When it comes to Bavaria, one thing I still haven't been able to fully grasp is the weather, with winter being no exception to that statement. We've had snow covering the ground, and the next week a thin long sleeve shirt is plenty despite what the forecast is showing. Right now we have a full… Continue reading Winter in Bavaria
Plzeň, Česká Republika 🇨🇿 With winter being here, I figured it was about time for me to start sharing the adventures we had almost a year ago, so that people can get ideas of what to do on a day the weather warms up and the skies are clear.

This trip was completely unplanned. My friend that was living in Belgium, had his parents stopping by in Amsterdam for the weekend and I somewhat just tagged along. So we hopped on a train and got off in Amsterdam, arriving there in the afternoon to meet up with his parents. After saying our hello's we… Continue reading Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Bologna in one night. Best tortellini I've had!
First stop: Budapest, Hungary. How I managed another new currency, my first hostel stay and reality of walking, a lot.
