Mama Mia! It’s Zakynthos and Kefalonia
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.…

Amsterdam wrapped up
After a covid-y cock up where I moved to Edinburgh, back to the fam-jam in Canada, to England, and then back to Amsterdam – I am currently living in the EXACT room where I stayed 5 years ago (good thing I don’t compare myself to other people or I would be so embarrassed right now).…

Make sure to wear some flowers in your hair
More like if you’re going to San Francisco make sure to avoid the Tenderloin area. Now calling an area of the city Tenderloin makes it sound like it will be delicious and juicy- but fool us once- it is in fact the spot with the highest crime rate and homelessness issues in this golden city.…

A Lille daytrip from Amsterdam
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…

First time in Paris
Paris. Thy city of love. Thy was a typo but I am just going to leave it because it’s fancy English. Paris is great for non-in-love people too but some neh sayers say neh neh. I say to them, have a Parisian macaron you day-old couch fart! Then tell me you don’t love Paris. The…

15+ Actually Free (not pretend) Things To Do In Edinburgh
Sure, being unemployed and broke in Edinburgh limits your adventures. Your daily dose of fun consists of you going to the discount supermarket Lidl for groceries. Should I get on-sale apples or on-sale bananas today? THRILLING. While this is a part of it, there are many more fun times to be had in the capital.…

The Progression of Travel
It started out as me needing to be back in Europe. After a fantastic, HAlarious (this is how I used to think the word was spelt) time on my trip to Spain with my high school Spanish class in 2006, I was greedy for more. My first trip abroad without the folks or teachers was to Greece at 18 with my bestie.…

My House in Bucharest and Timișoara
Someone compared Bucharest to Berlin and I was like ummm nice try. Yes, yes, the dark gray clouds, -1 real feel, November time doesn’t always show a city in the nicest of light, but I assure you, the light wasn’t the problem. I saw all major sites, including walking around the Palace of Parliament, which…
