Genga as a place with famous Frassasi le grotte

I spent 2 months in regione Marche (5 years ago). So, you can imagine that there are probably not many places I´ve never been to. However my friends have found one. It´s called Frassasi le grotte and it´s very famous in Italy.

This is definitely the best cave I´ve visited so far. (last time I visited one cave in Ibiza). Also very popular in region Marche.

Our tickets. You can get some discount as a student.

This is how it looks around.

Lunch time. This is our restaurant. I think one of the best I´ve been to.

Of course, I´m eating pasta.

I don´t like coffee but I´ve tried one in Italy. It´s quite stronge, really. You can imagine how did I look for the rest of this day (speed feelings). It´s because I´m not used to drinking a coffee at all.

This kind of alcohol is very good. Highly recommend it.

What can I say? The nature in region Marche is just beautiful...

City centre of Genga.

We make friends very easily.

Let´s make some trip in the nature.

If you ever visit this region, make a stop here. It´s worth it as you can see. I really like this place.

Porto Recanati as a place where it all started 5 years ago

What started? Probably my passion for traveling. My very first experience abroad ( as an au-pair). And after this I´ve never had enough and I had to travel more and more.

So, let me introduce you a place which means so much for me. This town is called Porto Recenati and it´s located in region Marche (central Italy).

Porto Recanati train station. Very first photo I took 5 years ago in this amazing place.

Me in Porto Recanati 5 years ago.

This is the best beach for me, really. I´ve bought for my friends these Svijany T-shirts in the Czech Republic.

you can see Monte Conero behind us

Beach shopping. One for me and one for my mum.

This beach is very nice, isn´t it?

Local colorful houses.

Let´s go to the city centre.

I also love palm trees.

My favourite shopping street.

Me in Porto Recanati this summer. How much have I changed? I think that a lot - good thing? :-)

I´ve been waitng for this nutella ice-cream for long 5 years.

Definitely the best party of this year. I attended some swimming pool party also 5 years ago in the same place.

party in Malibu this June

So, how do you like Porto Recanati? Personally, I love this place very much. I´ve got so many good memories, I´ve made very good friends here and for sure I will be back again.

Ciao, a dopo

Lecce as a place situated in the "heel of the Italian boot"

Hi guys,
first of all I would like to apologize for the delay with my articles.

2 main reasons for the delay are:
- my cat Miky was missing (fortunately we´ve found her after one week of searching)
- I was moving to Prague (Yes, I already have my own room in shared apartment)

Miky is back home and I´m so happy.

Now, I wanna tell you about the rest of my stay in Italy because so far I´ve told you only about 2 cities I´ve been to. It seems like months ago when I was there and it has been only 1 month.

Lecce
Few facts:
- almost 100 000 inhabitants
- if you look at the map of Italy, you will find out that Lecce is situated in the "heel of the Italian boot"
- Lecce is full of architecture - Baroque style


You are entering to the historical part of the city.

local gates

City centre of Lecce is a very historical place.

It was very hot. I think more than 40 degree.

Ok, here is the thing. I love Nutella. And they sell real Nutella as an ice-cream. Am I dreaming??

My favourite little streets.

Local Elementary school.

Lecce is full of history...

Local guy.

This was very funny. The only "normal" meal in Lecce which you can buy in kind of small restaurants around 6 pm is lasagne. No pasta, no pizza, nothing. Just lasagne.

I need something to read while I´m traveling by the train.

Goodbye, Lecce.

I think that Lecce is worth for the visit. There are more tourists in Lecce than in Bari. I love historical cities and Lecce is one of the most historical places I´ve been to.

See you

How was my graduation ceremony

Hello,

today was another very special day for me. My very first graduation in the Czech Republic (Ing.). I couldn´t attend my previous Czech graduation (Bc.) in February 2013 due to my Erasmus in Portugal.

