My Top 3 Places in Portugal. 3. Faro

With this post, I am starting the line about Portugal. I will review my 3 favourite places in Portugal and make a summary of my life there. Here is my 3rd place - Faro. It is a cosy town by the ocean in southern Portugal. I love that small lovely place, its places of interest,…

The Best of Kutna Hora

During the last trip (in 2016), I also visited a city near Prague - Kutna Hora. A very cosy old town.

The Best of Prague

This is the picture post about Prague. I was in Prague twice in Winter, 2013 and Summer, 2016. These pictures are from the second trip:

The West Point of the East

Talking about my trip to Prague and my interest in history, I can not skip a particular period in Czech history - Soviet influence. The problem is I don't know how to speak about it either. This is the emotionally attached factor for me as I was born in the Soviet Union. Although I remember…

Czeck Republic, Prague

I just came from my 5-day trip to Czech Republic, lovely Prague. What an amazing place! It is actually my second time there. The first time was 2,5 years ago in winter, when it was dark, wet, and cold. Obviously, not the best time for traveling there. No wonder, I open the city for my…
