Hello! This week I am visiting Helsinki for work. In true workaholic fashion here is the list of things I learned so far: It has been 225 days since my last post. Apparently that’s 61.64% of a common year. Good thing they invented these log-me-in links because I sure have forgotten my password in the…

So what do you do when you buy a new tent? Why, you go camping, of course. And since it’s no fun to do it the easy way, you get lost a couple times on the way to the start of the trail, walk in 33°C heat (Very bad idea! But in our defense, according…
#202 Visočica
Even though this weekend was supposed to be rainy, we decided to make a day hike anyway. Visočica, boasting one of the most beautiful views of the entire Velebit mountain range, seemed like the perfect choice. Surprisingly, the morning was sunny and clear and we thought we lucked out. Over the course of the day the…

New year, same old me: sporadic, impulsive and just a tad too busy. Between the work and the apartment renovations I had zero energy for sitting in front of the computer any longer than absolutely necessary, photos and blogging included. But a couple weeks ago, everyone talked about the weather forecast: there was a hellish weekend coming…

So, it’s time to celebrate my 200th post with some gorgeous views and fall foliage. We had a great time hiking in one of Croatia’s most underrated national parks, NP Risnjak. Even though it’s probably one of the windiest places in my recent memory, I just can’t not fall in love with it every single time……

Finally got around to going through my photos from last weekend’s hike in the Julian Alps, Slovenia. The weather was perfect for lounging around and watching reflections of surrounding mountains in the clear waters of Triglav Lakes, playing fetch with the dogs (although they preferred digging for stale bread on their own, hehe), enjoying the breathtaking views of…

This week’s photo challenge theme is Rare, so I’m going to do something I almost never do and talk about something very personal: fear. In addition to a lot more writing than usual, some of the photos in this series are not my own work, but are here courtesy of my boyfriend who, apparently, doesn’t have the same problem…

Ahh, the long weekend… the gift from above! I decided I’ve had enough of active vacations, and that it was high time I spent a few days doing nothing at all. So we took advantage of the long weekend and spent 3 days in Istria enjoying the sunsets, food, cocktails, walking around the old town of…

Hey hey! How’s it going? A few more recent photos today. Last weekend we went to Velebit, the most beautiful of all Croatian mountains. For the most part, the weather was cold, windy and foggy, very autumn-like, but towards the end of the week, once we crossed to the sea-facing side of the mountain, the…

Early mornings result in long shadows, cold hands and breakfast in the sun. Our last day of the road trip to Spain, we spent hiking to Mulhacen and then driving towards El Pozo del Esparto, our final destination. In order to make this happen in one day we decided to reach the Poqueira hut the day before…
