Explore The World

Hello :)

Today is a special post about this blog and what this blog gave me.
So, I knew that the blog about different places in the world will be a good idea. Why? Because there are so many countries worth to see and I will always have something to describe. What is very important, I knew that thanks to that I will have a motivation to search for some information about places I would like to visit one day. And it worked out. Thanks to this blog I have learnt a lot about some monuments, symbols, wildlife, culture and many others. And I hope that somebody of you could also find something interesting here. 😉
Thank you for visiting this site! And I know that there are some people who read it :)
All the best for you! Travel if you have a possibility to do this! Because life is short and the world is full of wonderful places.

All the best for you,

Hawaii - part 3

Hello!

What's up?
Today's last part of Hawaii's description. So don't waste the time!

Papakolea Beach (Mahana Beach), Green Sand Beach


Last time I was writing about black beaches. This time I will tell you about green beaches, it means, Green Sand Beach, situated on the south side of Hawaii. What is more, in this sand you can find semi-precious stones which are light, yellow, green, emerald, brown or olive.

Regional cuisine

Hawaii's cuisine brings to mind fish, salmon, tuna, pineapple and bananas. But this cuisine has so much more tastes to offer.
"Poke" is a raw tuna served with various additives, just like fruits, vegetables, nuts or onion. This is a special dish because it can be prepared it many ways and everyone can choose something for himself.

To sum up, Hawaii seems to be a paradise, palm trees, waterfalls, crystal clear water, orchids or green forests with ferns. Maybe it is a paradise on earth? I hope to learn the hard way. ☀

Hawaii - part 2

Hi,

I'm going to continue the topic I've started last time. I really like it, it's good to fall into a reverie 😉 Let's get carried away by dreams.

Mauna Kea 

Wanna see snow on Hawaii? You can't miss Mauna Kea! It's the highest volcano on Hawaii and one of the biggest in the world. On its peak there is a famous astronomical observatory, visited by astronomers from all corners of the world.

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

Diamond Head, Honolulu

Near to the Waikiki Beach hiking lovers will find something interesting as well. Extinct cone is situated on O'ahu island. From the peak we can admire an amazing view at Waikiki Beach. Visiting O'ahu island you can see black beaches, for example, Punalu's Beach. The sand is dark because it's composed of volcanic dusts and ashes.

Hawaii

Hello!

I miss sun and holidays so I thought about Hawaii! I think this little "trip" will make you feel better :)

Hawaii is the youngest state of US, from 1959. It the only one state located in Oceania (on Pacific Ocean) and outside North America. The capital city of Hawaii is Honolulu on the island of O'ahu. This archipelago has a diverse natural scenery, and warm tropical climate. There are also active volcanos. Below I would like to present you the best places and activities to do on Hawaii!

Surfing & paddle board

It's a perfect place for those who love surfing and other water sports. Surfing is definitely the most popular water sport on Hawaii. Even if you are nor a surfer, it's a great place to begin with a coach. If surfing seems to be too difficult for you, you can choose paddle board. But what is swimming on paddle board? It means swimming with a paddle standing on a board 😀 It's easier than surfing and for sure it's something new.

Snorkelling with dolphins

It sounds like something unbelievable what can happen only in a movie. But everything is possible on Hawaii! 🐬🐬🐬 You can dive with them in their natural environment. You can do it on a trip organised by an agency, what can cost a lot, but you can also dive for free with a paddle, board and diving equipment on island called Captain Cook. What is more, you can admire there a lot of species of colorful fish and corals.

That all for today but it's not the end. To be continued next time.

What's next

Hello everybody 😊

What's up?
I think about noteworthy places I could describe here. I have a lot of ideas but not much time to do this. I think I will continue with US but which state would be the most interesting? I can't decide. I wonder that one day I will have a possibility to go there and visit NYC or my favourite California. And which state is the most interesting for you? Which state is the most impressive, breathtaking, your number one to see in USA? And which place in the world is your goal? Maybe you could inspire me. I choose places which are attractive for me but, of course, I'm not able to describe everything. The world is full of amazing countries, regions, monuments, wildlife and many others. But also there is so many undiscovered places, that's for sure. I would like to know which place in the world you like the most, so please leave a comment below! 😊

See you soon, with new attractions!

