Enjoying the Moment

I have often given this piece of advice to new travellers: “You can never see everything, so don’t try.” It’s easy to get so caught up with the stories, suggestions and recommendations of peers that one forgets to enjoy where they are in the present. Sometimes I have

Rainy day in Struga

Today I was playing duduk 4 hours in a row. It was a “devil” energy channeled into playing around. Cause I have not bothered myself with the music theory. Just a blind opportunistic practice. I found that it is better than just drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes though. The only

The Difference Between Tourists and Travellers

I once found myself cycling the many hundreds of kilometres separating Split from Zagreb. Along the way I saw many road signs informing me of the distance until a certain national park called “Plitvička Jezera”. I became curious as to why this place was so famous. When I arrived I

Another day in Izmir

Today I came back to the grassy steps by the sea. There is everything I need here, I can get a snack, a desert and a beer without ever losing sight of the waves. I can sit all day with a smile on my face and a guitar in my

Sunny hostel

Took a bus from Kicevo to Ohrid. My friend said me that he has heard of this Sunny Lake hostel. So I gave it a try. Very nice layout here. Although I was hoping to take a shower I came when water disappeared unexpectedly. But I slept in a warm

Ghost rainbow

I tried to reach the previous Rainbow location yesterday. Near Dobrenoec village. Went to the very end of the car road. And made this final push to the nature. I first went up the mountain too hard. And missed the track. Then I went down and took the right track.
