Visiting Edinburgh, Scotland

October 11, 2018 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

This Summer in July I spent amazing 8 days in beautiful Scotland, one of my favourite countries. Besides being exciting and wonderful, it has also been an emotional trip for me as I used to live in Scotland about 10 years ago in what seems like a totally another life. It was 2 years of my life that I spent living in Glasgow and I have many beautiful but also difficult memories from that time so it was kind of a big deal for me to be back after so much time.

I’ve been planning that trip with my friend who is also photography obsessed lol so we knew that we wanted to use the time we had in the best possible way to take as many photos humanly possible in the most wonderful locations. We also wanted to enjoy our holidays and that means eating delicious food, drinking lots of coffee and black tea and possible a whiskey (or gin!) or two, driving through the remote locations with only green hills and sheep to keep us company and so on… Scottish Highlands were kind of a priority on our list. Also enough time in Edinburgh to explore and take lots and lots of photos of one of the prettiest cities. Oh well, priority was also Isle of Skye, magical island with ‘out of this world’ scenery. So as you can see we had a lot of priorities, busy schedule but we also wanted to be spontaneous and not plan every single thing because where is the joy in that, right!? 😀 Not an easy task to do all that in just 8 days but I’m happy to report that we DID IT! And we had the best time ever, definitely one of my favourite trips I took…

We started our trip with 3 days in Edinburgh so this post will be about that part of our Scottish adventure. I’ll write another shorter one about Glasgow and than one larger again about Scottish Highlands, gorgeous nature, Isle of Skye, cute animals (read: cows and sheep!) etc.. 🙂 Scotland is amazing country, believe me!

Food photography & styling workshop in Zagreb, Spring 2018

June 24, 2018 By travellingoven 7 Comments

It’s been more than 2 months already since I was planning to post some photos from my first Food photography & styling workshop that I organized in Zagreb with my friend and colleague Natalie from Natalies’ Happy Health! What can I say, all the usual things happened, you know life, too much work, various projects, days too short for all that you want/need to do and in the end before I realized Summer is already here and I’m actually planning my second workshop yaaay! And third lol! 😀 So I figured out it was about time to post these photos and say few words about the first workshop I had in April…

Cherry coconut crumble (GF, vegan)

Even if my last recipe was with cherries (did you try this yummy vegan Cherry chocolate cake?) I decided cherries deserve another recipe posted on the blog before their season is finished here in Croatia. I officially proclaim cherries my favourite fruit! 😀 But I’m also really really excited about blueberries and raspberries! What is your favourite Summer fruit? It’s difficult to choose, right?

I’ve been busy with different photography projects and planning workshops (I still NEED to post about my workshop held in April in Zagreb and I promise to do it soon!!!) so I didn’t have that much time for the blog but I’m happy I managed to post my travel story from beautiful Ljubljana, Slovenia and hopefully there will be more travel stories soon. I have actually something planned for July and I seriously can’t wait! If you are following me on my social media, I’ll be sharing there more before I manage to write a blog post so stay tuned if interested! 🙂 Now back to food yaaay and today’s recipe!

Charming Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia

June 6, 2018 By travellingoven 6 Comments

Have you ever visited Ljubljana? If you haven’t, you should be packing your luggage and hitting the road as it’s so worth visiting and spending some relaxing time just chilling by the river, wandering the picturesque little squares and streets, discovering pretty details on every corner and overall enjoying the super easy relaxed vibe that this city has to offer.

Recently I had an opportunity to spend a couple of days in Ljubljana and even if I visited the city before, quite a few years ago, I was again impressed with beautiful architecture, so much greenery and this wonderful atmosphere that puts you in the holiday mood straight away. Even if I was not there on holidays but rather a work related visit. Luckily I had just enough time for walks and taking photos, you guessed it right, my favourite thing to do when travelling!

I started my walk on Preseren Square, it’s a central square situated in the pedestrian zone and a major meeting point, also a place where lots of events and festivals are taking place. It’s named after the famous poet France Prešeren and makes a great starting point for exploring the city and also a place where you can sit, relax, listen to the street musicians and watch the world goes by, just like I did!
