Travel inspiration #4 - San Diego

It is winter in Vancouver - it is cold, cloudy and rainy. I wish on a day like this I can be to a warm place where the sun is shining. I remember our trip to San Diego two years ago when the weather here in Vancouver was just like today and in San Diego it was 25 C and gorgeously warm and sunny!

I liked San Diego a lot - it is a city that I can see myself living in. It is big but not too big like Los Angeles or San Francisco. We visited most of the famous tourist spots - The Zoo, Balboa Park, Point Loma, La Jolla, Coronado Island. I was very impressed by the the Zoo - they had animals that I have never seen before - koalas, pandas, polar bears.

Travel inspiration # 2 - Poland

This summer I visited Poland for the second time. A friend of mine was getting married and I was so exited for her that I couldn't miss this wonderful occasion. It's not like I was a regular tourist, I was a wedding tourist.  I visited some places that you don't usually visit. The wedding was in a castle near Poznan called Krzeslice. It took us five hours by bus to reach it but it was worth every second of it. The castle and the village were so charming. Walking inside the castle you could feel the history and the authenticity. They had many different rooms decorated very lavishly in different colors. The wedding was outside in the castle's garden and it was really a wonderful place to get married!

So beautiful!

This was another breakfast room

I took this sepia color pictures and I think it looks old, like it was taken 50 years ago. The only thing that is missing is a ghost!

I also visited Poznan - I just love this city's architecture!

The fountain of Apollo

The Jesiut Temple

The Old Market Square

I enjoyed my time in Poland and I am so happy that I visited this beautiful country again (I don't usually go to the same place twice, there is so much more to see around the world).

Travel inspiration # 1 - Brazil

Probably you are wondering where was this picture taken? It is from Brazil. I haven't been there yet but this is one of the destinations on my wishlist. I made this picture a background because it is so inspiring to me and just looking at it makes me want to go to Brazil right now! Realistically it won't happen that soon but I thought it will be nice to have it as a background and to remind me that I want to go there...
