I want to get licked by a giraffe, it’s been my lifelong dream since April of the same year- so I booked a trip to Tanzania. I later learned that the giraffe is their national animal. I love when I make good, thought-through life choices. My route: It takes about 2 hours to get from […]

This is going to be a patchwork quilt of a post. It’s going to feel itchy, you’ll be confused, and it’s something you should probably just let gather dust in a cupboard. Our route: I have to say, the cat situation in Bulgaria is top. Reasonably well-fed strays everywhere, and some non-strays that we followed

Why are there so many men wearing track suits in Bulgaria? It’s a genuine question, please tell me if you can unravel this mystery. Our route: When I got off the plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, it immediately smelled like I thought Bulgaria would smell, even though I’ve never been there before. Just going to let

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,

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
