117 days of travels – good bye 2016!

I finish each year on the blog with a summary of past 12 months. I do it for myself in the first place, it’s a good way to reflect on the recent ups and downs and appreciate what I have and what I achieved.

Trebic, Czech Republic – charming town with two UNESCO sites

The majority of people visiting Czech Republic focus only on Prague and surroundings and I get that – it is stunning out there (Prague is my all time favorite city anyway). But the country has so much more to offer, with so many interesting little towns that you probably haven’t heard of.

Slovak Paradise and Kosice Region by train

Cool and laid-back Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine

The whole idea to visit Ivano-Frankivsk came from one picture I’ve found online. A picture showing a grand railway station, a perfect example of architecture from the times of Austria-Hungary.

Is it a good idea to visit Kyrgyzstan in November?
