Home exchange
Home Exchange – accomodation almost for free Home Exchange is a great way to save money on a hotel and have accommodation almost for free. You can offer either your own apartment where you live or your vacation property. There are several platforms that offer this service but the most famous is homeexchange.com. I have been thinking about home exchange for a long time and we tried it for the first time during our vacation in the south of Spain in Andalusia, when we received an offer for a very nice apartment right by the sea, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and especially with 2 terraces with a beautiful view…

Portugal – Algarve – 07/2021
Portugal – Algarve with child I was planning to visit Algarve in south Portugal for a long time and we decided to visit it this year in July. There are really many beautiful beaches, beautiful ocean, amazing cliffs, rocky formations and caves. But if you don’t like spending the whole holiday on the beach, you will definitely not be bored either, you can do walks / hikes along the coast, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean, rocks, beaches, etc. So this destination is very interesting even in low season, when in addition there are usually very cheap flight tickets. And during this holiday we bought a beautiful…

Purchase of flat T2 in Funchal In this article, I would like to describe in detail everything about buying an apartment in Madeira – information and various tips about real estate agencies, prices, the rest of the purchase process after arriving in the Czech Republic and in the end I will briefly summarize the whole process.

Madeira Island – 02/2020
Madeira – buying a flat I fell in love with Madeira during my first visit. I have never been tempted to return to the same place. But with Madeira it changed. Madeira is very addictive and for me a strong addiction started during the first visit. So big that we decided to buy an apartment in Madeira. Now, in February, it was not yet a good timing to buy a flat, and the purpose of the visit was just to visit Funchal to make sure we really wanted to buy an apartment there and chat with real estate agents and see some of the apartments. But as it is usually…

Jordan
Jordan without car rental I have been thinking about visiting Jordan for some time already and we thought with my friend that we could take another shorter holiday in autumn. So we have decided to visit Jordan. We booked the tickets about 2 months before the trip, the first day after my return from holiday in Slovenia – ideal timing, good thing that I had again something to look forward to. There is a direct flight with Ryanair from Prague at decent prices, the flight is every Tuesday and Saturday, so we decided to go from Tuesday to Saturday. Ideal would be at least one week but as the end…

Canary Islands – Tenerife
Tenerife – easy hikes for children We decided to go to Tenerife with my 6-year-old son in February (8.2.-15.2.2019) during spring holiday.

Madeira – 06/2018
Madeira by bus I have decided to go to Madeira with my sister in mid-June as this is one of the least rainy months and also we were hoping it might be also a good weather for occasional bathing in the ocean. It was our first journey on our own without travel agency, and since neither of us have a driving license, we decided to travel by bus (well, to be honest, even if I had it, on narrow roads in Madeira I would be afraid of driving anyway). If you are also going to travel on Madeira by bus, you may appreciate some useful advice and tips. At the…
