Wegańskie Alternatywy Dla Znanych Produktów Going vegan doesn't mean giving up on all the favourite (or not) tastes and all things sweet. And though the article itself is in Polish and some may not get a single words from it, it's supplied with pics of vegan alternatives of some well-known products (id eat sweets!).

Travel Guide to Iceland Years ago (or should I write yeeeeeeears?) I saw a little documentary on Iceland and its tiny cities with unique atmosphere and as usual fell in love. Iceland has been on my bucket list of dream destinations for quite a long time and I hope to make it there one day.

Just go and watch (it's in polish but rape is a worldwide problem that should be fixed!)
