The last day of voting at Big Blog Exchange

As you have probably noticed by now, there is a Big Blog Exchange competition going on at the moment. Actually it will end in just a few hours (12pm GMT), which means you still have a chance to vote for me.

I have to take this opportunity to thank you all for voting for me. Thanks to you - my trusty readers, it looks like I will be ranked within the top 100 bloggers from all over the World - I am at #64 at the moment.
Everyone from the top 100 will have a chance to actually become one of the lucky 16 travel bloggers and exchange countries for 10 days. It is all in the hands of organizers of the competition from here on - Hostelling International.

You still can help me get a better ranking in these last few hours of the competition. To give me your vote, you can find all the information in my post about the Big Blog Exchange competition. Thank you all, again!

Big Blog Exchange competition

It you are a regular visitor you might have also noticed that I do not participate all that often (or at least I do not bother you - my faithful readers with it). This time I am going to make an exception.

I recently found out about an amazing contest going on and I filled my application form in straight away! It seems this is a perfect opportunity for me to travel again and also for you to follow me (through my blog) on this great travel adventure. This is where you come in and make it all possible for me.

So prettyprettypretty please, just click on the "VOTE FOR ME" banner above and it will take you to the BBE page where you will have to insert your e-mail and press 'vote'. You will receive an email with confirmation link you have to click, so your vote could be confirmed. You can use multiple e-mail addresses to cast multiple votes!
You have an exclusive chance to make me very happy with just a few clicks. I promise to blog extensively about the travel adventure if I make it to the top 16 finalists.

Mobile report from a ski day trip

This post is mostly about trying new things, so if you are curious what's new with me, you should keep reading.

Those of you who regularly follow this blog have probably noticed a lack of live reporting. Hopefully this has come to an end. Well, at least I can't blame the lack of technical equipment for not publishing live anymore.
Until just recently this excuse was OK due to an outdated mobile phone I had been using. Since it has started to show signs of mutiny I have been thinking about giving in and retiring it.
The same day I got a replacement, the old phone's charger went to phone heaven - talk about perfect timing... Lucky me, I guess.

So this is a test post using my new Android gadget from snow covered slopes of Slovenia. I know it is a bit late for ski season opening, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I chose one of nearby Slovenian ski resorts for this event and since it was an ordinary work day, slopes were relatively empty.
The weather was nice and in the end it was a great day altogether. Check out the photo if you won't take my word for it.

With the ski season officially opened, it is now time to get ready for our annual ski holiday in Italian Dolomites. I can hardly wait!
