Don’t get me wrong – having access to hundreds of virtual tours and live feeds when we can’t physically access thousands of destinations is an incredible thing. We can take a peek inside the Louvre, meander through Walt Disney World, or check out a bird’s-eye view of Paris from the top…
Loads, and I mean LOADS, of Polish cities beyond Krakow and Warsaw are popping up as perfect city breaks these days. In the past year alone, I’ve seen the volume of posts about Gdansk, Wroclaw, Poznan, and even Zakopane SKYROCKET. And yes, I do my due diligence and see what’s…
When trying to think of a name for my blog way way back in 2015, (yup, it’s been a while), I thought about including my obsession with mountains, beaches, AND forests all in a single name. Sadly, I didn’t think names like “Fern to Seaweed” or “Moss to Algae”…
BIG STATEMENT HERE: There is no better way to explore Europe than by renting a car and heading out on an epic road trip. Unlike taking a bus, train, or plane, a car gives you the true freedom to go basically anywhere you please anytime you please. You don’t…
I honestly can’t remember where and when I first stumbled upon Sonogno, Switzerland, but I am eternally grateful I did. It may have been through one of those epic travel Instagram accounts like @bestplaces_togo, or it may have been through a small Italian hostel’s “what to do” list back in…

I have a love-and-hate relationship with winter. I firmly believe that snow-covered landscapes are nothing less than absolutely beautiful, and a bright red sky during a blizzard at night is completely mesmerizing. I’ll rarely refuse an opportunity to hit the slopes, build a snow fort (yes, I’m an adult),…
Julmarknad in Swedish, Weihnachtsmarkt in German, Marché de Noël in French, and Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy in Polish (yeah, that one’s a mouthful). These are some of my favourite words during the holiday season, because they all translate to “Christmas Market.” And I LOVE Christmas Markets. When living in Sweden,…
Hands down, one of my favourite things to do in a new city is to walk around. For hours and hours. 30° C or -30° C. I’ll do it and I’ve done it. And when I ended up getting two ridiculously rare sunny and warm Fall days in Bergen,…
I’m not actually crazy, but sometimes, I do crazy things. And I usually do them when I travel. From accidentally getting a hold of a hotel’s master key to exploring abandoned buildings (with common sense, of course), befriending metal bands, and ignoring the need for sleep while travelling 30+…
