My Travels
♥
places I've been · memories I've kept
Spain · Canary Islands
Tenerife
More than the beaches — it was the variety, the easy exploring and the feeling that there was always more to see.

Italy · Road Trip
Italy
From Milan to Cinque Terre and Pisa — and back to Lake Garda, because we simply couldn't resist.

Reykjavik
Iceland
Freezing winds, dark mornings and landscapes so unreal I could have stared at them forever. Iceland was unlike anywhere we'd been before.

Italy
Sardinia
Crystal-clear water and crowded beaches — but the places we loved most were the quieter ones we discovered from the sea.

Czech Republic
Prague
Our second time in Prague — this time with the kids, beautiful architecture and an unforgettable AC/DC concert.
Explore Prague →
Vietnam
Our biggest culture shock yet. Vietnam was fascinating, confronting and completely different from what we knew — but ultimately, not for us.

Germany · Euro 2024
Germany
Germany through football and family travel — three Euro 2024 matches, beautiful places and great memories along the way.

Italy
Rome
Incredible history, iconic sights — but somehow, Rome just wasn’t our city. We saw it, experienced it, but never really fell for it.

Turkey
Belek
Belek is made for switching off — beautiful resorts, endless food and everything taken care of. But after a few days, we were ready for more than resort life. Picture-perfect at first glance, a little less exciting in reality.

France
Paris
We fell in love with Paris on our first visit. Years later, returning with our children, the magic was still there in the sights — but not quite in the feeling of the city.

Greece
Lefkada
Lefkada’s beaches aren’t always easy — long stairs, steep climbs, strong waves and almost no shade. But the colour of the sea is something else. Even with all the effort, we’d say they’re absolutely worth it.

Hungary
Budapest
Some cities you visit once. Others make you want to come back. Budapest is definitely the second kind for us — beautiful, well organised and a great choice for a weekend getaway. Next time, we’re taking the kids.
Explore Budapest →
Maldives
Kuramathi
Some resorts get boring. The Maldives never did. Kuramathi was beautiful, luxurious and a place we didn’t want to leave.
Explore Kuramathi →
Florida & Bahamas
Florida was an adventure, the cruise was an experience, but the Bahamas were unforgettable. That white, powder-soft sand is still the best we’ve ever seen. One day, we’ll be back.
Explore Florida & Bahamas →
France
Provence & Marseille
From beautiful Marseille to the roads of Provence, this trip proved that traveling with small children can still be a wonderful adventure — even when the lavender isn’t in bloom.
Explore Provence & Marseille →
Seychelles
The beaches are beautiful, but it was the giant granite rocks that impressed us most. La Digue, explored by bike with two toddlers, remains our favorite Seychelles memory.

the story behind the journeys
I'm Metka, the planner behind our family travels. I love figuring out where to go, where to stay and how to make a trip work for us — then leaving enough room to simply enjoy it. Here I share what worked, what didn't, and what I'd do differently next time.
