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…

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.”…
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…
Sick in Budapest
Budapest is an absolutely amazing city! Unfortunately, I was sick most of the time I was there and only did a walking tour which means I will have to go back and really experience the city! The walking tour gave me a general overview of Budapest including the history and some fun little facts. One…
Things I have learned while traveling
Traveling has taught me a few things. This blog will be ever changing as my travels continue. 1) More Americans need to travel 2) Anyone who had a relationship when they started traveling probably doesn’t have one now 3) Girls are horrendous humans to be in a dorm with in terms of cleanliness 4) Sleep whenever…
Catacombs and crypts and creepiness oh my!
Finally I had a day off and decided to adventure to the catacombs of St. Callixtus. Try to imagine that this place contained the tombs of popes from the 2nd to 4th centuries. The place was a bit creepy and absolutely awesome. I planned to see a band called Red Rooster and ended up…
