I learned how to do my own graffiti and it was AWESOME!

I have been on quite a few graffiti tours around the world, but I have never had the luxury of heading into a warehouse and trying out my hand at my own piece. The Alternative Street Art tour in Berlin let’s you do just that! Graffiti is 100% illegal in Berlin however, there are only…

My last stop in Greece…Heraklion

After almost two weeks in Greece it was time for one final stop in one of the largest cities…Heraklion. After moving around a bit and going out more than usual, I just wanted to relax and recharge my batteries and stay of the sun!          We were staying at a hotel about 30…

Santorini for the second time

When I went to Greece last year and went to Santorini, I found it to be quintessential Greece. It is everything you think of when you think of Greece; blue and white!  My friend and I ended up staying at this great hostel/hotel just a 3minute drive outside of town called Caveland. This was an…

Mykonos

The Greek Islands have anywhere from 1,200-6,000 islands depending on what you consider an island. As you can imagine, deciding which ones to actually go to can be a daunting task. There are some major islands that most people and cruises go to and Mykonos is one of those. I heard it was a bit of a…

Athens during the referendum

I went to Athens last year and did all of the touristy stuff so when I went again this year I took the time to relax and do laundry and regroup. What I didn’t know when I booked the trip is that I would be there smack dab in the middle of a huge financial…

Corfu

I went to Corfu because when I was in Saranda, Albania last year I had wanted to go but couldn’t enter the Schengen again. This is a very large island in the Greek Islands and I was not sure what to expect. I was traveling with a friend and we stayed at a place called…

Naples and Pompeii

I have been fascinated by Pompeii or rather the destruction of it since I can remember. I was already in Rome, and Naples is just an hour train ride away and the perfect jumping point to go see Pompeii. I was told to stay away from Naples because it was dangerous and dirty and not…

I went to Rome and only saw one thing…The Yellow

The Yellow is a hostel that I worked at for 6 weeks last year where I met a ton of people. Some people I randomly saw again and others I made a point to meet up with again and then there were those I just never got to know. But there was a specific group of people…

Gaudi, Gaudi everywhere!

I wasn’t sure what to expect of Barcelona since I had never been and had not been back to Spain since 1998! I only had two days so I spent the first day being the ultimate tourist and jumped on a city sightseeing tour. I must say, this was the perfect thing for this city…

I’m back on another adventure!

I know I have been MIA for a few, but I do have to work to fund these travels. But, I am back at it again for a few month trip to South America and Europe! It all started with a new backpack and a drop off at SFO for what should have been an easy…
