Take a Walk Along Patara Beach in Turkey

Known as one of the longest beach in the Mediterranean with its 18 km long beach trail, it’s left unspoiled and beautiful. Giving each and every tourist a picturesque scene, not only that but the beach itself has soft sand and the water is quite shallow. One of many known tourist destinations, but surprisingly it’s never crowded.

No kind of heavy development is allowed so it remains preserved and protected. This is the best beach for those who long for a great tan, due to the fact that there are only a handful of trees; the shade is scarce. So yeah, get ready for a tan whether you like it or not.

Take in Lake Bled’s Fairy Tale Scene in Slovenia

Destinations/Europe

People who don’t believe in fairy tales have obviously never heard of Lake Bled. With just one look you get the impression of myths, magic, royalty and other surreal ideas. Just head towards the Julian Alps, northwest of Slovenia to experience a popular and otherworldly tour.

One of the most fascinating sight in this tourist destination is the small and peaceful island in the middle of Lake Bled called Bled Island. At first sight, that island might seem a little lonely and sad, but it actually isn’t. A church was built during the end of the 17th century, it was dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and it had Gothic frescos and Baroque equipment. Presently, weddings can be held here and it happens quite regularly. It’s even considered good luck for the groom if he carries the bride all the way up through the 98 stone steps that leads to the top.

Skydiving in Czech Republic

Adventure Travel/DIY Itineraries/Travel Tips

One of my greatest challenges to myself is to do Skydiving. I did bungee jumping before, so this year, I took the challenge. I skydived in my 27th Birthday!

I booked my sky diving at Skycentrum, you can contact them through Veronika (fiserova.veronika@post.cz) – She’s the nicest ever! I paid 5620 KC (213 Euros) which includes Tandem jump + USB HD Video and Photos, and RT transfers.

The jump took place in Pribram airport, an hour away from Prague. The shuttle will take you there, as soon as you arrive in the place, you’ll see the amazing crew. First, you will be asked to wear the jump suit, get short training or should I say rules to follow when jumping. You have nothing to be scared off, all the crew are professional.

Short Trip to Salzburg and Hallstatt Austria

Budget Travel/DIY Itineraries

Are you a huge fanatic of Sound of Music? Then, Salzburg Austria is your best destination. I’m a great fanatic of the 1950’s musical, lead by Von Trapp Family Singer. From Prague, I packed my backpack and head to Salzburg. The cheapest way to get to Salzburg is via Munich, book a ticket to flixbus, and present the QR code to the bus driver. I booked my 1 night accomodation at Hotel Vuona Vita via booking.com for 69 euros – This is the cheapest I got which is good for 2 persons. I suggest to book it ahead so it won’t cost you much.

It’s easy to get around Salzburg, you can take the bus to get to the Mirabelle Garden. You must not miss this lovely place!

I love to travel, 8 months in the year I’m traveling, but when it comes to packing the luggage and maintaining other things I’m quite a lazy person in those things.

Are you also like me? People like me get woozy when we hear the word “try” or “effort”, if you are also like me then don’t worry. In fact welcome to the club, being a lazy traveler I followed a few tips which actually helped me a lot. So here I am sharing those tips with you, though it will seem to you that you have heard these tips before, but honestly try them the way I do and you will enjoy your tour.

Know The Language
Being a frequent traveler I have visited many places and I understand how tough it gets when you don’t know how to communicate in the local language and English is not spoken commonly. So here is what I do mostly, I download a “common phrases language app” and try to learn those common phrases of the country I’m visiting. Sounds like too much work for you? Ok if that’s the case then do this speak in English, since its universal language you’re bound to find a person who will understand you.
