World cruises are actually a thing and they last a

World cruises are actually a thing and they last approximately 4 months. [ Price below ]

For a traveler, going on a world cruise is the ultimate heaven - you get to visit all of the most popular destinations on all of the continents - and you do it without the inconveniences of flights or drives - by effortlessly “partying” on a ship and waking up in a new destination the next day.

Some ports even offer overnight stays where you can go & check out the nightlife and immerse yourself into the culture of the destination more thoroughly.

Some of you probably scrolled all the way here just to see the price of this luxury travel experience - a 4 months cruise in an interior cabin on @msccruisesofficial starts from approximately 12000 €, which includes the cabin accomodation, food, entertainment (theatre, contests, performances, parties), pools and solarium decks, as well as a few free tours of choice.

Impressive, isn’t it? Would you dare to take a 4 months cruise around the world? 🌍 (Of course provided the pandemic is over and we get back to normal 😅)

Some facts about Lublin: * it’s the 9th largest

Some facts about Lublin:

* it’s the 9th largest city in Poland (2nd largest in the historical Lesser Poland, the largest to the East of the Vistula River)
* the population at the moment is of about 340.000 inhabitants (decreased from 360.000)
* it was established before the 12th century, but got the town rights in 1317
* the Lublin parliament was the place where the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was created
* The Old Town of Lublin is tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland as one of the official national historic monuments, since it was almost fully preserved during the WWII

One of my top 3 museums/art galleries I have ever visited in Europe is definitely @hamburger.kunsthalle
The versality of exhibitions, the original pieces from the most talented artists ever and the amount of artistic soul that lays in that place makes it an unforgettable experience. 🕋

What’s your favourite museum and why? Or maybe you don’t like to visit museums at all? Let me know 🏛

TODAY IS THE DAY 🔥 I have finally finished writing my book!!! 📖

I think the realization still hasn’t really hit me yet and I will need a moment to understand how did it really happen, but my first NOVEL is now complete, front to back. 💙

There is still a long way for it to be published, from final edits through the paperwork and then hopefully print, but this, itself, is already an achievement that I can’t believe I accomplished!!!

More info about it soon 💙📖
By the way... the photo hints at what the novel is about 💙

Visiting sacred places during your travels should

Visiting sacred places during your travels should be followed by a special etiquette. ⛪️🕍

It doesn’t matter whether you personally bonded to any religion or not. Churches & temples are places of worship. And while shooting photos on the outside and admiring the exterior architecture is fine, shooting pictures INSIDE of the temple can be considered disrespectful. When entering a church or a temple, put your camera down. What for you might be an interesting cultural discovery, for others it’s a place of silent prayer and meditation.🌅

ALWAYS consider the rules that apply to visiting a certain type of sacred property. For catholic or Christian churches it involves covering your arms, stomach and legs, meanwhile for other temples, such as Islamic ones, you should also cover your head. Do not disregard this rule! 🎑

Why do I choose cruising over regular travel? 🛳

Why do I choose cruising over regular travel? 🛳

That’s a question I get when I tell people I cruise a lot.

There are many reasons as to why I think cruising is an efficient and enjoyable way of exploring the world.

1) Being able to visit multiple places, day by day, during one journey - I will choose it anyday over a 2 weeks holiday in one place.

2) Not feeling the inconvenience of transportation (like sitting in one spot on the place) - on a cruise I can go to a bar, to the pool, dance - I can do whatever I want while I’m still being transported to my destination!

3) Cruising combines exploring & discovering the world with an onboard entertainment that offers a huge variety of activities. When I’m on the ship, I participate in a lot of trivia quizzes, dance competitions (it’s a must for me 🤫), shows and games.

I’m patiently waiting until the cruises resume again and my booked ones won’t keep getting cancelled.
When the cruising resumes, would you give it a try? 🚢

What does happiness mean to you? 🌕

To me, happiness means warmth. Sometimes it can be the warmth of the sun on my skin, sometimes the warmth of the embrace of someone I love.

I find happiness in the little things, in the plant growing slowly yet decisively, in a creative revelation during a writing session, or in watching the waves as they slowly dissolve and form new ones.

