A few days ago, someone asked on Twitter: “Has anyone ever written an article about 5 things to do near Ljubljana Airport in case your flight is cancelled or delayed?” His Tweet got a huge response, but unfortunately mostly for the wrong reasons. If you want to know why, I’ll explain briefly in the next two paragraphs, but if you are only here for the “things to do” tips, just skip them and scroll down to “le big 5”.
Stenice so žive prasice. Lahko se zgodijo tudi vam.
Ko mi je prijateljica predlagala, naj napišem članek na to temo, sem kar lep čas oklevala, ali naj razkrijem nekaj tako »intimnega«. Najprej zato, ker nisem bila prepričana, ali bom hudiča sploh lahko premagala. Potem zato, ker so me noge in roke tako prekleto srbele, da nisem bila sposobna spisati niti enega odstavka, brez da bi pustila krvave sledi na tipkovnici. Nenazadnje pa tudi zato, ker mi je bilo malce nerodno. Ugrizi stenic pač niso ravno seksi.
5 things to do in San Francisco
“If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” – listening to this beautiful song with a gentle voice of Scott Mckenzie is definitely the right way to start planning your trip to northern California. With so many iconic sights to see and things to do, you will be spoilt for choice if you are planning to visit Frisco, as the locals usually call this vibrant city. If you are only in town for the weekend, or if you don’t have time to do your own plans, here are 5 things to do in San Francisco.
Tiny San Marino
“It’s not enough to imagine it. Come and live it.” A bold statement from such a tiny country, don’t you think? The Republic of San Marino is actually the 5th smallest country in the world. Can you tell the first 4 without using Google? 😉 Anyway, we are talking about a pocket state here, entirely surrounded by Italy, located on a mountain with killer views of Italian landscape and Adriatic Sea. We visited San Marino in the end of April, during our road trip to Italian region Umbria. At first, our plan was only to stay there for a couple of hours but the atmosphere of San Marino old town was so pleasant that we decided to spend the night. So, let me tell you in short “how to visit San Marino”, including tips for those who are traveling with a dog.
Ugriz stenice: kaj pa zdaj?
Zadnje tedne se na veliko piše, da so stenice na Hrvaškem. Žal lahko temu pritrdim, saj sem bila tudi sama žrtev teh odurnih krvosesov. In žal so bile posledice veliko hujše, kot pri večini primerov. Sem namreč (uradno diagnosticirano) alergična na vse živo in moje telo se je očitno odločilo, da mi bo življenje zakompliciralo na čim več načinov. V stilu »če že toliko potuje, naj vsaj trpi«. In čeprav sem ugriz stenice doživela tudi v ZDA (torej stenice niso samo hrvaška posebnost), takrat reakcija ni bila niti približno tako burna kot sedaj. Več o mojem nesrečnem primeru si lahko preberite tukaj, v nadaljevanju pa bom opisala postopek zdravljenja oziroma kaj storiti, če te ugrizne stenica.
5 common excuses people make for not travelling more
Have you ever wondered what is it about travelling that inspires people to leave their homes and explore the far corners of the globe? I believe travelling changes people for the better – it helps them discover and even reinvent themselves. Journeying across continents is an exhilarating and richly rewarding experience, one that shouldn’t be put off . The tourism industry is booming with nearly four trillion pounds being spent on the travel sector every year. In fact, there’s never been a better time to see the beauty of the world for yourself, and all the excuses you’ve been making to postpone your travel dreams are just not good enough.
Lovely Cambodia
Oh, lovely Cambodia, where do I start? First, I need to say that Cambodia was never on my bucket list. At least until last year when a couple of friends told me about Angkor temples. It took me just a few clicks to realize I needed to see this UNESCO heritage site ASAP. The only question left was: what else to do in Cambodia for one week. Digging deeper for things to do in Cambodia I found a piece of paradise just a short flight away. The island of Koh Rong Sanloem seemed like a perfect choice to escape the European winter and extend Cambodian adventure.
