It has come, another year is running the last moments towards its end. The year 2017 has been fantastic for me... Absolutely fantastic. I have met so many amazing people, including the most amazing person in my life :), visited so many interesting places. Even though there were some moments when it all went down the hill, in general, it was awesome. When I reminiscent the last few years, each brought me something very new. In 2015 I finally moved to my own apartment and got a job that made it possible for me to travel a bit, in 2016 i flew by plane for the first time which has been, till this day, the scariest moment of my life. But eventually i got used to it and my number of flights exploded in 2017. I also went outside of Europe for the first time and made my ancient dream come true to visit my beloved Constantinople. And I also earned my first 300 euro for traveling - how I did it, I will report in one of the future posts... So, expectations for 2018 are high and I cannot wait to see them come true. Let's meet here again next year :) Happy New Year guys. :)

Piran - Where Slovenia and Italy meet
Hey guys :)
Even though this beautiful little town is in Slovenia now, it has been part of the Venician dominion for cenuries; and during the 20th century was even part of the united Italy. It has been made part of the former Yugoslavia only in 1946. Now it is probably the most beautiful coastal town of Slovenia. If you just walk through the little streets of the historic center, you will see that much of the Italian atmosphere has survived in the city up until today. Welcome to Piran.

you tourist bucket lists. But trust me, this little sweet city still has
something to offer.
