Start exploring my road trips
Africa
South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ
When it gets to South Africa, many tourists follow the well-known path to Kruger Park or drive down the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth (now named Gqeberha) to Cape Town.
How about exploring something different? Let me introduce you to some of the most amazing places in the Eastern Cape and provide you with ideas for adventure road trip.
Safari Road trip: South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ & Namibia ๐ณ๐ฆ
While living in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a safari road trip to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa and Etosha Pan in Namibia. Join me on the journey to explore the fascinating wildlife.
Europe
Albania ๐ฆ๐ฑ
The idea for the road trip to Albania came from my teenage daughter seeing the country as a destination trending on Instagram. It is the country I would not think about. It turned to be a place that has deeply touched my heart and soul.
Spain ๐ช๐ธ
February is the time when I would normally plan a skiing trip. However, in 2023, we decided to try something different and escape the winter in Prague. Our choice was doing a road trip to Spain, Andalusia.
Portugal ๐ต๐น
Every February, I face the same dilemma: should I hit the slopes for a skiing adventure or try to escape to a country with a milder climate? In 2024, I’ve chosen to embark on a Portugal road trip. Despite its climate being influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, it has proven to be the perfect decision.
Balkan countries ๐ท๐ธ๐ฒ๐ช๐ญ๐ท & Hungary ๐ญ๐บ
I enjoy traveling to the Balkan countries. For me, it’s all about the people, culture, and natural beauty that keep drawing me back. Living in the Czech Republic, the easiest way to reach the Balkans is by driving through Hungary, where I spent several years.

Balkan countries II: ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ท๐ง๐ฆ
Upon returning from the road trip to Albania in 2023, I instantly knew that I will do another road trip through Balkan. So I have instantly started to plan a new trip, allowing more time to visit the places I didnโt have time for previously.

Georgia ๐ฌ๐ช
The idea of embarking on a road trip to Georgia came to mind during a late-night layover at Dubai airport. Contemplating which region to explore, the post-Soviet republics captured my attention. Join me on an exciting journey through Georgia as I share our 9-day road trip experience.
Middle East
Jordan ๐ฏ๐ด
As October comes to a close, Europe experiences a drop in temperature, prompting many to seek warmer destinations to extend the summer vibes. Following visits to Dubai and Israel during this period, the road trip to Jordan emerged as the ideal choice. Join me on a 9-day road trip to explore the wonders of Jordan.
Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ
The decision to go on a road trip to Israel arose while searching for an easily accessible and COVID-regulation-free country in 2022. I am pleased that we managed to explore this culturally unique country and I am very hopeful that travel will be possible again shortly.