New York - part 5

Hi!

How are you? Hope everything is fine.

Today's next part of NYC's description. More places and more attractions in this last part. So, let's continue!

New York Public Library


Impressive building with big stairs where many people take photos with Bryant Park at the back of the library. Those stairs are really popular because of its appearance and lions made of stone. Tourists can even go inside (for free) and, choose and read some old books, or, just use the free Wi-Fi.

Statue of Liberty


In the end, finally, the biggest attraction in NYC - a Statue of Liberty. Number one to see there. Millions visitor every year. To be in NYC without seeing this statue is like being in Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. A Liberty Enlightening the World. A colossal sculpture from XIX century on Liberty Island Manhattan . It's a gift from France, designed by Barthodi and even G. Eiffel! The statue presents a robed woman who is a symbol of Libertas, a Roman liberty goddess. Height of copper statue counts 46 meters, from the ground to torch the statue has 93 meters.

New York - part 4

Hello!

Happy New Year for You! Hope you are doing well.
Today's next part of New York City's description. I have prepared some more things to present you. So, let's go!

Rockefeller Center

It is a vast entertainment situated in the middle of Manhattan with a shopping complex. It's home to NBC-TV, radio and other media. What is interesting, there is an Art Deco skyscraper with a great views over New York City, especially Manhattan. The highest place on this skyscraper is called Top of The Rock Observation Deck which includes three floors.When it's Christmas Time, on Rockefeller Center we can admire a huge and lit up Christmas Tree every single year.


Rockefeller Center



Empire State Building

The 381-meter-tall, 102-story in the middle of Manhattan Art Deco skyscraper, with unforgettable views. For many years it was the tallest building in New York. Your visit will not be completed without seeing this. This spectacular landmark is one of the most popular view in the world. There are two observatories. When the weather is favourable, you can see up to 80 miles, you can even see a neighboring states, like New Jersey or Massachussets.


Empire State Building

Broadway 

Broadway and the Broadway Theater is one of the most popular street in New York City. Shows which  take place on Broadway are a must-see in NYC. To see one of those shows, we should buy a ticket in advance.
What is more, there is a Shubert Alley, popular alley only for pedestrians in the Theter District. In the past, young actors were walking there to look for a possibility to play. Some of them debutem on this street. And, of course, S.Shubert played there more than 6 thousand shows.

New York - part 3

 Hello again!  😊


What's up? I hope you had a happy Christmas time ;) It was very difficult to find some time to post something new but now, after Christmas, I am ready to continue. 😊 So, let's go!

Grand Central

An amazing railway station, one of the most impressive I think. Mostly, it is the first you will see when you will arrive to New York City. There you can feel like you're participating in some movie. Moreover, on this railway station a lot of movies were recorded. But it's not just a railway station, there is also a shopping centre and it's a perfect place for some meetings.

Nowy-Jork-Grand-Central


New York - Roosevelt Island Tram

 It's a very untypical tram on Roosevelt Island - a small island on East River. We can get there by "airtram" which is an attraction for tourists as well, biggest than this island, with a great view form the window of this hanging gondola, especially at night.

Nowy-Jork-Kolejka



Wall Street

A very popular business quarter in New York City with impressive skyscrapers. The heart of economic system of all the world. A stock exchange on Wall Street with a giant american flag became one of the most recognisable symbol of New York City. This place is incessantly crowded by tourists and elegant businessmen.

New York - part 2

Hello again!

How are you? Hope you're doing well. Today is a time for New York City's attractions. I think everyone knows most of them, but maybe you will learn something new 😊

Museums of Art


There are a few museum of art, just like Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art or Guggenheim Museum. The first one is the most significant museum in the world, often called "Met". This museum has about 2 millions of exhibits documenting the history, culture and art of all the world. We can admire many works created by Rembrandt, Rafael, van Gogh or Monet. Museum of Modern Art, known as MoMA, is one of the most prestigious collection of modern art. Guggenheim Museum has many works from XX century and, of course, modern art.  The building of this museum is very impressive - it's a work of art designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

High Line

Oasis situated on the west side of Manhattan. This elevated linear public park is an exciting attraction in NYC. There is a variety of plants and trees with glass railings what gives a natural feel. Moreover, there's a great view at the city and Hudson River.

