Hi, I am Marta! Nice to meet you!
I am a Barcelona-based Polish girl that decided to become a full-time World traveler. I love exotic destinations and unique adventures. I am here to inspire you to leave your comfort zone far behind, preferably on the other continent 😉

About the blog

Why the name? Where Life is Great??

When I travel, I always look for beautiful landscapes, friendly people and unique moments. I engage with locals and try to get the most out of my travel. Does it mean that life is always great where and when I travel? Of course not, but  I believe a positive attitude and an open mind is a key to a great life. A life full of travels!

What is it all about?

Where Life is Great is a community for travel and adventure lovers who want to travel in style without breaking the bank. I want to convince you (yes, you!) that exotic destinations are not out of your reach! To travel far you don’t need a suitcase full of cash, just big dreams, and a fearless optimism will do! Get the most of your travels and have a laugh or two (or more) by reading my adventures. Excited? Go explore!

Where have you been?

I have traveled to over 40 countries and have ticked off some exciting adventures on the way. So, if you love adventures, traveling in an affordable and stylish way, you’ll feel right at home here. Expect tons of inspiration, stories, and tips from around the Globe. Check where I have been here.

A few things to know about me

Since we both know that I love travels…

…let me tell you a few things you didn’t know about me:

Turtle beach on Hawaii

//1// Turtle freak

Yes, you read that right!

I have to admit it. I’m a turtle lover… Actually, I love all kind of marine creatures! Once I even drove 9h just to see a turtle beach in Oman! And yes, there are too many exclamation marks in here…

This picture was taken in Hawaii. I went snorkeling at Molokini crater and was later meant to head to Turtle cleaning station, but the tide was high and unfortunately that stop got canceled.

As a turtle freak, I couldn’t just accept that! Instead, I took a map of Oahu and started asking locals where could I see sea turtles. This way I ended up on Turtles Beach and was happy again.

//2// Accidental Adventurer

As you can see, I am not very keen on adventure sports...

…but somehow I always end up rafting in a river full of snakes or jumping out of plane (Yikes!).

If you think that I look on this picture like I know what I am doing, better read this blog post from my skydiving experience in Dubai. My face expression after being pushed out of a plane is priceless.

Nevertheless, after the first shock, I really enjoyed it and would repeat it in a heartbeat. So don’t get me wrong, I do love adventures, but usually slightly less adrenaline fueled.

Skydive Dubai Marina

//3// Spontaneous Jetsetter

Sometimes to the extreme

And by extreme, I mean ending up on a small island in the Seychelles without accommodation nor Internet to find the accommodation…

If you ask yourself now, how on Earth can anyone just end up on Seychelles like that, without any plans, read on my friend, read on! The next point, explains it all.

...for flight tickets!

I feel like I have set a price alert for every possible country in the world! And I always manage to get some pretty sweet deals! For example, I bought tickets to Seychelles from Milan on New Year’s Eve for 300 euros, or Budapest-Dubai for 150 euros. Find out how by joining my free flight hacking course!

Me writing about myself

Still interested in knowing sth about me?

As long as I remember, I wanted to be a travel writer. As a kid, I preferred to read travel magazines than comic books, as a student I mastered the skill of finding multiple scholarships abroad, and as a young professional, I used to spend all my savings on travels.  I enjoy giving bits of advice and helping people with their travel plans. That is why I decided to create this travel blog.

After graduating from University (I studied Business) and moving to Barcelona, I chose to chase my dream of traveling for a living. I made a Master in Graphic Design, gained experience in Marketing working for tech companies and started building this website from grounds up.

So, to wrap it up, in a parallel universe, I am a designer and business graduate, crazy about innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. I generate 100 ideas per minute and can’t stand still. I love creating things (do you see a correlation?). Also, I am fearlessly optimistic. I always look at the bright side of the things – that is why I make a great travel companion. Now you know!

2020 IN REVIEW 🤩 When I think about the most ri 2020 IN REVIEW 🤩
When I think about the most ridicoulous item that I bought in 2020, one thing comes to my mind... 2020 PLANNER 😂

Originally, I was supposed to go on press trips to Lappland, Jordan ,Iran, Taiwan, California, Korea... Ha, there was a time back in January when my biggest problem was to schedule all these trips in a way that they don't overlap.

Yeah, there were moments I thought 2020 basically sucks big time, but yesterday I went through all the things that happened in 2020 and it seems to have it's good moments too:

We started the year busy traveling - spending a month on Sri Lanka, traveling straight to Lanzarote for hotel opening, then straight to Egypt for PADI campaign where I got my diver certification. After that all the rest of our travel plans got cancelled...

So, instead I wrote an e-book Unlock Instagram Income Potential (currently on sale for 5.90- link in bio!) and created my first funnel which helped me bring additional passive income to my business and replace all the lost travel income this year plus more :) (will tell you all about it in the upcoming days).

I have also launched 30-Day Influencer Challenge and had over 100+ students go through it with amazing results!

I traveled to Formentera and Ibiza on a sail boat, saw beautiful & empty Dubrovnik, rediscovered my own country (Mazury and Jastarnia in Poland) and opened my 1:1 coaching program.

All, in all, it might not been the year I imagined having but it had its good moments.

Now let’s get out of 2020 to a better 2021 🍾🙈
Getting ready to leave 2020 vs preparing for 2021 Getting ready to leave 2020 vs preparing for 2021 😂

Before I get all excited about planning, each December I do small practice that helps me improve and grow in the upcoming year.

🤩 it’s called STARFISH RETROSPECTIVE 🤩

Here is how it works:
On a piece of paper draw 5 sections. 

Each section correlates to one question: 
1️⃣What do you want to stop doing?
2️⃣What do you want to keep doing?
3️⃣What do you want to do less of?
4️⃣What do you want to do more of?
5️⃣What do you want to start doing?

It takes just 5 minutes yet helps so much with getting clear and intentional on your goals.
Black Friday is oficially here! ⠀ Are you excite Black Friday is oficially here! ⠀

⠀
So, In case you missed it, I want to show you my:⠀

Gratitude, turkey 🦃 & 31 000 new followers⠀ W Gratitude, turkey 🦃 & 31 000 new followers⠀
What all these things have in common? 🤷‍♀️⠀
⠀
Is that my ackward way to say Happy Thanksgiving?⠀
⠀
Kind of... 😄⠀
⠀
With some delicious turkey in front of you, you might look around and appreciate all the things that you have in this moment.⠀
⠀
But how often do you appreciate your own value? How often do you say thank you to yourself, your mind, your spirit and body for pushing you forward? How often do you appreciate your value enough to keep investing in yourself and your dreams?⠀
⠀
I have received a DM from a 30-Day Influencer Challenge student telling me about how she managed to gain 31 000 new followers after the course!⠀
⠀
She told me:⠀
⠀
"I started to show up differently. I followed every step you told us to take and I decided I have to be successful. If that makes sense 😅?"⠀
⠀
It does make so much sense!⠀
⠀
Shanna became a kind of person that could be called influencer before even getting 31000 new followers!⠀
⠀
Coming back to my question from the beginning:⠀
⠀
This Thanksgiving I want to remind you that gratitude is the best medicine. It heals your mind, your body and your spirit. It attracts more things to be grateful for.⠀
⠀
So how about this year you become grateful for your own value and invest in yourself? Send a signal to Universe that you want to attract more things to be grateful for!⠀
