Croatia won me over fair and square, it probably had the upper hand with its gorgeous scenery and old towns by the sea. I had no idea what to expect when I planned my trip, and I was wonderfully surprised. Split is this fantastic old Roman ruin Palace by the sea. It’s the port for many sailing trips and the door to various fabulous islands. … Continue reading DIY Croatia Sailing
I loved Siena, loved it! Scenic and small and gives you more of a feel for the local life. I spent my time in Sienna ‘Urban Hiking’ because pretty much anywhere you walked was worth seeing.

So I was pretty excited to visit Budapest myself. I can’t say that it’s my favourite, but I can definitely see why many say it’s the best. So here are some of … Continue reading Budapest is best
Somebody once told me that Vienna is like the girl that is really pretty, with no personality. While that may be true for some, I’d argue that though she is prim and proper she does have a spirited side that is waiting to come out. Regardless of the personality of Vienna there is no denying the fact that when you visit you’ve got to show … Continue reading Vienna, she’s all class.
I had no idea what to expect when coming to Poland. Who could have prepared me for the myth, the legend that is Poland. I almost don’t want to tell you what to expect because I might ruin the pleasant surprise. Kraków, a place of dragons, pierogi and of course Vodka. I loved it! I learnt that this medieval town has so much history and … Continue reading Kraków: What to expect when you’re not expecting.