St Patrick's Cathedral

I couldn't miss this cathedral because I really like cathedrals like this one - impressive, high, big, in general - Gothic ones. In New York City it's a great example of Gothic Revival. The building was erected in 1879 and renovated in 2016

New York

Hi!

This time I'm writing about the most populous and the greatest city in USA - New York City. A global power city, cultural, financial and media capital of the world, with a significant impact upon entertainment, technology, commerce, education, politics, sports and research. That's a lot of "the most" I think. New York city is also famous of many great places, just like Empire State Building, Central Park, Brooklyn, Rockefeller Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, High Line, Wall Street or, of course, a Statue of Liberty.

But what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think "New York"? For me the answer is obvious but it doesn't have to be the same things for everyone. So, New York brings to my mind, first of all, yellow taxis in the crowded street, traffic jams between very modern skyscrapers, people who are always in a hurry, running to work with a cup of coffee in their hand, additionally very well-dressed and stylish. New York brings to my mind also Central Park with people jogging or doing some different sport, as we can see in many movies shooted in New York. I can't forget about billboards which we can see anywhere in New York City, I think, and which gives a lot of light, especially when it comes to Times Square.
What is interesting, at Times Square was the first solar powered billboard which you can see below:

solar-energy-billboard-by-Ricoh.jpg

And what New York City brings to your mind up first? I'm waiting for your comments :)

Next time I will describe some of the biggest New York City's attractions 😊

See you soon,

Colorado & Arizona

Hello!

As you see, I will be writing about Colorado&Arizona this time. Colorado has a diverse geography - mountains, plains, deserts with big sand dunes and deep canyons. Because of that, the climate in more complex it this state. I think it is a perfect place for nature lovers ;) Sometimes  the earthquake occurs there because of its mountainous terrain.

Arizona has an upland terrain and in north part of is a Colorado Plateau the climate in Arizona is dry, tropical and subtropical.. The temperatures are very high. The desert steppes with cactuses  are creating a plant life.

One of the biggest tourist attraction in Arizona is, of course, The Grand Canyon. It's a steep-sided canyon by the Colorado River in Arizona. The Grand Canyon is 446 km long and 29 km wide. This terrain is a Grand Canyon National Park. There are different hypothesis when it comes to the creation of this canyon. The most popular says that it was a very long process who had commenced 17 millions years ago and the canyon was becoming deeper and deeper. There is also a completely different version which says that the canyon was formed in a few days. But the most important is that today we can see an impressive huge canyon in USA!

I think it's the most noteworthy place when it comes to these regions, both very dry and desert. I think it's a great place for those who are passionate about nature.

The most popular inscription in the world

Hi!

Today's next part of California's description. So, let's continue this trip :)

Hollywood

Perfectly visible from the Lee mountain. We can only imagine how 9 white letters can create the most popular place in California where everyone would like to have a photo. In addition, this inscription is visible from almost every place in Beverly Hills. There is also the Avenue of Stars - a pavement with a brass stars with the names of famous and respected people. It's a tourist attraction since 1958.

Los Angeles

Hello!

It's a triptime! This time it's LA - a city of dreams for many people. This is a place where you can live your American Dream :) The best adjectives to describe this place? Undoubtedly luxurious, popular and hot ☀ In Los Angeles lives many artists, especially actors, singers, directors and, of course, celebrities. This place is perfect for holidays - beautiful, hot beaches, palm trees, ocean - sounds perfect, but also very expensive.

                           Venice Beach

Famous Venice Beach is a must-see in LA. The same concerns a pedestrian zone - Ocean Front Walk - a place which is teeming in life, full of music, artists, in general, there's a mix of languages, cultures, races and religions.
And, of course, there is a lot of surfers in LA. Surfing is very popular right there - it's a real California lifestyle.

Hello again!

Hi!

