Lisbon is indeed a great place for travelers. Most of all, there’s always something to explore in this city, and second of all, they have those amazing, old trams which give the great, vintage vibe. And of course: sangria! Even though this one should be definitely on the first place of this list. Borth Portugal and Spain has been spoiling us when it comes to the culinary, but it was in Lisbon, where I’ve ate my best Bacalhau à Brás. And that itself tells a lot about this beautiful city. So if you haven’t been there yet (or you have, but you want to rediscover it), here’s my list of…

Snowboard in Austria – region of Carinthia
As a child I’ve always awaited every winter and literally every possibility for sledding. Now I also look forward to snowboarding, but the fun I’ve experience while we took our sled to the top of Alps was beyond comparison! A year ago, when my boyfriend asked me if I want to go sledding with him, I had no clue that he didn’t mean just ordinary hills (as it happened during my childhood), but walking up to a real mountain and sledding from the very top until down. That’s what I call a true winter fun! Worse, if I sit in the back and he let it slide so fast, that…

Moving to and working in Austria – useful information
The decision to change the country is usually not the easiest one. Finally, we have to deal with official matters, sign lots of papers, look for a flat, and this is just the beginning of acclimatization in a new place. From my own experience, however, I know that it all sounds much scarier than it really is. It all depends on our approach and the reason for emigration. For the first time I went abroad for a year because of my studies, and in many cases I could count on the help of the Swedish university. For the second time I left completely independently to Austria. Due to frequent questions regarding housing and…

My favorite Christmas markets in Graz, or why it’s worth visiting Austria in the winter
Holidays in Graz mean one thing: Christmas markets (fairs). And there is nothing better than mulled wine with friends during a cold evening. Yes, I know, you say that it is not profitable, that it is better to buy a bottle and do it yourself, that everything in such markets is overpriced.. I will never agree with it. There is magic in supermarkets. Period! Similar, traditional supermarkets have been known for a long time in Austria, Germany, but also Slovenia, and are slowly starting to spread a bit also in Poland. For me, the only real fairs are the Austrian ones and if you’ve never been to Austria – here’s the reason to…

Travel through the famous wine street in the south of Austria
Last warm and sunny days were also the last chance to hop in the car and drive to the famous wine street in the south of Austria. South-styrian wine street, or in German Südsteirische Weinstraße undoubtlesly became one of my all-time favorites when it comes to the best place to visit and relax. You could already read about this place in the post about the most beautiful place to visit during Autumn in Austria. That’s why I decided to use every opportunity to go there, before the days become too dark and cold in the afternoons. It’s crazy how different the days are now. Not so long time ago I was driving…

First travel to Amsterdam – information and prices
The choice to fly to Amsterdam was completely spontaneus. Do we fly? Sure! And in a couple of minutes the tickets were already bought. Even though Amsterdam wasn’t really on the top of the list of the dream places to visit, soon after landing I already knew that it will jump into the list of my favorite cities! First travel to Amsterdam made me want to visit it again – the sooner the better. Their architecture amazed me completely. Thin, high houses, all stacked in the rows; big, open windows, lots of sun and interiors taken straight from the catalogues – it lookes like a mixture of Scandinavian and Dutch…

My dream red swedish Dala Horse – Dalahäst
The red, wooden and hand-painted Swedish horse is the symbol of Sweden and the Dalarna region, where I had the pleasure to live and study. The Dala Horse appears on everything: on a package of typical crunchy bread, as a keychain, on napkins, jerseys and many more. Traditionally produced in Nusnäs (about 80 km from Falun) is well known by everyone in Sweden and its popularity has not diminished for years. But instead of Sweden, I found him in Austrian Graz – now the figure is proudly decorating my wall. Where did it come from and why I didn’t buy it earlier? My pretty Swedish horse fits perfectly to my white interior Dala Horse In Sweden…
