SALUT!

WELCOME TO SWITZERLAND!

Today I was supposed to post some nice photos from my hiking trips from last weekend and last month too, but I am still waiting for some more photos, and you have to wait as well :)

Last summer ma and my friend Weronika were hitchiking through Switzerland, and we got to a really amazing place in swiss Alps. But if I want to decribe everything what we saw there, I have to start with short story how we really got there. So, 3 days before me and Weronika got to Vevey, a really nice city on the Geneva Lake side, but the weather wasn't really good, it was raining and we decided to play quitar and sing in front of the railway station to earn some money for camping. During our playing a really nice man came to us, and introduced himself. His name was Karol and he was from Slovakia, so we were able to have a conversation in our own languages. Then we just finished our conversation and walk to find a camping.
3 days after we decided to go to Zermatt, but while we were walking to the right road, we met Karol! It was amazing, cause he offered us to drop us off to the right road to Zermatt, but in the end he took us there, found a camping with us, afterward he bought us a pizza, gave a concert in a restaurant ( cause Karol is a really good musician! ) and then took us to Zermatt by train.


These two small cities are called Tasch and Zermatt. The interesting thing is that you are not allowed to go to Zermatt by car or motrocycle. Your choice is to hike there, or go by train which costs 16 euros per return ticket. You are able to leave your car on huge parking in Tasch ( probably the biggest building over there).
To be honest there are not so many interesting things to visit in Tasch though, but landscape is amazing. Alps are so huge, that I got scared only by thinking about me standing on the top! I have never seen such a big mountains before.
Let's go back to Zermatt,so it's a lovely, really expensive, and with good atmosphere city in Alps, and it's a place where all alpinist set out for reaching the top of Matterhorn- one of the most beautiful and the most dangerous mountain in Europe.
Unfortunately, there were many clouds when we were there, and we couldn't see the might of this mountain.
( I had to steal a photo from uncle Google).

Matterhorn ( 4,478 meteres) :


Here are some photos from our trip to Tasch and Zermatt, and later some nice mountain villages on our way:

NAMASTE!

"
 Hi all!
I'm Buba and I'm 21 years old. My greatest passion is travelling, and I don't only mean visiting new places, for me it's also exploring, experiencing, meeting interesting people, feeling new cultures, eating different food, and trying to find my own place in the world. 
Few times in my life I already started writing blogs, but now I am totally motivated to do it, cause I want to write about things I really love. In my posts you will find my memories from former journeys, histories about interesting people who I met on my way, quotes, some food recipies which I collected from my foreigner friends and of course I will be posting histories from journeys that will come. I also would like to help people with planning journeys and their problems, so if you have any questions-  feel free to message me! 
"HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED" 
Aleksander Supertramp
"Into the wild" is one on my favourite movies, and in the end of his life, after all experiences he is answering the question, that happiness is only real when shared. Why is it on my blog?! Cause I think exactly the same. It's the best thing in the world that you can share amazing moments with people who you like or even love! Sometimes even with strangers, what is totally crazy! I always travel with somebody, what makes me happy. But sometimes of course all of us have to find our own solitude...
"Two smiles journey" is a name of my blog, cause I hitchike a lot, and I almost always do that with someone . Just sometimes when I'm desperated I do it on my own. And the name is also connected with previous quote... Everything is soooo easy to understand! :)

To make you a bit more happy, during this cold winter, I would like to send you some italian sun:



 GOOD NIGHT
