Europe for weekend
The Europe for weekend cycle was born in my head with passion for photography, beautiful places and outdoor adventures. I want to show you how great you can spend time in Europe without having a long holiday, but using e.g. extended weekends. I hope that this cycle will be an inspiration for your European trips.
