hi! I’m Maja
I share my thoughts on stuff, things that inspire me and some of my memories that might as well inspire you. Hope you have a great stay!

If there’s any blog post written in 2020 that doesn’t start with something about the global pandemic… well, it wasn’t written in 2020. I’ll only say this - we had very different plans for this year (didn’t everyone?!). I kicked it off all excited about all the plans we had (just see this)… and then none of it happened.
When people asked us why do we want to travel to Georgia so much, one of our answers was: the food. True, Georgian cuisine might not be very known to the rest of the world but in Poland you can get it quite a lot and boy, is it good! So no, it wan’t the first time for us trying Georgian food but the truth is, none of our previous experiences can even compare to what we’ve had a chance to taste during our trip.
Georgia was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Everything we imagined and more. The people, the landscape, the food (oh, the food!), the wine. Our dream journey come true. There'll be a lot more details about our trip coming soon but for now I just wanted you to enjoy with me the unbelievable colours of fall in the Caucasus Mountains.
Aka the craziest, most spontaneous, unbelievable and definitely the cheapest trip to date. But how did that happen? As I remember it , there wasn't really a plan for that. There was a slightly bored me in the middle of my gap year (between high school and university) scrolling through Fly4Free looking for an inspiration for the next trip.
I don’t really have good memories from Morocco. I guess I was just too young, too naive and too idealistic to travel there by myself but the fact is that the reality hit me hard. I ended up with wrong people, was completely disregarded and disrespected as a woman, as a European, as an atheist, even as a vegetarian I was at the time.

I can’t remember last time I was so impressed with just how beautiful a city is (perhaps the first time I visited Paris years ago). I know we got lucky with the weather (almost no rain and beautiful sunshine for the whole weekend) and did choose a charming season to visit (full spring = the city covered in blossoms and very little tourists), but I do believe you will be as impressed no matter when you visit.
Coming back from our trip to Cuba (you can read all about it here), we had a chance to stop for one day in Mexico City. It was a conscious choice and I couldn’t be more excited about it (Thomas needed some convicts though…). Verdict? We can’t wait to plan another and this time longer trip to Mexico!
We didn’t travel much last year. Well, we knew we would be moving countries towards the end of the year and that needed some extra savings. This time has passed now (fortunately) and we’re successfully and happily moved to London (the best decision we could have made!), so the travelling bug is kicking in strong again.
