After my experience spending one day in Tallinn, Estonia thanks to a day cruise from Helsinki on the Tallink Silja, I instantly regretted having so little time. Tallinn is definitely a destination I want…

Ljubljana was the first stop on my recent Slovenia road trip, and I have to say the city really took me by surprise. For one, I wasn’t expecting it to be so photogenic. The…

Slovenia is the most underrated destination I visited this year — but not only that, it’s probably my favorite place I visited as well. That said, I wanted to focus this post on giving…

If you’re interested in traveling somewhere that looks like a 3D painting, has a variety of activities and landscapes and isn’t overrun by tourists, then a trip to Slovenia should be next on your…

Prague might just be the most beautiful European city I’ve visited to date. Yep, I stand behind that statement. And it’s funny because Prague was a last minute add-on to my recent two and…

Rome has to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe — hell, perhaps even the world. I had visited this Italian city on a whirlwind trip with family as a kid, but…

When I made the decision to join my friend Betty of NoMoon Travel on a trip to Norway in the middle of December, the chance to see the Northern Lights for the first time…

Over the course of our three days in Edinburgh, I was on a serious mission. A caffeine mission, that is. Edinburgh has a surprisingly cool independent coffee scene. It wasn’t what I expected from…
