TRAVELINGI LOVE traveling! And it doesn`t really matter where, at least I`m somewhere away from the usual stereotype and that I can explore something NEW; new country, nature, food, culture, lifestyle etc. I`ve travelled criss-cross Europe so far. The only time I went beyond borders of Europe was two years go in September. I went to Tunisia for 8 days on a vacation. I liked it very much of course, it was something absolutely different from the European culture though it`s not so far away anyway.I hope that I will visit USA, South America ( Brazil, Equador etc.), Australia and New Zealand and some parts of Africa and Asia too. Of course, I`m planning to travel across the whole Europe, especially Spain, Great Britain and Scandinavia because I`ve been to Sweden this year and I loved it!

Cycle TourHello everyone! ;)Yesterday I was with my dad in Austria. We put our bicycles on the top of the car and we drived to Monchhof (a village not so far from Neusiedler See). There we parked our car and we began our tour. :) I took us 6 hours including some breakes and we`ve cycled 65 kilometres! I suppose it was my longest bike tour ever when I don`t count those when I was little and I was sitting in a child seat on daddy`s bike. :D It was beautiful to see Austria from an other perspective. I loved the small cute villages (all of them are SO neatly maintained!), the salt lakes (did you know there were salt lakes in Austria, I didn`t!), national parks (soooo quiet and wonderful nature), the high watchtowers, the water in Neusiedler See and the rush in Podesdorf (we had an ice-cream there :D ). 





Italy

Hello! :)This time I want to write about well-known country rich in history and it boasts with its beauty. :D I really love Italy and I also want to learn Italian, it`s such an wonderful language! Actually, I can`t decide between Italian and Spanish language. Personally, Italian is more attractive for me. ;)I`m glad I have the opportunity to visit Italy almost every year. My uncle married an Italian woman-Carla-my aunt and they have 2 children, Anna and Paolo, my cousins. And that is often the reason why we go to Italy. They live in Bologna, an old city that`s famous for their university- oldest one in the world. Bologna is an amzing city that is a mix of history and up-to-date things, for example in century old buildings there are luxury shops like Versace, Gucci, Vero Moda,  Armany etc. The people in Italy also care a lot about their appearence. Women (mostly from cities) never go outside without make-up and nice clothes even when they go to pick up a packet from the post office.

Some years ago when I was in Italy I was very surprised by behaving of Italian people. Firstly, they have almost never stress, they rather miss the train as if they would hurry a bit. They also rather stay at work 2 hours later but in the morning the get up at 8 and go to a caffee for a delicious cappuccino and a cake. :P Italians are night people. The streets in the evenings and night are full of people. They have fun, they celebrate (that it isn`t so hot as during the day :D ) and they EAT. My funny experience happened 2 years ago. It was after half past 12 in the night and I had already washed my teeth and I had my pyjamas on when my uncle said: “Everybody in the car!” I was confused, “why in the car? I`m going to sleep!” They looked at me as if I was mad but I put on my clothes and went with them anyway. We drived to overcrowded streets where everybody was holding a huge ice-cream. My uncle quickly asked which  kind of ice-cream do I want and in a minute he was back with an enormous one (in Slovakia like 7 scoops) and he said:” That was the smallest one I could get.” :D
