CALLING ALL THE WOMEN WHO DREAM ABOUT GOING TO ITALY! 🇮🇹

👉 Is that you?
👉 Or do you know someone who fits that profile?

I'm creating a new service to help women like you turn that Italian dream into a reality.

But to do that in a meaningful way, to create something valuable, I'd really need your input!

So right now, I'm looking to speak to those who:

👉 have been dreaming about going to Italy for a while now and
👉 who really want to make it happen in the next few months (or a year max).

ARE YOU IN?

In return for your time, I'd be more than happy to offer you a free 30-mins session to help you plan your dream trip to Italy to fit your personality and your specific needs.

Sounds good? Leave a comment below or send me a message and we'll take it from there.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😍

Love,

Jana

Are you ready for Halloween?

Sharing with you probably the scariest costume I've seen so far!!! 😱✈️🎃👻

18/10/2019

It's October 18 today. In terms of travel planning, that means 2019 is almost over 😲. Crazy, I know.

So how about a little recap of where you've travelled to this year?

Personally, I went a little over the top this year, I admit. I explored:

🇸🇰 Slovakia (my current base)
🇦🇹 Austria
🇭🇺 Hungary
🇮🇪 Republic of Ireland
🇬🇧 Northern Ireland
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇬🇷 Greece (twice)
🇳🇱 The Netherlands (going in November)

Now I know that's a lot of countries, even by my standards.

So how about setting a goal of visiting one new country per year instead? Does that sound a bit more doable?

And actually, only two of the countries from the above list were completely new to me.

🕵️‍♂️Can you guess which two? 🕵️‍♂️

GUESS WHERE!

This photo (of me) was taken in the most beautiful city I visited this year.

Can you guess the name of the city?

A. An exciting new place you've never been to before
B. The perfect weather
C. Friends to visit
D. Other

HOW MUCH TRAVEL IS TOO MUCH TRAVEL❓

Let's be honest: Is there even such a thing as "too much travel"?!

Considering my current travel schedule, I'd say no. What travel schedule? Feel free to check out more about that here:

LET'S TALK SOUVENIRS!

There's something nice about bringing something small from your travels, right? Little reminders of the experiences you've just had. 😍

What souvenirs do you usually bring back with you? Tell us/show us in the comments! 👇

Me?

📸 Lots and lots of pictures!

🍁 Small reminders of the adventures I've had during my travels - a sea shell, a pine cone...

🥨 Food or drinks! Tea, olives, figs, you name it.

☕️ Something to use around the house, most often in the kitchen - the Italian coffee maker would be a great example here.

WHAT DO YOU USUALLY BRING BACK WITH YOU?

Travel 🌏 + Airports ✈️ + Coffee ☕️

They go hand in hand. For me, at least.

If I have extra time at the airport, I like to use it to sit down for a coffee.

It's usually a pleasant experience. Not always.

🎮 Who got to LEVEL TWO? 🕹

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then check my Wednesday's post first. https://www.facebook.com/307980336563337/photos/a.307983413229696/383606649000705/?type=3&theater

But to give you a hint, this game is all about learning the Greek alphabet! Are you up for the challenge? (You can still catch up with level 1 quest today and if you found that easy, proceed to the level 2 straight away.)

Your quest for today is to decipher the two signs below!

I've visited both of these cities last Saturday, got to breathe the fresh air of Greek countryside on the way there, explored the Greek ancient and not so ancient history in two fabulous museums, got introduced to proper Greek dining by a local ('sharing' is the word when it comes to Greek dining) and just had an amazing day overall!

So, where did I go?

(Tell me in a message, or else you'll spoil the game for others.)

25/09/2019

Let's play! 🎮

A couple of days ago, I've shared with you I'm learning the Greek alphabet. And I promised I'll share with you how it's going...

It's going GREAT! I'm actually able to read most of the signs around the city now and even though being able to do so sounds really elementary, I'm incredibly thrilled at being able to do that after just a couple of days! (Big win! 💪)

So to encourage you to learn something new today as well, I have a quest for you: read the sign below and find out which Greek city I'm visiting right now.

To keep the play interesting for others as well, please, instead of saying the city's name in the comments below, do send me a message instead. Deal?

Once you get to the second level of this game, you'll be asked to decipher the names of 2 more cities I've visited in the last few days as well.

THE GAME IS ON!

Planning your trip to Greece? You might want to add learning GREEK ALPHABET to your travel planning!

I arrived in Greece 2 days ago and found reading the signposts here incredibly challenging!

So, albeit with a bit of a delay, learning the Greek alphabet is what I'm focusing on today! I've memorised the first line this morning and will head to the city later this afternoon to do some real-life practice. Will keep you posted on how that went. 😊

Have you noticed paying attention in your secondary school's Math classes comes VERY HANDY when learning the alphabet of ancient Greeks? Who knew? 👩‍🎓

Don't you just love the change of seasons? Spring is the perfect time to explore Europe.

It's not too cold and not too warm either. The high tourist season hasn't started yet, so this is the perfect time for exploring the most popular cities without wasting your time queuing to enter their main sights.

Which European city is on your list of places to visit?

13/05/2019

Well, hello Monday. Welcome to my office! 🙂

Is working whilst on holiday a big NO for you?

It used to be a big no-no for me too. But ever since I started working remotely, I see that by squeezing in a couple of hours of work every morning, before I start exploring, I am able to take longer holidays much more often!

That's a win-win situation for everyone, right?

How do you go about taking more holidays more often?

Share your tips if you feel like it. :-)

It's Monday & instead of working, I find myself dreaming about my recent Easter holidays.

I went climbing in Italy and Croatia, using just the public transport to get there. Slovakia 🚉 🚌 Austria 🚂 Italy 🚙 Croatia! No ✈ ✈ ✈.

IT'S SO EASY TO GET AROUND EUROPE ONCE IN EUROPE. But perhaps you need some help getting here?

Or maybe you need some encouragement & to talk through your worries with someone?

I can help with both!

Simply book a free 30-min audit call to find out how prepared are you. You might discover you are closer to your dream than you thought 😍

19/04/2019

Easter break is upon us.. How are you spending yours?

For me it's just another excuse to travel. Croatia bound this time 😍

Can't wait!

Just noticed THIS on an empty box of tea and my wanderlust is on! 🗺

Small things such as these can trigger a travel yearning in me. What triggers you?

Is it the desire to see the place that tea comes from?

The desire to feel on your own skin the sun that nourished its growth?

The desire to hear, feel and touch the past and the present of that place?

We all have different motivations to travel. WHAT'S YOURS?
