Seafood and icy ouzo on Lesvos island

In my mind the Greek island Lesbos (Lesvos, both transcriptions are valid) will always remain the homeland of ouzo drink and the freshest seafood I’ve ever tasted. The island is much closer to the Turkish shore, than to the Greek one and has been several times handovered between Greece and Turkey. Unfortunately, it lately became popular as

How Brexit made me LOL

Poor British! Half of them is devastated after the Brexit referendum. The other half is celebrating …no idea what! Like an EU citizen, I was not prepared for such an outcome. On June 22-nd before Brexit referendum all the bookmakers have claimed it’s completely sure UK is going to remain in EU. The share of

Lake Como, Italy - a fantastic getaway

Built on the Greek side of the island, Paphos charmed me by its calmness, endless sunny days and artistic atmosphere. The legend tells, just a

When God is a Roman in Rome, Italy

  Do you believe in coincidences? I mostly don’t. I watched a movie long ago, named “The Celestine prophecy”. The main subject was meant to actually destroy the theory of coincidence chain and then shared the idea there is no such a case as coincidence, but everything happens as it’s meant to be, at the

A coin gets me back to Rome

I would probably never find out why the flight to Rome, Italy makes me so excited every time I do. Must be something really magical in that city, that pulls me back over and over again. Approximately every three to five years I am back. I have a hunch. The story is a bit weird, but