I'm coming back after holidays. It was a good time for me, I've started working in a new place and I've been to Cyprus - I think one of the most beautiful place in the world. I haven't spent there a long time but it was enough to see the charm of that place. I can recommend Cyprus in 100 %. Accurately, I was in Limassol and the main reason why I went there with my family was my cousin's wedding which took place on a pier. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. It was something completely different, different climate, different wedding, different place, different world. The dream world. I wish I was there one more time, maybe not exactly in Limassol because there are another places to see as well, just like Larnaca or Nicosia - I've described those places a few months ago so you can find that post and read about Cyprus :)

When it comes to my blog, I'm going to continue California's description and many other noteworthy places in America.

See you!

California

Hello everyone!

As I said last time, I'm going to describe my favourite states in North America. The best place for me is California - sunny and hot place by the ocean is a dream. In general, California is the most populous state in US. There are two the biggest cities - San Francisco and Los Angeles. Today I'll write a little about San Francisco. So, let's start!


Alcatraz

One of the most famous prisons in the world with a strict discipline. Since years it's one of the most popular touristic attractions. The prison was active between 1934 and 1963. Reportedly, it is said that  nobody escaped from there. Officially, it is said that 14 people escaped.



Golden Gate Bridge


It's a suspension bridge, one-mile-wide and one-point-seven-mile-long channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It's very recognized symbol of San Francisco. It is said that it is "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed bridge in the world". It's very impressive for me, I would love to see that bridge.



Chinatown

The oldest Chinatown is in North America and the largest outside Asia. It's an enclave that reflect a chinese history and culture. There are two hospitals, parks, squares and many others.




That's all for today, I'll continue soon.

See you!

Different direction

Hello!

Lately I've realised that I'm writing a lot about Europe. I thought - it's time to change it. Of course, not forever, but now it's time to "go" somewhere else :) And I have a new idea - I'll write about America! South and North America are both beautiful and noteworthy. Especially, I would like to see California, but it's not the only one state which I'm going to describe. :) There's a lot of places which I would like to post here, particularly in North America. When it comes to South America, I've already written about Brazil. I think I've described all places in Europe which I like the most,I know that there is many other amazing countries, but I'm not able to describe every charming place. That's because the world is full of beauty, there are always some places to discover and explore. When I'm writing about different countries, it's also a motivation for me to learn more about the world, to find more amazing cities, mountains or bays and many, many others. I'm very happy about that I've chosen writing about travelling because it's a never-ending topic.
I hope it's also interesting for you, just a little bit :)
So, next time we're starting America's tour!

See you!

Croatia - part 3

Hello everyone!

What's up? Hope you're fine. Today I'll finish a Croatia's description. Hope it's interesting for you :) So, let's go!

Pula

We're back to Istria - on the South side. It's the biggest city on this island, a perfect place for mediaval Old Town lovers. in Pula you can see the most spectacular Roman monuments. Formerly, it was one of the most important metropolis by the Adriatic.
The amphitheatre has survived and today it's a third the best extant monument of its type. A huge building made of marble makes an enormous impression on tourists. 


Split

Split is the second biggest city in Croatia. The biggest attraction in Split are ruins of a gigantic imperial palace. The decond noteworthy monument is a characteristic cathedral guerded by sphinx and lions.


Mljet

Mljet is an island situated between Dubrovnik and Korcula. It's one of the most green islands by the Adriatic. This island was announced a National Park.


Paklenica National Park

For most of tourists Croatia - it's just a sea and Dubrovnik. It's also a country with amazing mountains, maybe not very high, but very picturesque. Paklenica with two krast canyons is one of the best places like this which you can see in Croatia.
Velka Paklenica is 14km long and next is a shorter one - Mala Paklenica. 
In this National Park we won't find a crowd of tourists. I think it's an advantage of this place, thanks to that it's more unique and worth to see.




Makarska

In the end, Makarska - situated by the sea. There is no Roman or medieval monuments, there is no Old Town. There is so much more tourists who just want to spend time at the beach and sunbathe.
There is the sea and the mountains (called Biokovo) in one place. A perfect place to sit under palm trees or take a walk and relax.






That's all about Croatia. I hope it will be interesting for you. Now I have to think about another place. 

See you next time!
