You guys, I pride myself in knowing a few words in the local language of everywhere I go. I made locals smile in Cairo with my Arabic greetings and I picked up basic German quickly. Swedish, however, is a different story — and I was totally lost with figuring out Skellefteå pronunciation even though I spent 3 […]

I’m not 100% Polish by blood, but you’d never know it based on my family traditions. Until I was 10, I thought every family sang sto lat on birthdays. My sister makes the best homemade pierogi in the world and we import special dried mushrooms every year for Christmas wigilia. My dad even knows what page my photo
If you read any travel guides, you’ll find suggestions on which beaches to visit in Istria. Most likely, these are beaches within walking distance of town (or maybe just outside it).

This protected area covers 880 square kilometers, so there are plenty of things to do in Triglav National Park, but it’s nearly impossible to narrow it down if you’re
If you’re heading to Egypt, you can’t miss Cairo. The Great Pyramids of Giza are the obvious draw, but there are many other things to do in Cairo too! I squeezed Cairo attraction into just 2 days, which is VERY rushed, although doable. Add another day or two so you have a little time to
All of Egypt is one big mental exercise, with travel to the largest city being the biggest challenge. The city is incredible, but it’s also a challenge. I won’t sugarcoat things in this Cairo travel guide. If you’re planning a trip to Cairo, here’s the reality of what to expect, with no nonsense, no BS,

Just like my college physics lectures, I tend to drift off during explanations on mechanics, although I suppose I retain 5% or so by osmosis. But the ss Great Britain, regarded as the first modern ship, attracted
