Travelling is a state of mind / Putovanje je stanje svijesti

Sometimes travelling is a state of mind. You can always play the tourist in the city you happen to live in....as I do often in Split and Mostar. The desire to explore, to see new things, to discover is not something that can be bought. One can always travel....travel in mind, travel in time, travel in your own home town....Never understimate the power of a long walk. It does wonders for one's body and it is just as good for the mind and the soul. 


Ponekad je putovanje stanje svijesti. Uvijek možete glumiti turista u gradu u kojem živite, kao što ja to često činim u Splitu i u Mostaru. Želja za istraživanjem, za viđenjem novog, za okrivanjem je nešto što se ne može kupiti. Uvijek se može putovati, putovati umom, putovati u vremenu, putovati u vlastitom gradu....Nemojte nikad podcjenjivati dugu šetnju. Čini čuda za tijelo i jednako je dobra za um i dušu.

  1. Absolutely agree - I love exploring the places I call home. There's always something new to experience; some new encounter with place or people. It's part of staying curious and seeing things afresh each day. Love those trousers - perfectly autumnal.

  2. Slažem se s tobom, igranje turista u gradovima u kojima živimo je uvijek zabavno, a ništa nije bolje od duge i opuštajuće šetnje :))
    Super izgledaš, sviđa mi se ovaj dugački kardigan!

  10. The only travelling I'm doing these days are through travel blogs, enjoying the pictures and writing shared by others and I live by them. Maybe one day I will get the opportunity to experience the other countries myself but for now, I just enjoy them online.

  11. Totally agree with you that travelling is a state of mind and it doesn't mean that we should be in different place and you're right, sometimes we forget that long walk could be good for us and for our soul :) Btw, you look stunning, Ivana , it this black cardigan and what's more, you pose like a real model, great job, dear ;)

  18. Znaš da se u potpunosti slažem sa tobom ;) Jako si lepo ti rekla, u tome je i cela suština jer čak i onaj ko putuje često ili negde daleko, a nema to stanje svesti, kao da nigde nije ni otišao...
    Mnogo mi se sviđa kombinacija, a pantalone su me oduševile. Tako su slatke i vesele i sjajno prilagođene ovom vremenu. Uvek si tako inovativna i inspirativna :) Mesto je takođe divno. Baš uživam u ovim malim virtuelnim šetnjama :)

  49. Čim sam vidjela hlače, pomislila sam da si ih ti doradila. Rezultat je odličan, a navodno je takvo što sad i jako popularno i trendy koliko vidim na IG, svi nešto šaraju po trapericama :) Tvoje su ipak nešto drugo. Sviđa mi se jako kroj i odlično ti stoji.
    Slažem se za šetnje. One su moj ispušni ventil. Iako ih sada baš nemam toliko vremena prakticirati (barem ne sama)... prošli sam tjedan na putu od liječnika, išla pješice cijelim putem do kuće moje mame. Prehodala sam neka tri km i baš mi je trebalo takvo što. Nisam se željela zaustaviti... samo hodaš i hodaš i misliš ili ne misliš... dišeš i živiš punim plućima.

    1. istina i meni su šetnje spas...puno sjedim za kompjuterom kad radim prijevode, a kada to neradim onda opet sjedim i šijem ili crtam...te su svakodnevne šetnje pravi odmor i fizički i psihički.

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.
