How do you find inspiration?

I'm having some trouble with finding that spark to work on my blog. It's been more than a year since I've posted something. And it makes me really sad, but I just can't find it in me. I'm currently working on one post and I just hope that I'll be able to finish it this week.

Do you have a blog? Tell me in the comments how are you dealing with this and what's your blog name. I would love to read some posts about traveling, maybe then I'll get the will to write again.

Would you like to go on a ride in the shortest funicular in the world?

Funicular in Zagreb is the world’s shortest funicular. The track is only 66 meters long.

It is also the oldest means of public transport in Zagreb. Since it has completely retained its original appearance and construction, the Zagreb Funicular is protected as a monument of culture.

Although it was not its original purpose, over time, Zagreb Funicular has become an unavoidable tourist attraction.

It connects Upper and Lower Town, and the ride duration is 64 seconds.

Did you know that the Canary Islands are one of the three best spots in the world to observe the sky?

If you are a fan of astronomy or you just love to watch stars, Mt Teide is a perfect place for you.

The peak of Teide is away from light pollution and above the clouds, which makes it a perfect place for stargazing.

What do you think how many days in the year is the peak of Mt Teide cloudless? Well, our guide told us the answer is about 350 days a year. Imagine now how “lucky” you have to be to visit this place on a cloudy day.

I'll just say, I don't have to imagine it 🤣

In rare situations like this, the stargazing takes place in a small planetarium. In the end, we’ve seen the stars above Mt Teide in a warm planetarium. That’s not so bad, don’t you think?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Amsterdam?

I must admit, until last month, for me, it was Red District and drugs (biggest stereotype, I know 🙈). But Amsterdam is more than Red District and drugs and it definitely has so much more to offer. Gorgeous architecture, so many museums, bridges with breathtaking views over the canals on every corner, beautiful squares and parks where you can take a break from all the cycling (or walking).

My advice to you, if you're planning to visit Amsterdam for the first time, would definitely be to explore the city beyond these two obvious things that everybody knows about Amsterdam.

Are you planning to visit Bled? As beautiful as B

Are you planning to visit Bled?

As beautiful as Bled is, staying there for a longer period of time can be a little boring for a wandering soul.

So here are some of the day trips you can do to keep that explorer in you happy:

▪️Ljubljana - that beautiful city with a laid-back atmosphere is just a 40 minutes ride from Bled. Admire the architecture, take a coffee in one of many cute coffee shops or explore the Ljubljana Castle
▪️Lake Bohinj - many people say that Lake Bohinj is an undiscovered version of Lake Bled. It's only a half an hour drive from Bled, so why don't you decide for yourself
▪️Vintgar Gorge - take a walk along the 1.6 kilometers long and 250 meters deep gorge located just 10 minutes ride from Bled. You won't regret it!
▪️Triglav National Park - a fan of hiking? This is the right place for you! Chose one of many beautiful paths and enjoy the views

Have you already visited some of these places, or would you like to visit them?
