Rimini beach and San Marino
Being a Croatian (country of a thousand islands) I have huge standards when it comes to beaches and clean sea. We have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You name it and we have it: sandy, rocky, stone (big or small ones), ones that you can only get to by a boat, secluded …. Even more beautiful is our sea. Transparent, crystal clear and most important clean! So I have to say, on first sight, I wasn’t impressed with Rimini which is known for 15 km long and 200m wide sandy beach. We came late at night after a long 6 hour drive from Rijeka and decided…

Yokohama – a pleasant surprise
Did you know that Yokohama Chinatown is the biggest in Japan and one of the largest in the world? Or, did you know that The Landmark Tower has the fastest elevator in Japan (up to 750m/min)? Or, that Yokohama is Japan´s second-largest city ? Yes, Yokohama is amazing and I wish we spent more than a day here. To be honest Yokohama wasn´t even on my list to see when in Japan. I was looking to see more of a traditional Japan and I would always associate the name with tires . I was soooo wrong ! I hope I´ll be lucky enough to see it once again and give…

Flying business class Alitalia
Mr. G. always surprises me with something: a gift, a thought, a smile, a feeling (he is amazing and I’m so lucky to have him ), or like today, a business class ticket from Rome to Tokyo. So now I’m sitting at the Business Class Lounge Alitalia “Le Navi” at Rome international airport and feeling like royalty. Deciding between lasagne, pasta with vegetables, green broccoli mousse with parmesan wafer and spicy paprika, spelled flat bread with bresaola, chickpeas mousse with dry tomatoes, barley with swordfish and asparagus and all sorts of ham, must be very hard in the life of rich and famous. Since I’m a simple girl I chose…

VENICE – a weekend getaway
I´ve been lucky to see Venice a couple of times. WOW ! It´s definitely a city you don´t want to miss. Adventure, culture, food… It´s probably on every bucket list so no matter what time of the year you choose, have patience to wait in lines and walk in the small alleys. To me, it´s the most romantic place I´ve seen so grab your partner (or do it by yourself , because you are worth it) and prepare to be dazzled. How to get around Venice If you are going by a car the cheapest and closest car park to the center of Venice is Venezia Tronchetto. It´s 21 €…

Planning a trip to Japan? Take a deep breath….now….scream !!!!
Imagine planning a trip with two small children (parents will know what I´m talking about) then multiply that stress by ten and you got it! Don´t get me wrong, it´s definitely worth it but it´s more then I have imagined. And I traveled a lot. Since Mr. G. has to be in Yokosuka for work 10 days, we decided to take some vacation time and see as much of Japan as we can. This is going to be three weeks of living a dream, exploring a country that is so different and so magnificent. I´m soooooooo excited, I´ll probably forget something! We decided to see Yokosuka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Mt.Fuji and…
