I take 0 credit for that yummy title. Nestled between France and Spain, sits Andorra. Originally, I thought people were mispronouncing some region of Spain that I never heard of. Turns out it’s a country? When I got off the 3 hour bus from Barcelona, I read a sign that the capital, Andorra la Vella, […]

Barcelona is a treat. The last time I went, I was heading to La Tomatina in Brunol back in 2013. As I typed that I don’t even remember if that’s true. No, it is. Anywho, this time around I wanted to see inside the Sagrada Familia and other Gaudi works because last time I didn’t

I stayed outside of the center at Hyatt Place Krakow. It was a bit of a jaunt into the center, but I needed a name-branded hotel after my spicay, distrusting stay in the Gran Canaria. There was a tram stop right out front of the hotel, but most trams only accept coins in their machines-

Our Peruvian story last left off with the hero’s (me and my cousin, obviously) mesmerising ascent towards the ancient Inca Sun Gate, the original entranceway for the mystical Machu Picchu- followed by a free t-shirt. Hard to say what impressed me more. Snaking our way down towards the ruins, we experienced our last moments of

10 out of 10 would recommend hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (known as machu eat-chu up to some), keep in mind it isn’t something you can just roll out of bed and put on pants for. It requires a little more prep than that. when to book My cousin and I were planning

After a month of having a grand time travelling Europe, the question on everyone’s mind is is it worth getting an Interrail/ Eurail pass? Yes, but not if you’re planning to go to Eastern Europe: Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia etc. you will not get any value for the pass here. There are either no trains

Italy really puts the rail in Eurail. so that’s why I decided to take a ferry from Durres, Albania to Bari, Italy- so I could use my train pass. From Bari, I headed north to Rimini. How did I end up in the relaxed seaside town of Rimini for 4 nights? Bit of background info,

arriving in Bari from Durres, Albania I thought Bari would be a bit icky because it has a massive ferry port situation going on, but it still has a little somethin, somethin. On the web (do people still say that?)– I’ll answer for you, no– you’ll see there is a street (Arco Basso) where adorable

My Albania route: The day before I left Gjirokaster, I walked into a shop that could have been an information center or someone’s house. There was a woman sitting so I asked her if there was a direct bus to Durres, she got up and looked at some papers adorning the walls that seemed to

Just like my sugary, bus-station lemon tea, Gjirokaster is steep. I got dropped off on the side of the main, flat road. This is where you will find a Lidl, a Credins Bank atm that doesn’t charge fees and good restaurants with decent prices. Once you begin scaling the mountain to your accommodation (assuming you’re
