Traveling is an important part of my life. And I have lots of precious moments, which I have experienced while visiting the remarkable places and meeting the incredible people. So, I decided to capture such bright memories and turn them into my blog posts, which I can look back on and share with others. Maybe, one day, these short stories will inspire some people to begin their own truly meaningful and exciting adventures...

London, Pub Food

If you’re looking for a cosy atmosphere and home-cooked food, look no further than a pub. The traditional British food, served in the pubs, is not exactly known for being healthy, but it is definitely more delicious than the food from the fast food restaurants. Moreover, pub grub offers value for money and large portions!

London, In Stonehenge

Stonehenge is considered to be of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe. This massive stone monument is located on a chalky plain north of the modern-day city of Salisbury. 
The biggest of Stonehenge's stones are up to 9 meters tall and weigh 25 tons on average. Honestly, I was not impressed by this place mainly because we were not allowed to get closer and touch the stones.

Picnicking is one of the summertime activities that all British people love to partake in. With its stunning vistas and tranquil green spaces, London is unbeatable for a picnic. And one sunny day our teacher offered us to have  lesson in the nearby square.

London, Bank

The City of London, also known as The City, is London’s financial district, home to the Bank of England and The Stock Exchange. This area is extremely lively during the week, but quiet on the weekend.
Remarkably, the City also retains its medieval street pattern, which you do not find so clearly preserved in other large British city centres. There are many narrow streets, passages and courtyards between the main thoroughfares.
