ENG | PL The current situation regarding the coronavirus pandemic influence on travel is very dynamic – no wonder that 2 of my flights with the same airline within 3 weeks looked very different. While in my humble opinion, some of the airlines & airports are managing the whole situation in a somewhat organized manner, some of the procedures or rules that are being implemented do not really make sense. During these past months, I didn’t want to risk travelling with different airlines, so when I really needed to travel – I chose my trusted national line LOT Polish Airlines. In this post, I will be focusing on the rules that have been incorporated at the airports of HAM (Hamburg), WAW (Warsaw) and LUZ (Lublin) specifically and flying during pandemic with LOT, since this is the only airline I trusted during these hard times. I want to share my personal, honest and true opinion of how flying during pandemic was for me, and also point some light at whether it is safe or not. The itinerary I boarded on was LUZ (Lublin) – WAW (Warsaw) – HAM (Hamburg).

ENG | PL Moving to a different country for the first time is a big deal. No matter how much do you think you want to leave your country and how ready you think you are, there are some things worth knowing before you make the move. I moved to Italy to live there when I was 19 years old. It was an easy decision -> the dream of living in this wonderful country hasn’t been leaving my head since a very young age. It was “my place to be”, a destination where I felt I belong, where I was sure my final home is. It was with a great excitement and determination that as soon as I graduated, I made the big move.

As it turned out, it’s not that easy. I left Italy after 1 year of living there for a lot of different reasons that you can read about in the post -> I lived in Italy for a year. Why did I come back?
But in this post, I want to share with you some things I wish I knew before actually moving to a different country, but only realized afterwards.

ENG | PL How to get somewhere for free? How to avoid the entrance check? Maybe there’s a way around it? How to get a drink without paying for it? Honestly? This kind of behavior is very visible and regular cruisers really hate it. Explanations like “because I want to save money on it” are not accurate… because if that is so, a luxury cruise ship is not for you! Dear first time cruisers… let me show you why I see you from a mile away.

ENG | PL Historical monuments are epic, let’s agree on that. They have a whole story behind them, adding up to their touristic value & making people obsess over visiting them. As a result, there are millions of people visiting the most famous monuments, cities like Rome or Venice, making it impossible to see the architectural gems in peace. But what majority of the people don’t know is that.. these characteristic landscapes most of the time have their “twins”, which are very similar if not the same, while some of them have their literal rip offs! Check out this post to discover 95 replicas of famous landmarks.

ENG | PL Today’s post is going to be quite different from what you can usually see on our blog. I think most of us who travel at some point ask themselves a question of how does a foreigner actually see our own country. Well, I asked myself the same. Not long ago, my boyfriend have visited Poland for the first time and I took this opportunity to hold a conversation about things he noticed here. To my surprise, most of the things he mentioned are not something we even realize about our own country. To add more clarity to his point of view, let me add that he has been living in Germany for the past years and is originally from Ghana. Curious how does Poland look from a foreigner’s point of view?

• Milena, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. – I sighed full of doubts. – But do we have anything to loose?
• Treat it as a specific kind of a diary. This way we won’t forget our impressions and we will have a lot of memories to read through & remember. And if it becomes more than that? It can only get better. – Milena was, successfully, convincing me. In the majority of the matters we have always been compatible and overall we went through a lot together, her ideas never let me down one way or the other.

They say that if you start your year with a big kick – you’re gonna have an awesome year ahead. And that’s exactly what happened! The year 2019 was greeted by us with great music, champagne toast and amazing ballroom dresses – and that is exactly how our whole 2019 went: in gala dresses, luxury places and full of Prosecco…

As many of you already know, my lifetime dream since I was a little girl has always been the same: to live in Italy. Between happy & positive people, where everything seems so much more joyful and less stressful, where you can always just take your car and drive to the beach, enjoy the afternoon aperitivo with friends and have a long lunch break in between your work to enjoy your meal with your loved ones. The dream didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to: and I ended up living in Italy for a year. But I’ve had my reasons! Want to know why this happened? Then keep reading.

ENG | PL Finding a best friend is difficult, but traveling with a friend is not any easier, if not even more complicated. People have different personalities and often have totally different points of view on how to spend their spare time.

08:54. There was still 18 minutes left till the flight, Warsaw-Milan. I haven’t known yet what should I expect. I was flying to an unknown girl which I have seen only 3/4 times in my life before. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea at all.
