I did a little day trippy to Hallstatt from Salzburg (about 2.5 hours one way by public transport). I know it’s blown up on da gram, but it’s a goodie. I hated everything about that sentence. But genuinely, it’s really picturesque. hallstatt from salzburg by public transport I caught the 150 bus at 08:15 from […]

I had to Google what riding the rails meant in case it was something dirty. It’s not unless you translate it into another language. I was trying for a play on words with interrail/ eurail (depending on where your home base is). I crunched some numbers (not really) – since last minute train tickets are

Through a series of unfortunate events, I booked remote working with my friend in Slovenia in July 2022, but then a few months later when we arrived, I ended up not working while he had to still work (don’t ask). itinerary I always think 6 a.m. flights are a good idea when I see the

Greece is one of my favs. This time around, we picked a place where we could fly non-stop from Amsterdam. One of the few islands where this was the case back in 2016 was Zakynthos. I Googled the island and after seeing Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach) I yelled TAKE MY MONEY because I was sold.

I wanted to go to Colmar since the day I was born and so I went last weekend. Although I prefer trains, the 8+ hour journey and hefty price tag forced me to take a plane from Amsterdam. The closest/ easiest connection to Colmar is either Basel, Switzerland or Strasbourg, France. Sort by price =

As I mentioned in my Christmas Market list, we ( I say we because I wrote this years ago) originally went to Lille for the purpose of seeing a Christmas market- sort of. On the NS international train website, we saw that it would be a nice day trip from Amsterdam (it’s 3.5 hours now

It’s that Christmas Market time of year again. Yup, I completely ignored the fact that I haven’t written in 2 million years but let’s just all stop bringing that up. Wintertime in Europe is idyllic. Yes, the weather is sub-par in most countries, but the December days bring Christmas markets. Some are well-known ones like

Cambridge is not the most convenient hub for day trips using public transport especailly not to Lavenham. I’ve found that out through hours of research resulting in carpal tunnel. You end up needing to travel south back through London in order to get to other destinations. That’s not to say it can’t be done- but