I remember when I was like 13-14 years old, a friend of mine asked me: "Hey, do you wanna study at university one day?" and I said: "What? University? Me??? Never!!!" And look at me today :-)

The summary:
1. graduation- England, University of Huddersfield- BA (Hons)
2. graduation- Czech Republic, Technical University of Liberec- Bc.
3. graduation- Czech Republic, Technical University of Liberec- Ing.

Graduatin ceremony in Huddersfield, England
My first graduation ever.

19.07.2012. It´s hard to believe that it´s already 3 years.

Have you ever seen X-men movie? (I love Marvel comics, you know). Do you remember this guy? His name is Sir Patrick Stewart and he studied at University of Huddersfield. This famous actor is the university’s Chancellor.

he is having a speech to students

I think that University of Huddersfield is one of the best universities in England. I´m very happy that I had this opportunity to study there.

Graduation ceremony in Liberec, Czech Republic
I´m on my way to University. My own mother wouldn´t recognize me.

And here I am. What do you think? How do I look? I like this haircut. It´s my first time like this.

my new dress from boutique in Bari

My father has bought me a huge bunch of flowers. I´ve got one also from my stepfather and grandfather. So, at the end I couldn´t carry it all along other gifts.

So officially my life as a student is over. I´m going to miss it. A lot. However now it´s time also for me to move on. I believe that following chapter (part) of my life is going to be at least equally exciting.

See you

New chapter in my life

Hi guys,

today is a very special day for me. Why? As you probably know 2 weeks ago I finished my university and now my real life (the hard part) is about to start. So, this is a big deal for me. Today was my first day at work. 

I think it´s not a secret where I´m working so I can tell you. I´m working as a project coordinator for The Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants. I´ve told you about this organization already. Do you remember my 3 months of internship in Prague? Yes, it´s the same place. I got a job offer (few months ago and yes, I´m lucky) which I couldn´t refuse. It´s like a dream job for graduates :-)

This photo is taken by professional photographer. You can find it (very soon) on our website along with my job description. So, how do you like it?

source: Grafixon

I don´t usually look like this (ok, almost never). I actually look quite different. Honestly, for me this is a very new thing (change). Normally, I don´t put on make-up. Why?

My reasons are: 

- I don´t like it.

- It takes too much time for me.

- I´m not very good at it.

- When I was a kid, boys always kept saying that I don´t need it. And for some reason I still stick to this opinion.

If you wanna know more about my job, click here. Wish me luck because the beginnings are always hard as you probably know from own experience. You´re still learning many new things and you need to process a lot of information.

See you later

The trulli of Alberobello as an UNESCO world heritage

Ciao a tutii,

this article is going to be about small town called Alberobello. Couple of my Italian friends told me that I have to go there for sure. When I´ve searched on google, it was decided. So, Petra and I made a little trip from Bari to Alberobello by train. We had to go there on Monday, because On Sunday there are no trains to this place (only buses).

Alberobello is famous for its unique architecture. Local houses are called "Trulli". You can find here around 1500 buildings in this particular architectural style.

Here are some facts:
- located in South of Italy, province Bari
- 1,5 h. by train from Bari
- one of the 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Italy
- more than 10 000 inhabitants
- you can see the whole town in like 1 hour

Welcome to Alberobello.

Crema di caffe - my breakfast. Very popular caffe in South of Italy and also very good.

And here we go. Trulli and UNESCO.

I´ve never seen houses like these before. It´s just beautiful, isn´t it?

Me and Trulli.

Would you like to live in a house like this? As for me, probably not. It´s very small inside.

There are more tourists here than in Bari. We were very lucky because in the morning there were only few.

The view of the town.

Local church is very nice. I´ve been also inside.

Of course there are also "normal" houses in Alberobello.

And one last photo of me. I really like this place.

dress from small boutique in Barcelona, snickers by Ralph Lauren+handbag by TH+sunglasses by Oscar de la Renta, all from the U.S.

If you ever go to South of Italy, I highly recommend you to visit this place. It takes more or less 1 hour to see everything and it´s really worth it. As you can see from my photos, this place is marvellous.

Arrivederci
