My complete 12-day Portugal route was: Faro Faro airport to town is not within walking distance but you can catch public transport bus number 16 which costs 2.35, (you purchase from the bus driver using cash). The last stop is the bus station and it is almost in the town centre, from there you can […]
I scooted down to southern France for a little 10 day adventure. My route: City of Love Nothing makes you hate hand-holding more than being single in the City of Love. However, I was re-reading Harry Potter so I was guaranteed to have a good time. So I did. I took my book to the

Berlin is eccentric. People have tattoos and dyed purple hair. My first impression of Berlin was that it is made up of memorials and kebab shops. Is that rude? Maybe, but I would rather hurt you with truths than with lies. That being said, kebabs are delicious so I don’t see that as a negative.

I have my rant pants on so brace yourselves. I pull up a chair at a fancy, waterfront restaurant. Three dollar signs ($$$)! That is two and a half more than normal. This is relevant because it means I didn’t skimp. In the breezy, island weather, what would satisfy my taste buds is seafood soup.

Malta, Malta, Malta. You sly fox, I almost didn’t see you there tucked down near northern Africa. You’re so small, I had sea views from the balcony of my hotel which was situated in the centre of the island. True story. When you first strut up to the capital Valletta you realise that the entire

The first time I went to Prague, the city went straight to the top of my all-time favs list. I went back recently and it’s still magic, just throw in a few (hundred) more tourists and security control around the castle. I went up the Old Town Hall Tower this time, which has a wonderful view

As a Dutch gal, or any SANE person really, I am obsessed with cheese. Due to this, I am going to write about it now. Czech Cheese Korbacky: I didn’t know the Czech did cheeses but it once came to me on a platter in Prague so I was destined to taste it. Like the Greek
I have five friends so naturally when three of them came to visit I tried to impress them. I failed miserably. I was living “outside” the city in a place called Amstelveen so that didn’t help. Years later when my brother and sister-in-law came to visit, I lived closer to the city centre in Buitenveldert
