Sopot is a Polish resort town – a gem of the Baltic coast – where it was delightful to stroll along the long wooden pier, the sandy beach, and the streets of the old town. I loved the relaxed seaside vibe, Monciak Street, and the flower-adorned boutiques and eateries. Let’s take a closer look at what Sopot has to offer.

Life shouldn’t just be a list of things that need to be done
In the morning, the alarm clock rings loudly. A quick leap out of bed, a rush to get dressed, a sip of strong coffee, and off to work. At work, there is this and that to do: solving problems, remembering things, organizing, and rushing about. After work, it’s off to the store and then home to tackle household chores and wonder if anything was left undone for tomorrow’s work. Before you know it, evening has arrived – bringing fatigue, mindless scrolling on your phone, and bedtime. Only to start it all over again in the morning. Does this life sound familiar?
At some point, this kind of existence can turn into a cycle where your days are packed with activities, yet you are barely present in them. You are constantly doing something, but when do you truly become the protagonist of your own life? Read more “Life shouldn’t just be a list of things that need to be done”
Everything seems fine. But why don’t you feel any joy?
Sometimes, upon waking in the morning, you notice that the joy is missing. The day picks up speed; things get done – you answer messages, go shopping, cook, clean, and work. You might even laugh at a joke. To an outside observer, everything looks perfectly normal. Yet, your inner state feels somehow… gray.
After all, everything is seemingly fine. You have a home and a job – or some other activity. You are surrounded by people, and the business of daily life is taken care of. Nothing particularly tragic has happened in your life recently, either. You cannot even truly say you have a reason to be sad. And yet… Read more “Everything seems fine. But why don’t you feel any joy?”
Rome: A Walk Through Layers of Time. Part 2
Rome actually exceeded my expectations and became one of my favorite major cities — right up there with Porto. Yes, there were tons of tourists there. Sometimes it felt as if the whole world had decided to crowd into the same street on the very same day. Yet Rome didn’t strike me like many big cities, where the sights are isolated islands in the middle of endless concrete. In Rome, the entire city itself is a sight to behold.

Why go to Fiumicino Airport, and what is Anzio? Part 1
Fiumicino Airport reminded me a lot of the one in Lisbon. First you walk. Then you walk some more.

I’ll tell you right away how to get from the airport to Rome, what and where Anzio is, and other interesting things. And of course, lots and lots of photos!

Trieste: Barcola Beach and Miramare Castle. Part 2
You can get to Barcola beach from the stop opposite Trieste train station by buses no. 6 and 36. The beach is rocky, but the Adriatic water is warm and the summer weather is sunny. Walking along the long promenade under the pine trees and breathing in the scent of the south is classically pleasant. You can swim in the Barcola area from April to early November. Further north of Barcola is the Miramare Castle. Let’s go take a closer look and at the end of the day we’ll also take a look at my bedroom. Read more “Trieste: Barcola Beach and Miramare Castle. Part 2”
To Italy for morning coffee. Where is Trieste? Part 1
Trieste is an Italian city that I had never heard of before. Trieste is made beautiful by the Adriatic Sea (Gulf of Trieste) and a Venetian-style canal. Trieste is located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, on the border with Slovenia. Since Trieste is a border city where many cultures have mixed, it has its own special atmosphere and charm.
