2013 is almost over and it’s time to review this year. Some of my achievements during traveling this year:
And that’s not it.. I could write so many more things to this list!
Well I must admit this year seems to be once again the best year I’ve had so far! Let’s see if it’s possible to beat it next year 😉
And now a small review about my favorite travel destinations this year:
1) China!!! – July-October 2013
Nothing can beat China! So far the very best country for traveling! Full of adventures, unexpectable situations, mysterious culture and wonders.
Chinese people are sincere, they are not after your money (like vietnamese) and it’s just incredible how helpful and friendly they are. Besides that it’s easy to travel in China once you know your way around there, it’s also cheap and seems like there are so many amazing places that you could travel there forever. Oh and of course food!!! Delicious! And the best of China are definitely PANDAS! (L)
2) Hong Kong – October 2013
Hong Kong has it all and a bit more <- that’s damn true. Skyscrapers, fancy shops and clubs, cool architecture, delicious food, fishing villages, mountains, beaches and much more. It’s full of diversity! I really enjoyed seeing how west and east meet in Hong Kong, really an amazing place!
3) Vietnam – October-November 2013
Vietnam is definitely the most touristic country where I’ve ever been but nevertheless it’s a wonderful country with a long coastline, jungles, mountains, rice fields and wonderful food. It’s a total paradise for backpackers thanks to cheap prices. My favorite places in Vietnam were probably Halong Bay, Mui Ne and kitesurfing, Nha Trang with crazy nightlife and diving. But unfortunately I have to admit that this country could never be my favorite place in Asia because of the locals. It’s so true that it’s full of locals who want to sell you stuff absolutely everywhere and they are mainly friendly only if you buy something from them.
4) Thailand – November 2013
Yet another Asian country full of tourists. Once again cheap and easy for backpackers to travel there but you could never have as crazy and unexpected situations as in China. But on the other hand Thailand has amazingly beautiful beaches and great opportunities for diving.
5) Les Deux Alpes, France – March 2013
Snowboarders and skiers paradise! Alpes are and will always be amazing. Mountains, lots of snow, after-ski bars, sunbathing while snowboarding and of course those incredible views!!!
6) Lisbon, Portugal – January 2013
Lisbon is definitely one of my favorite cities in Europe. The city is built next to the coastline, streets are cute and narrow, most of the buildings are built on the hillsides where’s really a great views to the city. All in all Architecture, History, Street art, Food, Cheese, Wine and Atmosphere are the main keywords of Lisbon!
7) Singapore – October 2013
I spent only 19hours in Singapore but from what I saw I could say that Marina Bay is really worth seeing, Little India is a perfect place for shopping and eating and Singapore is really alive at nights.
It’s most probably my last post this year… so have a great New Years Eve everybody and thanks for following me :))
Long time no see! It’s time to continue writing about my adventures in Asia 🙂
After saying goodbye to Igotochina mates, and chilling in Guangzhou for few days with Lagle, I finally arrived to Hong Kong boarder by train. Met Tony there, crossed this little boarder without problems and took MTR to Kowloon and then taxi to Lise’s place next to the Happy Valley.
So there it was .. my very first couch-surfing experience! Lise was waiting for me with homemade pies and as soon as I arrived we started tripping to Shek O Beach for a beach bbq party. I was so shocked at this moment.. first we took a double- decked tram then MTR(metro) and in the end double-decked bus. We sat up in the front and oh my… I felt like in Harry Potter movie or something, bus drove super fast between the mountains on very twisty roads. It felt so unrealistic but finally after 2hours tripping we arrived to Shek O Beach.
I was totally blown away by this magical place! It was the first time I saw sea after 3months in China.. it felt incredible! Warm air, soft sand, sea, mountains around and people grilling and chilling everywhere with good music 🙂 oh damn, such a paradise!
The bbq party we went to was actually a birthday party and it rocked! It was really multicultural, I met with so many cool people who told me a lot about Hong Kong, their cultures etc. After a while Tony also joined us and we enjoyed good food, music, atmosphere and awesome ppl.
After the midnight we went to the centre and wow that’s a real party paradise. We just chilled there and enjoyed this cool night. Seriously the first night in Hong Kong couldn’t have been more amazing! And everything thanks to my super cool host Lise 🙂

Hey hey! I haven’t been writing for a while because traveling got suddenly super busy. Last week has been a lot of fun! I visited Guangzhou as my last destination in China, then went to Hong Kong for few days where I couch surfed first time in my life.. but I’ll write a bit more about in the next post, from Hong Kong I flew to Singapore for 19h what was one hell of a good decision and today I arrived Hanoi 🙂
So I’ve visited 4countries with one week.. I guess it’s my personal record. Anyways I’ll post some beautiful pictures of Canton Tower (600m)! It shines in the middle of Guangzhou and the view from up there is just incredible! Ticket price is totally worth going up there when it’s a clear weather!
