ABOUT


                 

Dear Traveler,

My personal journey began on the banks of the Blue Danube in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe. Despite its small size, my country has a lot of history, tracing back to the Neolithic Era .  The abundance of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine era archaeological sites are undisputed witnesses to the significance of the region. Since a teenager, I was fascinated with ancient Mediterranean civilizations, especially Egypt.  My dream was to become an archaeologist in order to study the daily life of the people who inhabited the "Black Land Kemet",  and to learn the way they perceived the world millennia ago.
Although not able to pursue the path of archaeology professionally, over the years I kept learning about the Ancient Egyptians and their trading and cultural relationships with their neighbors, such as the Minoans who lived on the island of Crete, the Athenians on the mainland Greece, the Romans, just to name a few.
​
A defining moment came when I started traveling to these destinations and the historical monuments were no longer just a teenager's bookish dream. Many times, I just stood in awe and marveled at the sight. Irreplaceable experiences also included interactions with locals and learning about their culture and traditions.

Unfortunately, during my adventures, I also ran into tourist crowds, large bus tours, and hours-long lines to must-see cultural and historical sites. As someone who appreciates getting a closer look and a bit of quieter time to study my point of inspiration, I was frustrated and annoyed by the tourist crowds, the feeling of being pushed and rushed. Having sometimes just a few days at the destination, the time wasted can quickly add up. After a few stressful travel occurrences and meeting on this path people who faced similar challenges, I started to search for a wiser, personal and stress-free way to travel.

Following my passion for ancient history and cultural heritage sites inspired me to start Journeys4Life , boutique travel services. My commitment is to dedicate the rest of my professional life to help savvy travelers who struggle with the lack of time and the overwhelming information on the internet and who would like to avoid tourist crowds and skip the lines to historical monuments, but get personalized attention, so they can deeply experience the destination they are traveling to and come back home culturally enriched and full of life-lasting memories.

We look forward to serving you and making your dream vacation, an experience for a lifetime.
​
May you be given life, stability and health like Re, forever.

Malta For First-Time Travelers

Image
Dear Traveler, Did you know that Malta's history is older than the Pyramids? The small archipelago is home to some of the world's oldest human structures and many of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Moving on to later millennia, the strategic geographical position of the island has naturally attracted the ruling military powers of that period. Romans, Moors, the Knights of the Order of Saint John, the French, the British -- all have left their impact in shaping Malta's history, culture, and architecture. Quick facts & geography Malta is one of the smallest nations in the world (just under half a million inhabitants) situated right in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicily and the North African Coast. A part of the EU,  the local currency is Euro and there are no visa requirements for  US citizens. The official languages are Maltese and English (as a former British colony).  The Maltese Archipelago is comprised of Malta (the largest i...

Key Differences: Star Clippers and Windstar Cruises

Image
To the casual observer, if docked side by side both Star Clipper and Windstar Ships look similar. Both cruise lines belong to the niche market of small ship cruising, and both have sails (more on this below). There are no lines, no time wasted with transfers, most of the time the vessels dock right near the heart of the town. The service and the hardware gives you the feel of cruising on your own private yacht. The vessels are equipped with a watersports marina and they take you to less explored, exotic parts of the world inaccessible via large ship. With that said, there are still few recognizable differences to consider: Star Clipper in Monemvasia, Greece Star Clippers The Star Clippers fleet is comprised of 3 sailing ships with wind-operated sails:   Star Clipper , Star Flyer (sister ships), and Royal Clipper .  All launched between 1991-2000.  A new ship, the Flying Clipper is to be delivered by the end of 2017 The first two mentioned are true clipper ...

Sailing to Amorgos, Greece: The Island of the "Big Blue"

Image
Dear Traveler, On a hot summer morning at the end of August, our Star Clipper Ship docked in the Katapola port on the island of Amorgos, the easternmost of the Cyclades group. Somewhat isolated, Amorgos wasn't on the traveler's map until the late 80's when it became a filming location of " The   Big Blue " -a freestyle diving movie featuring the french star Jean Reno. Cyclades Island Map Lonely Planet Compared with its trendy neighbors, such as Santorini and Mykonos, Amorgos attracts with its rough beauty and its peaceful and spiritual vibe. The mountainous relief of the island is hilly and steep with narrow and windy roads. The lack of hotel infrastructure (the majority of accommodations are room rentals concentrated around the port) draws low maintenance hikers, herb-pickers, and divers. We made a new friend at Asset Car Rental Amorgos is big enough that, in order to explore it, you will need to rent a scooter or a car. If you are not experienced w...
