on 19/08/201522/09/2015by Katechka

Day 4 was the dustiest and crowdiest day at the Sziget festival.
