OWHC Region Nordwest Europe & North America
On Monday 10th of September we started our two weeks journey within OWHC Scholarship. During this trip we will discover Young and Modern Life in World Heritage Central European Cities. We began it in Warsaw – filled with history, being an example of the transition from tradition to modernity. Most of the city was destroyed during the Second World War and – after being reconstructed – it’s constantly changing. Continue reading “Warsaw, Poland”
Beautiful lady.
After all, this is one of the oldest cities in Europe with a long history behind. But for me Vienna will always be a beautiful Lady with an eternally young soul.

Daily blog: World Heritage Adventure
World Heritage Adventure was an amazing journey through Scandinavian countries – Norway was the most important destination of my trip.
At the beginning of my project I decided to find out more about European “Eco Examples“. During my “research” I was observing people and their eco–friendly lifestyle.
#1 Recycling
Recycling is very popular in Norway, wherever you go there are few trasches for different kind of waste. It’s a big faux pas not to segregate your rubish in Norway!
#2 Eco–friendly cars
Electric and hybrid cars are very popular in Norway. There are many facilities for electric/hybrid cars owners – eg. cheaper parkings. As an interesting fact I can tell you that Norway is the biggest European Tesla market (per capita).
#3 Hydroelectricy
In Norwegian electricity sector 98% of power comes from renewable resources (mostly from water)!
#4 Water
Remember that in Scandinavia water is so clean that without any worries you can drink tap water!
The Lysefjord
Macedonia, Makedonija, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Republic of Macedonia and in the future maybe Republic of North Macedonia. Why is this successor state of the former Yugoslavia which is independent since 1991 called so many different names?
