We already had a plan to go somewhere at the end of October. But we really did not know where to go. It was all so expensive so we just tried to find something cheap.   After a while of searching we found Crete for just €575,00 for one week inclusive the flight and the apartment. We booke…

It was raining, now, as we travel on. We enter town and make a path along Tjornin for a fantastic evening view of old town. We dropped off all staying downtown and continued through the quaint streets making out way parallel to the harbor. I enjoy my final view of the many charming colorful cottage…

We arose early and went to breakfast at a little restaurant near the hotel called Cafeteria Veneto.  We had some churros, tortillas de patatas, and coffee.  It was a great meal!  We took the #53 bus again towards Sol.   Once again, this time due to construction, we could no…

  Honestly I really had no clue of what to expect from these meetups. I had decided in the last minute to fly to Amsterdam and meet some of my travbuddies, the people that I have been chatting with for awhile.  Being this was my first meetup I was excited to finally the people behind th…

This morning it was raining cats and dogs in Ronda and temperature was below 10 degrees. We therefore decided to abandon our plans to visit Gibraltar and headed straight for Malaga, where our plane would leave this evening. We crossed a long and winding road through the mountains here a speed of mo…

“Nothing is simpler than to lose oneself in Venice and nothing is more fun than to be in this labirinth without a Minotaur, as a Theseus without an Ariadne's thread.". On your Venice trip you will discover that Venice itself is the main attraction. 1. The venetians were well known for their love…

This is always the worst part of the trip. The realization that it's time to go home. I don't think I've ever been ready to go home, no matter how long I've been away.This time is especially hard, having to leave my friend behind again for at least half a year, maybe more. We'd spent 3 weeks, …

This morning I woke up and realized that Italy is stuck in the 80's.  Between the non-stop 'Party Music' infomercial with the dancing girl in leotards, and the MTV wake-up show playing all the 80's hits (Walk like an Egyptian), and the desk clerk with a mullet, I was feeling very retro.  …

As is my unfortunate normal habit, I was up and about much earlier than intended on Saturday morning.  Being the adventurous traveler that I am, I decided to go on a Lion safari through the wild, untamed heart of Leeuwarden (Leeuw means Lion in Dutch). I started in front of my hotel, the very…
