Everything that you desire. Nothing that you fear. What are you afraid of? • • Jasmina Cibic's exhibition "This Machine Builds Nations" at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead inspired me to think about my life and what I'm afraid of. In the past, I would have told you I was afraid to not have enough money in my bank or to not being able to afford something but today I know I am mostly afraid of not visiting places I always wanted to visit, not having those conversations with people I love that I wanted to have, not spending time to slow down and appreciate mornings with a cup of coffee or tea in your bed. When you travel around the world, you realise numbers in your bank accounts will not matter when you arrive to the last stop but memories and conversations will. • • So what are you afraid of? #enroutewithakvile

Missing beach days for sure. Last time I walked along the beach with shoes in my hand and sunshine in my face was back in December when we swapped cold British winter for a warm Spanish one. Since then I've been dreaming and planning our perfect beach destination this summer and you've probably heard me million times saying that we are off to French Riviera in June and it is my very first time in France! I've planned to visit Nice, Cannes, St. Tropez, Monaco, Menton and more... and I couldn't be more excited. • • What about you? Are you going somewhere this summer?Share with me your plans! #enroutewithakvile

Let's talk about viewing the world from a window. How many times you were on your way to a new place thinking 'I wonder what's the view going to be like from a place we are staying at?' I think about it all the time. Whether it's going to be spectacular views of the ocean or maybe a view of the neighbourhood buildings, it always feels exciting to open that window into a new city. Spanish cities have a special feeling with gorgeous architecture and national flags hanging outside, it somehow makes you appreciate their culture that little bit more. • • What view left you the best memories? Where was it? #enroutewithakvile

Every month I try to set up a new goal for myself because I'm easily bored and I don't like feeling empty or as if I'm wasting my time. It does not have to be big things but I feel like 12 goals over a year is a pretty good deal, right? • • So this month I'm concentrating on learning to be me and doing things that make me happy. Sounds easy, agree? Wish it was just as that! For years, I felt as if I was planning things I wanted to do but there was always something stopping me. You know those 'I'll look/sound stupid', 'It's not going to work out', 'Other people are better than me' excuses? I would talk myself out of doing something before I even started because I cared too much about what everyone else thinks. I would not take pictures I wanted to take because of that. I would not record a video because of that. I would not taste something I wanted to because of that. So this time I'm following @garyvee advice and #MaketheWorldSilent • • What’s a goal you’re working towards right now?! #enroutewithakvile

Have I got any sports enthusiasts over here? • • All my life I've been always surrounded by sports. Whether it was basketball in my native Lithuania or football in Germany, I always liked that feeling of belonging somewhere. Now when I travel, I like to incorporate sports events to my itineraries as I believe they play an important role in a city's culture. When we went to Barcelona, Camp Nou stadium was a must. When we went to Munich, watching FC Bayern play Champions League game at Allianz arena was pretty non-negotiable too. The Allianz Arena was built in 2005 for the upcoming World Cup and by many football enthusiasts the stadium is called a modern piece of German engineering with a perfect setting for 21st century football. I could not disagree with that either! • • Do you like to experience local sports events when travelling? #enroutewithakvile

From a very young age, I've always been mesmerised by bird migration. When my mum first told me about it, I thought it absolutely made sense. Birds migrate to a place that's better for them at that time of the year. Why won't people do it ?, I wondered. Imagine having that all year round pleasure of bright days and warm weather, no freezing in your house thinking about having to walk to the shop for some bread and milk. • • If you were able to migrate between seasons, where would you like to go when winter hits the ground? I think I would like to spend my winter days in Spain or Canary Islands when winters are mild and lovely. I would not want hot winters, I would like a break from heat and sweat but I would love to be able to walk along the beach with only a little jacket on sipping a cold drink. #enroutewithakvile
