I decided that after going to Rijeka last year, I wanted to make 2024 the year that I visited all the Balkan capitals (except for seeing the second city of Kosovo). You can read about my trips to these cities by clicking on the following links: Zagreb Podgorica Ljubljana Belgrade Prizren Skopje was the last […]

Mein superschneller Trip nach Nürnberg
One of the reasons I wanted to visit Nuremberg is because I have a keen interest in World War 2. Nuremberg was the place chosen for the trials after the war. Nuremberg was also chosen as a place to host pre-war rallies. I was here in November 2022 but it was only to go from […]
Hà Nội: Anh Đến Vì Em
Today was the day we landed in Hanoi. I was so glad to be off that awful flight. The company we flew with – VietJet Air – has to be one of the worst I have flown with. They are a budget airline that flies internationally but doesn’t charge budget airline prices! The plane was […]
काठमाडौ यता म आउछु
I was looking forward to this part of the trip as I had always wanted to go to Nepal. The pictures of the Himalayas make it look amazing. There is just something about mountains and snow-covered ones at that. I was so glad when I had it booked. I was excited for it. I guess […]
मैंने अंततः भारत जाने का निर्णय लिया (दिल्ली/आगरा/जयपुर)
This post, and the two that follow, will talk about our trip to India, Nepal & Vietnam. This trip was a long time coming and it seemed to take a while to come around after we booked it. I think we had about 6 months between booking it and when we were due to leave. […]
Udhëtimi im në Prizren (Më në fund) / Moj put u Prizren (konačno)
In my quest to visit all of the former Yugoslav countries, Kosovo was on this list. I tried to get there earlier in the year but, for one reason or another, I wasn’t able to make it. I was determined that I would get there (since I only had 2 more of the countries to […]
Dublin – The Trip That Almost Wasn’t / Baile Átha Cliath – An Turas Beagnach É
As it had been a few years since my last visit I figured it was time to come back and visit. I booked my flights about a month ago (when they were cheap at a time I could travel) and then looked in earnest for somewhere to stay. The prices of the accommodation had skyrocketed […]
My Super Quick Trip to Edinburgh
In my quest for 2024 to be the year I average 1 flight per week, I started to look for flights closer to home to see what was available. Ryanair flies to Edinburgh and Belfast. They were both £14.99 each way. I have never been to Edinburgh so I decided that’s where I would go. […]
Snel naar Amsterdam, Purmerend, Utrecht en Zaandam
When I was deciding where I wanted my next trip I was thinking about places I have been and videos I have seen on YouTube. I must admit that one of the videos on YouTube got my attention and this is what helped me decide on the Netherlands. The video is from a train driver […]
Mój czwarty wyjazd do Gdańska (z szybką wizytą w Bydgoszczy i Toruniu)
I decided that since it had been a while (2023) since I was last in Poland I should try and find a way back there. I started in earnest looking at flights to Poland and decided I would go wherever the flights were cheapest. It turns out this was Gdansk. This worked out quite well […]
