we gave up everything we had to travel the world.
G’day mate, (currently in Christchurch, NZ)
and welcome in our tiny story
We are a family of four - Nadja, Leo, Lejla & Erik. In the year 2015, we sold all our stuff and moved to a tiny Mediterranean island. We spent a year there and went back to Slovenia after. Having that experience, we realized we couldn't wait anymore for the right time to travel. We want to do it NOW. We want to move our asses out of our comfort zones and do our best.
After one year spent back in our home country, we made a decision. We canceled our apartment, left everything behind and started our low budget journey around the globe with final destination New Zealand in mind.
Here is the place where we will share our tiny stories about life, travel, relationship, kids, problems, business, freelancing and more what will occur during our journey.

Today I was inspired by this quote. I believe we have a choice. I have a choice. And decision we make shapes our reality. Negativity is an easy road. It doesn't give anything worth keeping. So next time, next morning - even if nothing goes as planned - smile, say only "good" and move forward to next opportunity that will knock on a door of your life.

In January we went to visit our family in Slovenia. We didn’t see any positive consequences of our visit. We were exhausted, and it was hard to get back into our daily routine. The most significant problem occurred when it was time to get back to school. Lejla skipped two weeks of school, and she had a lot of catching up to do - tons of homework.

We have arrived on Gozo at the beginning of November. Personally, I fell into a bit of depressive state. Maybe depression isn’t the right description. It was more like melancholy. I wasn’t sad; I was without energy. I wished to snuggle between warm covers and not move out of it.
