Maribor

The last few months of 2022 have seemed to fly by! With small trips (Linz, Regensburg, Dresden), a 2-week visit to America (sister's wedding) and the holidays, I didn't have any time to write about my week-long stay in Maribor, Slovenia at the beginning of November. The Maribor Crest My trip to Slovenia was a …

Birthday Travels Year V- Regensburg, Germany

Whelp, I've finally hit the big 3-0. So, do I feel any older? Nope. Any wiser? Absolutely not. Still insistent on birthdays abroad? Oh, yeah. And this year, the location was Regensburg, Germany. Now, I have been to many places that I would say are highly and unjustly underrated. Regensburg, unfortunately, takes the cake on …

Linz

Tucked away in the mountains, Linz is a small, yet totally underrated city. In fact, Linz is often looked over to make time for more popular destinations, such as Vienna, Salzburg, and Hallstatt. And I'm not going to lie, it wasn't top on my list until I started to look for cities more close to …

Berlin.

Really, I'm ashamed that it's taken me so long to get to Berlin. With direct buses and trains in under 5 hours from Prague, it should have been somewhere I had gone my first year in Europe. Especially as a history lover. With air travel being so crazy right now (flights being delayed/canceled, or missing …

Birthday Travels Year IV- Poland

With things being a little less crazy than last year (?), I was again able to travel for my birthday. As my birthday falls the day before a Czech national holiday, Vojta was able to take a few extra days off from work and come with me! We waited last minute to plan things though …

List of To-Do’s in Liberec

Liberec doesn't get the attention it deserves. Only an hour bus ride from Prague, this small city is typically cast aside (or simply unheard of) for the likes of tourist destinations, such as Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary, and Kutná Hora. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy visiting all of these places. It's just a mystery …

Santorini- The Perfect Remedy

Prague is a gorgeous city to live in. And really, the whole of the Czech Republic should not be overlooked as a place to explore. I feel that I have been incredibly lucky to live here while travel has been limited over the past year and a half now.  That being said, I was super …

Summertime Amidst the COVID Pandemic

Due to the ongoing issue the world is currently facing, the summer of 2020 has been a bit different than previous summers (to understate the obvious). Fortunately, the Czech Republic was quick to act back in March by shutting down schools and unnecessary events and making it a requirement to wear a mask. As such, …

A Combination of Fairytales and Nightmares

***Note: I wrote this a few days before the Czech Republic went into lockdown due to the Coronavirus. As the crisis grew exponentially direr each day, it felt wrong to post this entry- one that encourages travel- with the future being so uncertain. Today (May 25), however, the Czech Republic has officially reopened almost everything …

Christmas Time in Kraków

Yes, I am fully aware that I am writing about Christmas time well over a month after the Christmas season has ended. What can I say? I've had a busy January. And better late than never. Especially when it comes to talking about Kraków. To get to and from Kraków, I took an overnight bus …
