5 am. Passionate babbling brutally brings my deep autumn sleep to an early end. Woof, woof, meow, meow, mooo – my little bundle of joy is revealing his impressive repertoire of animal sounds, mind you, acquired not without effort. To add to the show he claps and stomps enthusiastically. I raise one of my stoneContinue reading “From a diary of a working mum of one year old”

Dubai – skyscrapers in the middle of the desert
On New Year’s Day 2015 we arrived in Dubai from Sydney. It was middle of the night, we were exhausted from long flight and almost a month of travelling, and we entered this last phase of our trip with a mixture of relief, as it was going to be purely about chilling and resting, butContinue reading “Dubai – skyscrapers in the middle of the desert”
Australia: Darwin and Kakadu National Park
Outback and Northern Territory were the last stops on our Australian journey.

Australia: Queensland and tropical Cairns

Is Malta good choice for family holiday?
This time for spring half term we decided to go to Malta. I haven’t quite mentally recovered yet from our recent flight to Dominican Republic so 3,5 hours on the plane was just what I’d have been able to survive. The weather is really nice in the end of May, with average 28°C it’s perfectContinue reading “Is Malta good choice for family holiday?”
How to survive sightseeing with kids
Our traveling adventures started almost 11 years ago. It’s hard for me to believe that this much time had passed since our first city break in Amsterdam, visiting Rembrandt’s house, and Anna Frank’s house, where she and her family were hiding during the World War II, buying colourful wooden clogs and tulips – the topContinue reading “How to survive sightseeing with kids”
