Couchsurfing

If you love travelling but non of your friends shares your enthusiasm don’t worry, there is a way. Just log in on the web site couchsurfing.com and start packing your rucksuck! All you need  to do is  to let the citizens of your travel destination know about your plans and ask them politely if you can stay in their place. You will be suprised how many people take part in this amazing project and are ready to host you.

Your new friends will not charge you for your stay in their house and, what is the most valuable, will keep you company and will show you some interesting places you can’t find in the guidebook. In return, it’s nice to present them to express your  gratitude for hosting you, for example,  with something  typical from your country.

Even though the hosts always do their best to make you feel at home, you must be ready for some inconveniences too. It may happen that sofa will be  uncomfortable  or bathroom not very clean. But  belive me that new friendships and fantastic memories will recompense you for that.

Christmas presents

If you keep wondering what to give your family and friends  as a present for Chistmas and you just can’t make up anything, I have something that may help you. I found few lists of most popular gifts from last years. As you can imagine they all look almost the same, which means that some presents are timeless and, problably, always welcome. So, on the top of the list, there are cosmetics and perfumes . If you are not sure which  to choose than you can just take any of christmas sets, as they usually contain basic and useful products and, at the same time, look nice.   On the second place there are: books , clothes , and sweets . The last position is the easiest solution and will work almost always; all you should do is to avoid popular allergens like nuts. It’s much more complicated in case of books and clothes which are very individual things. On the last place of most popular gifts there are:  jewellery and money . And you, what would you like to ...

The Palm House

If you’d   like to go   for a walk   or sit down in a park but low temperatures hardly let you go out of the house, remember that in Poznań there is a palm house, incredible place where you can feel like in tropical jungle for very cheap money. You will find there not only a wide variety of plants impossible to be seen in our climate like for example cactuses or palms, but also parrots and fish. The building is divided in few rooms due to   different types of plants and different temperatures   that they need. There is also an exhibition of exotic fruits and a pavilion with aquariums. If you’re not a big fan of nature you can just sit down on one of the benches or in a cosy coffee bar, enjoy warmth of this place, relax and forget, at least for the moment, about jackets, gloves and winter that is coming very soon.

Let’s go to the lake !

Is there anything better in a hot day than going to the nearest lake to relax in the shadow of trees and cool in the water? Well, yes, it would be probably better to go on the sea side. But if you can’t afford it or you just don’t have enough free time then lake is the best option. In Poznań, or actually in almost all the Poland, we have many lakes to choose to spend there a nice day. Poles like swimming   and having fun in the water which is the opposite to   British who don’t really understand this idea . If you ask any person in the UK about nice lakes to go they willcertainly ask you „for what?”.   And it’s not because they do not have lakes but because they are not used to spend their free time in such a way. What’s more, if you look for some information about places to swim in the UK in Internet, the majority of comments will be written by polish peole and, therefore, they will be the majority on the beaches. Anyway, as long as we stay in Poznań, let’s enj...
