We took another trip in mid-November and caught the last days to enjoy the autumn colors in the forest of Zemplén Mountains before all the leaves fell (and before all the hotels got closed to tourists in Hungary). We only spent a weekend there, and we’ll surely go back when we can take trips again.…

It was not our first visit to Croatia, but the first one to Istria. We fell for it, and our favorite place there was undoubtedly Cape Kamenjak. “What? Have you been to Rovinj?” Yes, we have, and Rovinj is a close second favorite. But that’s the way we are, usually more impressed by unspoilt nature…

It’s not easy for us to love fall. Our favorite season is summer, followed closely by late spring. Fall is complicated. It can be beautiful, but sad. But with time, we learned to appreciate that we live in a country with four seasons. We love the fall foliage in Hungary. Our mountains are of medium…

We’ve already told about our experience hiking with a newborn baby. Since then our baby is already 1 year old, and we went hiking with him whenever we could during this spring and summer. We hiked in Pilis, Börzsöny and Vértes Mountains near our home, Budapest, in the hills of Balaton Uplands National Park and…

Whitewaters Valley (or Bielovodská dolina in Slovak) is located further from Štrbské Pleso and the other popular central locations in Slovakia’s High Tatras. The valley actually runs right by the Slovak-Polish border at the beginning. And taking the trail…

With a 10 days mandatory quarantine in the beginning, followed by a rainy week and a weekend spent with our families, not much travelling happened in October. Nothing, to be exact. We read the news quite gloomily and had a couple of hikes near Budapest, that was all. While October is usually the time for…

We’ve recently written a post about stunning Croatian beaches you’ve (probably) never heard of. And now we’d like to tell you about the famous ones. The ones that you’ve (probably) heard of or read about if you visited or planned to visit Croatia. But are they really that fabulous? Are they worth all the hype?…

Sure, people can live without travel. Countless people in this world do that, because they can’t afford travelling for various reasons. (And we don’t even count people who simply don’t want to travel. Or at least not to faraway places, but to the same ones they know and love.) Travel is not an essential need.…
