Potovanje v času epidemije: Počitnice na Maldivih

Po tem, ko sem zbrala pogum in objavila prvo fotografijo z Maldivov na svojem Instagram profilu, so me prijatelji in sledilci zasuli z zasebnimi sporočili. »A si res tam? Kako si letela? Se sploh da potovati? Si imela kaj težav na poti? Kako je s testi?« In pa seveda klasična vprašanja o Maldivih: »Na katerem otoku si? Koliko si plačala? Ali so hoteli polni?«, na katera sem obširno odgovorila že v tem članku. Ker sem se na Maldive odpravila na zaslužen dopust (med epidemijo smo imeli v našem podjetju nekaj mesecev skoraj izredno stanje), ga resnično nisem želela preživeti na telefonu, zato sem vsem odgovorila enako: »Ko se vrnem, spišem blog, kjer bom odgovorila na vsa vprašanja.«

Countries without travel restrictions during Covid-19 pandemics

Sick and tired of quarantine?  Well, who isn’t? We have been more or less stuck at our homes since March 2020. Can you imagine how this must feel to a travel addict like me? *desperate sigh and nose wipe* If you are anything like me, you are already making travel plans for 2021 and counting the days when we’ll be free to travel again. However, did you know that a few countries are already completely open for tourism? Meaning, there are countries without travel restrictions or entry requirements due to Covid-19, like mandatory quarantine and PCR tests for tourists?

Počitnice na Maldivih – nasveti za brezskrben dopust

“Kako spet Maldivi, a nisi tam že bila?” in “Pa kaj vidiš na teh Maldivih, a ni tam en sam dolgčas?” sta tipična komentarja prijateljev, ko izvejo, da grem “spet” tja. Ko kasneje na družbenih omrežjih objavim kakšno fotografijo, se plošča hitro obrne: “Packa, ti na plaži, pri nas pa kidamo!” in “Jaz bi šla tudi! Koliko stane en teden na Maldivih?”. Okusi so seveda različni in tudi žepi niso vedno dovolj globoki, da bi si lahko privoščili pobeg v ta raj sredi Indijskega oceana. Za tiste, ki vas zanimajo počitnice na Maldivih (mimogrede, zaradi podnebnih sprememb naj bi bila večina otokov pod vodo do leta 2100), sem pripravila nekaj nasvetov in odgovorov na najpogostejša vprašanja. Na koncu članka so […]

Safari in South Africa

Going on safari in Africa has been on my bucket list since forever. I always thought I would do my first one in Kenya or Tanzania, but after a deep research I decided that safari in South Africa is the best option for beginners. Planning a safari trip is quite a challenge itself; in fact, you need to ask yourself a lot of questions even before you start planning your itinerary. Which country is best for safari, should I do it alone or with an agency, how many days do I need, will I see all the animals, is safari dangerous and similar questions that probably brought you to my blog.

Resort review: Vuyani Safari Lodge (Hoedspruit, South Africa)

After the decision about safari in South Africa has finally been made, I started harassing different lodges near Kruger National Park with my ultimate question: “Will I see the lions?” While some owners didn’t even bother to respond, the majority of others told me that they couldn’t guarantee lion encounter. The manager from Vuyani Safari Lodge was a bit more specific: “I can’t guarantee you will see lions; however, our guests are usually very lucky.” I already had my eyes on this property due to their good Tripadvisor rating and great sense of humor on their web page and social media accounts. Having discussed the details with Bernard was the ultimate deal breaker, so I booked 5 days in Vuyani […]

My bucket list for next 7 years

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, most of people aim to lose weight, quit smoking, do more exercise … or something else, mostly health-related. Well, I have been a good girl for years now and I am well aware that healthy lifestyle is a journey, not just something you promise to yourself (and usually fail) every year 😉 Instead of making resolutions, I decided to come up with a bucket list of 7 destinations I want to visit and 7 activities I want to do in the next 7 years. As I mentioned in my post about my travel favorites, my goal is not to visit all countries in the world, but it is pretty damn close. And since […]

My travel favorites

I have visited 4 continents, 50 countries and 20 states in the past 15 years. Not bad for someone who only has 24 days off work per year, right? Well, there is simply not enough time to see everything (as I say in my Instagram bio: “someone has to pay the bills”), and some places are so wonderful that I just HAVE TO keep coming back. I have created a list of “My travel favorites”, where you can get the feeling what type of traveler I am and hopefully add one of them to your bucket list as well. After all, you are here to get some new travel tips, right? 😉 So, my travel favorites are … 1. MY […]
