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…
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+…
After Dubrovnik, Pula, and Rijeka, I thought I had Croatian coastal cities and towns somewhat figured out. When stepping into a new waterfront city or town, I’d expect to find beige stone homes, red-tiled roofs, and a medieval landmark or two (or ten) commanding the steep cliffs of the…
So Switzerland budget hacks you say? How much will I actually be able to save on train tickets? 5 Bucks? Nope. By taking advantage of the strategies showcased in this post, you’re going to save so, so, soooooo much more. If you’ve read some of other posts about Switzerland,…
Move over Oktoberfest, because there’s another citywide rager that deserves your level of appreciation. And I’m about to give it just that. I’ve been binge-watching a lot of Friends lately, and somehow, I realized that I totally missed out on Season 9. (I know. Unforgivable.) After falling into the depths…
People travel for a whole variety of reasons: to explore one-of-a-kind landscapes, experience different cultures, indulge on unique delicacies, and more. But have you ever gone on a trip in order to experience a whole other era? Huh? What? Time Travel?! Sounds like a load of nonsense. Not exactly. Of course,…
When imagining what Norway’s second largest city would look like, I didn’t envision it as an INSTANT gateway to the majestic Norwegian outdoors. Sure, I knew that there are mountains around Bergen and that it’s possible to go on a fjord cruise from Bergen, but I didn’t expect one of…
Woah. Hold on there. So many things about that title just don’t add up! Norway? Fjords? Overnight cruise? On a budget? Are you telling me that it’s actually possible to save money in Norway? Even while seeing those famous fjords? Yes, I really am. Experiencing this really may not be…
