Why I started this

-
I sometimes wonder what I actually want to do in life. When I conduct an interview, I sometime even ask the applicants the following one - If money didn't exist, what would you like to do till the end of your life? 

And honestly, if I myself get this question, I would feel totally trapped - it would mean to look deep into my own soul and personality, back at where I come from and the things I've done so far and make a decision and I can't do this in seconds. So I know many other people don't know how to answer this honestly either. 

Thinking about it I assume it would be great to go to work with a smile and do the thing which makes me happy the most. However what is it? Is it travelling the world? Or shooting pictures? Or trying different cuisine? Meeting new people? Exploring adventures and discovering new opportunities? YES to ALL! 

So this leads me to think about my blog - something I started some time ago. Something for which I had this nice but also giant idea - that I will go places and then share my personal views and what i enjoyed there, what I didn't enjoy, what are my own recommendations for things to do and places to eat or what to see. 

And truth is - it's not going very well. I do post on Instagram from time to time, but I rarely find the actual time needed to put down my feelings and emotions and share the experience from a trip. 

So for the new year I would challenge myself to do more of this and share more and often. After every trip I'll try - at least a short review of the best and worst from it. 

So that I can do what I wanted to do in the first place - share my perspective from the random traveler point of view, so that it can help other travelers find the best experience for themselves. We only have limited time so can't waste it doing everything possible, let's at least do the things which can bring us a "star" experience.

Lalaria Beach Skiathos

If you are planning a trip to Skiathos, you have most probably heard about Lalaria beach. This amazing "must-see" destination which is hard to reach but worth it. I myself was very passionate about seeing it and have no regrets.       How to go there? There is a number of options as many companies offer boat tours. There are tours only to Lalaria and there are also combined trips. The combined ones seemed great to me as they give the opportunity to visit Lalaria and Tsougrias the same day so you don't have to give away two of your days for beaching, but just one. The combined trips cover both beaches, show you the caves (I have never found those interesting, honestly) and also give you the opportunity to spend time in Kastro. This is the old town where you can see the fortress and there is a beach as well. The cost is € 15-20 per person. The boats leave from the old port at 10 in the morning and return at 17-18. There are different options depending

Issos Beach, Corfu

This is one of the southern beaches of the island and was great!  If you love beach bars, this may not be your place - the bars there are not like the ones at other beaches, but the beach itself is very nice!  Fine golden sand, crystal-clear water... Exactly what I wanted - line which I used almost every day looking at my feet through the magical small waves we had.  At the place where we chose to sit, there was a small bar from which we could get drinks and food - salads, sandwiches, Aperol.... And it was nice since there was light music. The toilette was close too - just up the hill. With the locker from the outer side... :D In general, I would recommend the south beaches - no stones, the water is exactly as one would expect from a Greek island.... There are umbrellas and sunbeds - the cost for 2 beds and the umbrella is 7 euro, which I find reasonable. There is free zone too. What I really liked is that at greek beaches people usually come later

Wake Up! - Varvara Day 2

Had a second day at the Wake Up beach. It is amazing and I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again. This time the water was not as clean as the previous day, however the place was still as wild and great!  As I have already tried the yoga, this time I decided that I can skip it and try something new instead. Krassen still had a group and everyone is always welcomed to join, it's a very open event, however I was  not in a workout mode.  Instead I wanted to take a walk on the cliffs and be able to enjoy the view from there! Looked amazing!  I also like to try something new and see a different view or the same from a different angle as this gives amazing opportunities. Taking a walk on the cliffs on the left, I followed a path between the trees and bushes and if you follow it to the end you will be able to enjoy the same view - there is a very small secluded area where the sea touches the shore and manages to transform the rocks into pebble beach. I
