I took another overnight train but this time without a border crossing. I had a sleeper train again and this time it was a triple decker. Surprisingly, I slept like a baby and luckily I was on the bottom bunk. After the sleeper train took me to my first stop at 7:02am (still in Romania), I…

Bucharest, Romania
A lot of people have an image of Romania that is a bit negative and a little old school. Romania has come a long way in history and Bucharest is an amazing city to visit in the country! First, let me start off with the fact that my journey from Bulgaria to here involved a two hour…
Another Bulgarian city
I decided that I couldn’t just spend one day in Bulgaria and be done with it, so I headed to Plovdiv. Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria but it feels much smaller. I originally only booked two nights in the this town and ended up staying for five nights! I stayed at this…
One day in Sofia
I arrived to Ten Coins Hostel in Sofia, Bulgaria around 7:00am absolutely exhausted! Why so exhausted? Let me recap the previous 14 hours. Rushed to my bus since I was an idiot and had the wrong time on my computer and barely made it. Took a 12 hour overnight bus from Athens to Sofia that I…
Quick swing through Athens
Since my ferry ride did not turn out like it was meant to, I have two full days to explore Athens. I spent the day walking around the city and headed to the one museum open on a Monday. I thought the National Archaeological Museum would be incredibly interesting considering the history of Greece. I was…
Ios is just like Cancun…or Cabo…or spring break anywhere
Going into my little Greek Islands trip, I knew that Ios would be a lot different than Santorini. I just had no idea HOW different it would be! We stayed at Far Out which is known as a party hostel and I was prepared to be there. However, when I got there, I realized the…
A childhood dream realized
I’m in Greece! Greece! I keep saying it to myself and I cannot believe it. Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to travel to Greece and Egypt. Egypt will have to wait for another trip (as of now). When people ask me, “how are you?” I often reply with “living the dream.”…
24 hours of travel to span 1095 miles
Sometimes getting from one place to another place that look seemingly close on a map, can end up taking almost 24 hours. I needed to get from Prague to Santorini and the cheapest flight happened to be Prague to Santorini via Copenhagen with a 12 hour layover. I decided to actually leave the airport and…
Self guided walking tour of Prague
I lost my Fitbit somewhere between Rome and Split and really wish I had it for the day I had walking around Prague. It all started with a mission to the post office (open basically 24 hours a day) to mail post cards I have had since Germany (May)! After that it was a walk…
Museums, museums and museums
Today was a Prague museum crawl day. It all started with an Andy Warhol exhibit at the Gallery of Art Prague. I have seen Andy Warhol plenty of times in various museums, but I have never seen a Warhol exhibition. Many of the famous pieces were there as well as a few that I…
