Hit the road with Marta

Hello  everyone !   I come back to you again with the topic of packing for the trip. I am glad that I was able to speak so quickly   The important thing is not taking too many things just in case. Let's not take things that we don't normally use but we hope to suddenly start using them on vacation. If we are going to Greece in august, do not take 5 pairs of long pants with us because it can be cold, 1 maximum of 2 is enough for us.   Remember to always prepare things so that as many of them as possible match, or are sets. So that it doesn't turn out that you have leopard pants that don't go with anything.   It is also worth paying attention to delicate things, we need to properly secure them so that nothing is damaged.   Before we start packing, let's prepare all the things for ourselves, and only then begin to put them in a backpack, suitcase or bag. It's always worth starting with the toughest things, and fill the space with trifles. To th...

Hello  everyone !   Just as I promised to end the Christmas theme, which accompanied us for so long . W e return to the topic of travel. Today I would like to tell you about a small but crucial matter, namely how to pack for a  trip.   The  matter seems simple, however, when we start packing, suddenly a big mess comes out.   First of all, at the very beginning it is worth  it to  think  about  where, when and why  are w e going.   I think we know why we have to think about it.  We pack differently when we’re going to  Iceland,  we pack differently for  Israel,  we pack differently when we’re travelling in  winter or  in  summer.  In the same way  if we go to sunbathe for a week we will not need the same things if we  would take for hiking the mountains.   As we already know, it is best to make a list of things that we will need.  I t will help us or...

Hello  everyone !   I promise you that this is the last blog about Christmas. The blog will tell you about the strangest Christmas customs that we can find in different parts of the world.   A good witch who brings presents  -  In Italy, an elderly man in a red bucket does not bring Christmas presents, but a very ugly witch with a curved nose, La  Befana . The witch brings coal, ash, onion to naughty children.   To the church on roller skates  - In Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, you don't drive a car on Christmas Eve. The streets are closed to cars, because everyone rushes to the church on roller skates. Yes, ordinary rolls.   Banana tree instead of Christmas tree  - In India, it is difficult to find a Christmas tree, so if you want to celebrate Christmas, you have to combine. Hindu Christians often decorate banana or mango trees with baubles.   KFC bucket for Christmas dinner  -...

Hello  everyone !   I hope that the topic of Christmas has not bored you yet, because for today I have another interesting topic related to Christmas. And exactly food. I will tell you about what dishes we can most often find on Christmas Eve table and I will try to give you their meaning, symbolism.   As some of you may already know, there should be 12 dishes on the Christmas table according to tradition. The number 12 has many meanings, it can symbolize 12 apostles, 12 months of the year or 12 generations of Israel.    I will exchange 12 dishes for you, of course we can meet others in every home, as well as in other parts of Poland. That's why my list will be quite subjective.   mushroom soup    borscht (the soup made with beetroots) with “ uszka ”    fried carp    patties with cabbage    cabbage  with mushrooms    herring in oil   compote of dried fruits   Gree...
