Beautiful bays and fabulous coastline, extensive sand dunes, and caves with glowworms, and the place where the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea clash. It’s Far North of New Zealand. And here are 5 places that we think are really worth seeing there!

Poor man’s Galapagos – Paracas National Reserve and Islas Ballestas
Who wouldn’t like to see the unique Galapagos Islands? Beautiful, wild, with a plethora of endemic species of flora and fauna. We’d love to visit them! But when traveling through Peru we found a place called “Little Galapagos” or “Poor man’s Galapagos”. It’s Paracas National Reserve and Islas Ballestas.
Hiking the Colca Canyon
Majestic condors, breathtaking scenery and one of the most exhausting trails we hiked so far. These brief words are the best description of Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world.
Not only National Parks, or… few days we spent in Arizona
While traveling through US we rented a car for two weeks. At the time, we drove 5000 km, visited the amazing National Parks and a few other places that definitely deserve to be called exceptional. Stay with us for a moment in Arizona and see Monument Valley, Sedona, Page and Antelope Canyon and a fragment […]
In Arches, Canyonlands and Grand Canyon National Parks
Somewhere at the end of the first week, David said: “Every time I think that nothing can surprise me, we enter the next National Park and my jaw drops again…”. That one sentence perfectly describes our impressions on National Parks – each park is different and cannot be compared to any other. Today we invite […]
In Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks
During our stay in Reno, Bill asked us which National Parks are we planning to see. We said: Yosemite, Death Valley, Sequoias, Grand Canyon… “Are you going to Zion and Bryce? Because Zion made much greater impression on me than the Grand Canyon.” We looked at the map – it’s not that far so we […]
In Yosemite, Sequoia and Death Valley National Parks
Interesting and lively cities are just one of many amazing faces of US. During our stay there we couldn’t skip exceptionally rich and diverse wildlife. Therefore, at the end of our stay in San Francisco, we rented a car and went on a two-week journey through four states, to admire the beauty of nature. Today […]
South-East Europe roadtrip: Stop #7 – Bratislava
The idea for visiting Bratislava showed up in our minds, when we where going with a bus to see Krka river in Croatia. It was one of the last days of our road trip through South-East Europe and we had only Plitvice Lakes to see. From there to Poznan would be over 12 hours ride […]
South-East Europe roadtrip: Stop #6 – Krka and Plitvice Lakes
Croatia is not only about impressive historical cities, phenomenal beaches or viewpoints from which you can admire the picturesque views. Croatia has also unique and very rich nature. Therefore after visiting some of the most beautiful Dalmatian cities, we went to see two very famous Croatian National Parks: Krka and Plitvice Lakes.
South-East Europe roadtrip: Stop #5 – Split
After Dubrovnik our next stop was Split. The fastest way to get from south Croatia to the north is to go by highway. But we decided to go with a road that has much better views – coastal road nr 8.
