On the Trail of the Eagles’ Nests
The book "On the Trail of Eagle's Nests" tells the story of the castles and their ruins along the historical route that runs in southern Poland between Krak籀w and Częstochowa. Most of these castles were built in the 13th century and served to defend the state border. Their picturesque location among limestone cliffs made them difficult to access in the past. The area in which they are located is characterized by limestone cliffs, which are a great attraction for mountaineers. The many caves also make the region a popular tourist destination. The book contains descriptions of 14 historical sites: castles, fortresses and ruins. Among the best known are the Jasna G籀ra Monastery in Częstochowa and the Wawel Royal Castle in Krak籀w, both monuments of great importance in Polish national and state history. Others are more or less known, but always interesting. The book presents the rich history of these monuments. Most of them were built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 17th century. Some were rebuilt, others remained in ruins. Besides the history, we also get to know the interesting places in the surroundings of these monuments. There are natural sights such as caves and rocks, which are conquered by climbers from all over the world. But not only. Interesting places in selected towns and villages are also described. In addition, each object is associated with at least one story or legend, which is also the content of the book. All descriptions are accompanied by appropriate photographs documenting these places. As the author, I can assure you that I have personally visited most of the places presented, often accompanied by a small dog named York Fafik, who in a sense becomes the silent hero of these stories. The descriptions of each place are clearly organized and each is accompanied by my own map and information about the distances between the castles and the time needed to get there. I have tried to give the most important information in this book without going into depth. The aim is to make it easier to hike the red marked Eagle's Nest Trail between Krak籀w and Częstochowa. There are two versions of the trail. The first, 168 km long, is a hiking trail, while the second is designed for cyclists and is slightly longer. In parts, the route deviates from the hiking trail. The ruins of castles and watchtowers - "Eagle's Nests" - on rocky hills are undoubtedly one of the greatest tourist attractions not only in the Krak籀w-Częstochowa Jura, but in Poland as a whole. They are certainly an interesting alternative for an active vacation.

Bulgaria Full Circle
The Bulgarian affair began in 2005, leaving the UK and moving into a village called Skalitsa some 37 kilometres from the City of Yambol. A smallholding was managed there and life was wholly immersed into a traditional village culture - a missing part of life's jigsaw had seemingly been found. This was not to be ... The only plan open to a 'sustainable' life in Bulgaria was to move back to the UK for essential funding. This was all due to the initial haste and impatience of trying to live the good life without income. It was doomed to fail as minimal income is a must to fulfil any life goal. Living and working in the UK brought about issues; the system, the people, and not least family. It also explains how alien it felt as a returning expatriate and how Galia now sees the UK now without rose-tinted glasses. Regardless of the number of hurdles put in our way, the plan forged ahead and a return to life in Yambol was made in 2017. A contrasting lifestyle and distinctly different adventures were found in an urban environment. Personal insights into residing in an old communist-era-built apartment block are laid out, which clearly highlights the divides. If there is something you really want, it can be achieved with determination, energy and willpower that drives you forward, never giving up. Galia was a pivotal figure in the plan and the book clearly shows that we wouldn't have reached our goal without her. The title, 'Bulgaria Full Circle' won't make sense until the last chapter has been read.

My Viljandi
This book is a surreal account of some years spent in this small town. I arrived by train one evening, wondering why I had even returned. My marriage was over and my main companions were a notebook and pen. Then things started to happen. I fell in love with a Designer, was bewitched by Miss Cloud, comforted by a Lioness, and captivated by a Tigress. In Viljandi, I met divas, chefs, soothsayers, diplomats, poets, musicians, generals, bartenders, TV stars, and even boatmen. There were harvest parties, folk festivals, caf矇 and theater scenes, bonfires and yoga lessons. And coffee! Lots of coffee! But the main thing I learned during these years was this: you cannot write without love.
Blue Skies
Ukraine is gritty, it's undiscovered, it's misunderstood, and it's a hidden gem in Eastern Europe. It has its difficulties due to war, ununified identity, and complex history. Yet, it captures a traveler in its hospitality, culture, and sense of curiosity. Blue Skies is a collection of short stories that illuminates each of these elements, woven through a coming-of-age passage of a young American in Ukraine. It is not a travel guidebook that groups Ukraine with other countries in Eastern Europe, nor is it a detailed examination of Ukraine's history, language, or latest news. It is the reflections of a traveler's explorations and discoveries in cities across Ukraine, from the western city of Lviv to the eastern city of Kramatorsk. Through her own personal grief and loss, author Kat Rose explores the obstacles that travelers often face on the road: balancing work and travel, maintaining existing relationships while building new ones, and merging old beliefs with new discoveries. Blue Skies takes readers on the adventurous ride of what it's like to travel, live, and teach in Ukraine through the lens of openness towards strangers, perseverance through obstacles, and hope in the darkness.
I Am a Brave Bridge
Once upon a time an American girl moved to a little town in Slovakia. And she fell in love with the country, and with a boy. And then another boy. And then about a dozen boys fell in love with her. Many linguistic and romantic antics ensued, and a happy ending unlike any she could have foreseen. This is a story for everyone-the armchair traveler and the real one, the lover of love stories and the connoisseur of culture clash-but above all, it's a story for anyone who is always homesick for somewhere else.

A Chip Shop in Poznan
'One of the funniest books of the year' - Paul Ross, talkRADIO WARNING: CONTAINS AN UNLIKELY IMMIGRANT, AN UNSUNG COUNTRY, A BUMPY ROMANCE, SEVERAL SHATTERED PRECONCEPTIONS, TRACES OF INSIGHT, A DOZEN NUNS AND A REFERENDUM. Not many Brits move to Poland to work in a fish and chip shop. Fewer still come back wanting to be a Member of the European Parliament. In 2016 Ben Aitken moved to Poland while he still could. It wasn't love that took him but curiosity: he wanted to know what the Poles in the UK had left behind. He flew to a place he'd never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on the minimum wage. When he wasn't peeling potatoes he was on the road scratching the country's surface: he milked cows with a Eurosceptic farmer; missed the bus to Auschwitz; spent Christmas with complete strangers and went to Gdansk to learn how communism got the chop. By the year's end he had a better sense of what the Poles had turned their backs on - southern mountains, northern beaches, dumplings! - and an uncanny ability to bone cod. This is a candid, funny and offbeat tale of a year as an unlikely immigrant.
Biografi
In 1991, with communism in tatters throughout Eastern Europe, Jones journeyed to a most unlikely destination: Albania. What he found was a relentlessly bizarre world of half-truths and fictions, a world where your status and sometimes your life hinged on your biografi.
