Girona in Spain is very Italian, if you ask me. Nobody did, but I share that opinion with everyone I meet. Bit sus. It’s a beaut. Apparently they filmed season 6 GoT here (do we all hate that I used the abbrev.). You can reenact the shame, shame, shame scene till your heart’s content. There […]
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-

When leaving the Warsaw airport, if you want to catch the bus into town, don’t follow the ‘coach’ signs- they lead you to the long distances buses. When I went through the doors at arrivals, there wasn’t clear signage- but I always say that when I don’t pay attention and put 2% effort into looking

From Cambridge, you can easily do a cheeky day trip to London, England (there is one in Canada as well, don’t mix them up) since it’s only about an hour by train. eat. If you want to convince me to marry you for under 40 quid, just take me to my favourite restaurant- Flat Iron.

I forgot for a minute there that I lived in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This post is a blast from 2021 past. I had to look up the year because from 2020-2023 I have no memory of this place. I do remember that my accommodation was near a Lidl supermarket, which I was jazzed about because

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

Yes, our inca trail tour company (Orange Nation) did provide snacks. I know that is your biggest concern before you’re about to hike 43 kilometers over 4 days, in savagely high altitudes with a broken tailbone. On top of the ones provided by the tour company, I brought my own snacks, obviously, and ate some
