TRAVELS
Travelling is the art of turning the threesome of problems,
hardships and trouble into a comedy.
To learn more about the "old" me, look here.
To learn more about how I became the "new" me, look here.
To learn more about the "future" me, look here.

- Around the World in 99 days with my family
September 5th - December 12th, 2015
A journey of hope to introduce our four year-old daughter to the beauty of this world.
May she see the day when fear will not be the ruler of men's hearts anymore.
I met my Italian husband on my second round-the-world tour, we now have a three and a half year-old daughter. She has gone up to 452 meters in the tallest building of the world Burj Khalifa at 829.8 meters and gone down to -30 meters on a submarine in Mauritius before age two.
I was thinking of doing the Trans-Siberian this year. Eh, having crossed one third of the world, you don't come back the same way. I realized that it is going to be seven years since my last round the world, that my sabbatical year has arrived, so I said “Let's continue since we started.”
And off we set on a round the world tour as a family this time. Naturally, it was a more easy-going and comfortable trip due to my daughter, a planned and comparably short one due to my husband's job and not having much time.
Around the world in 99 days.
I wanted my daughter to have travelled around the world before the age of four. And she did.
I don't know if I should be jealous!
