I’ve always wanted to walk into a little Italian village and see the Nonnas (Italian Grandmothers) sitting on the side of the street making fresh pasta and gossiping about everyone and everything around them, but after travelling through Italy once before and only making it to the big tourist cities; I thought my dream would …
Dubrovnik a.k.a King’s Landing was definitely way busier than I had been expecting. Apparently before Game of Thrones filmed there it was just a regular tourist destination, but after the series took off, so did the tourism. Being there in the height of summer was pure craziness. Luch and I might not have been the …

So travelling to Split started out with one major delay with our train leaving an hour later than planned and somehow we just kept losing more and more time as we travelled along. I just felt terrible for making our Airbnb hosts wait so long. I kept having to update them where we were and …
What did we love about Zagreb? Our accommodation for one. We had booked an apartment on Airbnb, not actually knowing anything about the area it was in and this hadn’t always worked out for us in the past. This time however, we were super lucky. It might not have been in the hustle and bustle …

Bled, or Lake Bled as I was commonly calling it on our travels around Europe ended up being one of those places that I won’t ever forget. I had only looked it up while I was planning our two month trip and found it on the Busabout website as a place to visit. Not knowing …

When you’re on a super strict budget, you start to appreciate the little things. The little things like having four grocery stores within a two block radius from your accommodation and having an aircon to come home to after a super long day of walking around and taking in all the sights on foot. We …

Before I left South Africa, the only time I had ever heard of Bratislava was when it was mentioned on the movie Eurotrip. Not only that, but they made it out to be this terrible, post war Eastern European country with rundown buildings and miserable people everywhere. After my mom did an Eastern European trip …

The first thing my mom said to me on listening to a video I had made about our trip around Hallstatt, was “Where is Hallstatt?”. Apparently she had never heard of it before and neither had I until just before we left for our trip. For the record, it is in Austria. I’m sure a …

Our first experience of Prague was actually before we’d even reached it. We had a major train delay and ended up missing our second train and running for the third which we made it to with only a minute to spare. It definitely wasn’t the first or last time that this would happen to us …

Warsaw was kind of a blur. By the time we got there, all the European cities were starting to mend into one big place and that is totally evident if I listen to the recording I made of Warsaw and what we got up to. I struggled to remember much of anything we got up …
