Moving Abroad: 5 Things It Takes to Become a Nomad
A couple of days ago I was on the flight to Geneva and read a really interesting article in the EasyJet Traveller magazine about generation of roamers or what I call nomads. These people move abroad with just a couple of suitcases on a regular basis in search of professional or personal opportunities.

So today, I wanted to explore this topic a bit more and share my insights into what it takes to move abroad and become a nomad. 1. Being flexible and ready to push your boundaries Moving to another country,…

72-hour guide to Kefalonia, Greece: Captain Corelli, Skala, Avithos Beach and Much More (Part II)
“It takes a lifetime for someone to discover Greece, but it only takes an instant to fall in love with her” said once Henry Miller. I can only wholeheartedly agree with him! Having just come back from Kefalonia, one of the Greek islands in the Ionian Sea, I have to say I instantly fell in love with its beauty and tranquility. There is something beautiful about the simplicity of its lifestyle, which after London’s hassle and bustle felt like a breath of fresh air.

72-Hour Guide to Croatia: 5 Top Things to Experience in Split
I love Croata! It’s one of my most favorite places in Europe. I visited Dubrovnik and surrounding islands three years ago and loved Dalmatian coast with its beautiful nature, amazing history, warm sunny climate and friendly people so much that I had to go back! Split is perfect for a short European getaway, and even though it’s not as big as Dubrovnik, there is still plenty to see, do and try. Here are my top 5 experiences not to miss in Split: 1. Feel the romance of its tiny streets and do some ‘people watching’ on the promenade. The Old City of Split is a myriad of narrow and winding cobble…

London Gems: Land of the Lions ‘Lands’ in the London Zoo
I have a confession to make. As an animal lover and someone who considers herself a Londoner, I haven’t been to the London Zoo until now. On a warm sunny March afternoon, I have finally set my foot on its territory and embraced the feeling of childhood. The reason for such excitement was the new Land of the Lions 2,500-square meter exhibit that just opened at the London Zoo. This breath-taking exhibit transports visitors from London’s city jungle to Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Sasan-Gir) in Gujarat, India. It provides a unique opportunity to meet up close and personal Asiatic lions and learn more about their natural habitat. Within…