Happiness is also being able to see new places, explore them, sometimes get lost in them, and feel another culture by being right there, right now.

But happiness is also, or most importantly, people.

Conversations, little laughs, making people smile or having long talks about things we have seen or learnt or heard, discussions, but even just staying in the same room, sipping tea, and feeling each other’s presence.

To me, that’s happiness.

Is this going to be our new reality? 🗾

Recently someone has asked one of the politicians in our country “when are we going to come back to normality”.

To what the politician in question has replied that “this is our new normality”.

And honestly speaking - it was one of the most depressing things I have ever heard.

But I chose not to believe that - many countries have already moved forward, bringing new ideas into life and helping tourism flourish again. 🏩

I believe that guests will fill empty hotels again, bringing the soul of hospitality back into them. 🏨

And I believe we will soon all travel again.🗽

What do you believe travel will look like a year from now? 🛫

In today’s chaotic world, it is worth stopping f

In today’s chaotic world, it is worth stopping for a moment to taste the true feeling of freedom, peace and quietness in order to find yourself again and experience the surge of energy and creativity. The scent of conifers surrounding the beautiful wooden houses on a hill would seemingly suggest simplicity. However, the luxury of its interiors, combining traditional spruce elements with sophisticated refining, is the main characteristic of this amazing resort at the foot of the Pieniny Mountains. The place I’m referring to, is of course the luxury @nonamehotelspa in the Polish Mountains, a resort that needs no introduction – the moment you step into its area you will understand what love at first sight means. 🍃

———————————————

The wood motif is ubiquitous throughout the resort – spruce trunks as decorations, bathrooms with a “barrel” bathtub and refined countertops are the main elements of the designer style reigning in the interiors. The minimalistic fireplace seems to be the heart of the complex, allowing for a real mountain aura to take over the atmosphere of the whole resort. From the windows, you can see the outline of the Pieniny and Gorce mountains.🪵

———————————————

There is a swimming pool outside which allows you to be completely in touch with nature. Shaded with trees and bushes – almost hidden among the spreading greenery, it is a quiet and relaxing place to rest in the sun. In the late autumn season, we preferred to choose the indoors option, but this pool is also open in lower temperatures – which means that winter swimming lovers will be able to enjoy their favorite activity there as well.🌿

Would you consider getting yourself “lost in nature” for a few days to recharge your batteries without your phone and electronics here for a few days? 🌳

Thinking of booking a cruise for 2021? 🛳

For a long time I have been trying to find the most affordable way to book cruises. Being a luxurious experience it doesn’t have to mean that we have to overpay it.

So when I found out the agent who has the best deals, I asked him to give you all a possibility to book with us directly 💫

Starting from as little as 299€ for a 7-nights cruise, you can now book your cruise directly through me 😍

All you need to do is to click the link in my bio and go to “book your cruise” 🚢 This will take you to a website where you can browse all of the offers and choose the one you would want to book.

By requesting a pricing for the offer it doesn’t oblige you to book! So you can just see what works for you 🚢

Happy Sailings!!! 🛳

Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, the Roman gate in Puławy used to be one of the entrances to the park. It is very interesting that the defects that can be seen on it (upper side) are not the result of a failure to survive the test of time – the gate was erected as a ruin and the damage was designed on purpose. During the Romantic period, such originality was considered something incredibly artistic.

THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ZALIPIE 💐 Over a hund

THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ZALIPIE 💐

Over a hundred years ago in Zalipie, every house had a wood stove but no chimney. Thus, the smoke would create black marks on both the exterior and interior of the homes. To cover up the marks, the village women would go around painting flowers over the black soot. 🌹

These days, the problem is a thing of the past, but the folk art of Zalipie has become part of the village’s identity, a tradition that they are very proud of. Even in war-time, the flower painting continued, giving the village hope and color in dark times. 🌻

As the years go on, the paintings only get more colorful and more elaborate, with every surface decorated in the village from chicken coops to tree trunks. The artistic expression has broadened out to all village areas and the home, with flowers now painted on furniture, ornaments, and even embroidered on dresses. 🌺

Is it enough for you to put the charming town of Zalipie on your Poland’s bucket list? 🇵🇱
