PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC


Prague is located in the heart of Europe. This is an amazing city combining not only the different cultures past and present but also the East and West in the European point of view. It is so interesting and attracts thousands of tourists all year long.

Just walking on the streets of Prague you can hear almost every language spoken. The beautiful buildings and the famous castle and Charles Bridge are always packed with people. It seems like the crowds never stop. All the little shops selling crystal or just some old communist junk are always full with customers or window shoppers ;-)!

I loved walking there and being able to get lost in beautiful culture that surrounds me. The Czech’s have a saying that roughly translates: Who is Czech he is a musician! There are hundreds of little pubs concert halls or just open air stages for music performances. The music rules the city.

This is just a little preview of what Prague really is. You should go there and see it yourself. There is nothing like the real thing!

MOSTAR, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

The next city close to my hart is Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a city challenged during the war but still full with charm. I spent there few years and I enjoyed them so much! Wonderful people live there, people from both sides of the river and the different sides of a conflict. Despite that in my mind stayed only the good memories. Laughter, walking around the city making history in a crazy time. I wish I can go back there soon and walk on its streets and see familiar faces and friends. I want to cross for the first time in my life the Old Bridge that is now restored as it was for hundreds of years. I want to have "chevapi" and all other full loaded cholesterol food ;-)! Mostar is the pearl of Herzegovina and you should also plan a trip there seeing the great color of Neretva River.
