Travelling is a state of mind / Putovanje je stanje svijesti

Sometimes travelling is a state of mind. You can always play the tourist in the city you happen to live in....as I do often in Split and Mostar. The desire to explore, to see new things, to discover is not something that can be bought. One can always travel....travel in mind, travel in time, travel in your own home town....Never understimate the power of a long walk. It does wonders for one's body and it is just as good for the mind and the soul. 


Ponekad je putovanje stanje svijesti. Uvijek možete glumiti turista u gradu u kojem živite, kao što ja to često činim u Splitu i u Mostaru. Želja za istraživanjem, za viđenjem novog, za okrivanjem je nešto što se ne može kupiti. Uvijek se može putovati, putovati umom, putovati u vremenu, putovati u vlastitom gradu....Nemojte nikad podcjenjivati dugu šetnju. Čini čuda za tijelo i jednako je dobra za um i dušu.

    Absolutely agree - I love exploring the places I call home. There's always something new to experience; some new encounter with place or people. It's part of staying curious and seeing things afresh each day. Love those trousers - perfectly autumnal.

    Čim sam vidjela hlače, pomislila sam da si ih ti doradila. Rezultat je odličan, a navodno je takvo što sad i jako popularno i trendy koliko vidim na IG, svi nešto šaraju po trapericama :) Tvoje su ipak nešto drugo. Sviđa mi se jako kroj i odlično ti stoji.
    Slažem se za šetnje. One su moj ispušni ventil. Iako ih sada baš nemam toliko vremena prakticirati (barem ne sama)... prošli sam tjedan na putu od liječnika, išla pješice cijelim putem do kuće moje mame. Prehodala sam neka tri km i baš mi je trebalo takvo što. Nisam se željela zaustaviti... samo hodaš i hodaš i misliš ili ne misliš... dišeš i živiš punim plućima.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...
