Start exploring my road trips


Africa

South Africa ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ & Namibia ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

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 ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ

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 ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

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 ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท & Hungary ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ

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: ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ

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 didnโ€™t have time for previously.

Georgia ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช

The idea of doing a road trip through 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.

Turkey ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท

As with every year, the end of October signals road trip season. When it comes to Turkey, most people think of Istanbul and beach resorts, but thereโ€™s so much more to explore. While planning our 10-day itinerary, I quickly realized that choices had to be made. Read my post to discover the places I chose to visit and how I organized the entire trip.

Jordan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

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.

Hong Kong ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

Hereโ€™s the corrected and polished version of your text:

While searching for my next destination, I spontaneously booked tickets to Hong Kong and decided to spend a week there. Some people asked, โ€œWhat are you going to do in Hong Kong for so long?โ€ The ultimate answer isโ€”thereโ€™s so much to experience.
