What countries are safe

New Global Peace Index is out and we can check safety in countries all around the World to check where will be safe to travel.

Montpellier, France

Montpellier is a city on the south of France, not so far from the sea. It has kind of romantic vibe.

In France, according to current surveys, the most common career wish is to be a lawyer. In the Czech Republic, he is said to be a YouTuber. So I went for it too. After all, everything should to be tried 😀

After 3 days in Marseille, France

First impressions are said to be the most important and also the easiest to collect. Later, when a person gets used to the environment around him, it is not easy to recognize what it was like in the beginning.

Across

Morocco

I am entering Moroccan soil for the first time in my life on May 4, 2019. Exactly 3 days before Ramadan begins here. What is Ramadan (you can find it in Chapter 15, what all happened and how I discovered the secrets of Africa and Morocco for the first time, you will learn in the following stories. Traveling through Morocco begins with chapter No. 12, the previous chapters describe the journey from Prague to the south of Spain.

to Morocco

In the following stories, you will find a described journey on a motorcycle from Prague to the south of Spain, from where I moved to Morocco. The journey to the south of Spain started on April 16, 2019 in Prague and took almost 3 weeks.

Andyho Cestopisy - Motorkou z Prahy na Saharu

By motorbike from Prague to Sahara – part 1

The goal is clear, to reach France from the Czech Republic in one go. But one cannot imagine what can go wrong with such a simple plan.

By motorbike from Prague to the Sahara – part 2

First time in France. First French meal. Driving and working. McDonald's the oasis of the internet.

By motorbike from Prague to the Sahara – part 3

From Mylhous to Lyon. Slovak Krušovice, cheese, baguettes and the history of French hostility.

By motorbike from Prague to Sahara – part 4

I arrived in Lyon, and because of a sudden cold, I decided to stay a few days... And in the end, I'm very glad I did.

Travelogues

Colombia

Dangerous Bogota, the drug kingpin whose name is unpronounceable,
jungle coffee plantations and toucans.

Colombia Chapter 1

I'm skipping a month in Costa Rica and 10 months in Mexico and diving straight into writing about Colombia. Welcome to Bogotá!

Colombia Chapter 2

After a week in the climatically inhospitable Bogotá, I take a bus to Escobar's homeland. I'm heading for Medellín.

Colombia Chapter 3

From Medellín I move to Guatape, supposedly the most colourful village in the world. I buy a ticket at the main station in Medellín and look for a bus.

Colombia Chapter 4

Cartagena is a historic and very popular city with tourists and travellers alike. This brings with it a lot of positives and negatives and a lot depends on what part of the city you are... and I wasn't exactly in the right one.

Travelogues

Cuba

From the south to the north of Cuba. Tobacco plantations, old carts, piñacoladas, scam artists and ficulas.

Santiago de Cuba - Kuba - Andyho Cestopisy

Cuba chapter 1

Arriving in Cuba and an Italian mass murderer as a benefactor Now that I think back in my mind what kind of cars drive in Cuba, I am surprised by the successful transfer from the Dominican Republic to Cuba by a plane of Cuban...

Cuba chapter 2

We wake up in Cuba, stuff our bellies with a huge breakfast and head downtown. Our casa particular (private accommodation) is from...

Cuba chapter 3

Trinidad Magnet for tourists, God knows why... A beautiful January day, perfect for sweating your soul out on the bus. But this time we're opting for the night tour and saving on accommodation. Most travellers from Santiago de Cuba...

Cuba chapter 4

Cienfuegos is on our way, it appears in a couple of guidebooks so we have no reason not to stop here for one night. After much anticipation from Trinidad, we arrive in Cienfuegos with absolutely no expectations and that always pays off.

Travelogues

Dominican

republic

First time out of Europe and straight into the lion’s den. Shotguns, waterfalls, straws, horses and Christopher Columbus…

Dominikánská republika - Andyho Cestopisy

Dominican Republic Chapter 1

The dull sound of the plane landing confirmed that the pilot was a seasoned professional and had not forgotten to pull the landing gear. Surviving for 12 hours in the bowels of hundreds of tons of steel? Done! But what's next for us once we arrive in the Dominican Republic?...

Dominican Republic Chapter 2

Considering how big the Dominican Republic is (a bit smaller than the Czech Republic) and how many people I met in that hour...

Dominican Republic Chapter 3

Remember that scene from Police Academy with the Blue Oyster Bar? When within seconds, the cops realize they're in a place where they're not supposed to be and that it's...

Dominican Republic Chapter 4

Our main goal on the Samaná peninsula was to visit the Limón waterfall and to go in search of whales that pass by the area at the beginning of the year...
