A Local Krakow Food Tour You Will Want to Go on

07/27/2019 8 Comments

It started with a beer and it ended with some cheesecake. If it were a typical food tour, I probably wouldn’t have to tell you much else. However when you take a local Krakow food tour with Urban Adventures, it’s always so much more than your typical touristy tour that hurdles you from one overpriced restaurant to another.

I’ve been on tours with Urban Adventures in London, Budapest and Prague, so I was excited to see how they did things in Krakow when I visited the city back in early June. I had a rough knowledge of Polish cuisine, but there was a lot I could learn. So Alex from East Coast Contessa and I went on the Food by Foot tour.

A Historic Prague Hotel in the City Centre

07/23/2019 5 Comments

Sometimes a simple change of location lets you see a place from a new perspective. Last month, I stayed in the Appia Residences Prague for the first time. However it was not my first time in Prague. I had been to the city several times a few summers ago when I spent several months working in the Czech Republic. The visits were nice but short. So this time around, it was nice to enjoy the city from the comforts of a historic Prague hotel.

The Perfect Krakow Holiday Apartment

06/25/2019 7 Comments

If you’re looking for something in between a hostel dorm and a 5-star luxury suite, a holiday apartment might be just the thing you need! When I went to Krakow, Poland a few weeks ago with my blogger friend, we stayed in the perfect Krakow Holiday Apartment!

The apartment is rented out by the Secret Garden Hostel. However don’t let the name fool you because Secret Garden is not your typical hostel. For starters, none of their rooms are dorm-style. So for those of you who feel a bit anxious to share your space with strangers, you don’t have to worry! Their room options range from a single room all the way up to a two-bedroom apartment that could sleep up to six people. Alex from East Coast Contessa and I stayed in one of their two-bedroom apartments!

Your Guide to Gozo Island, Malta

05/19/2019 1 Comment

No trip to the beautiful Mediterranean country of Malta is complete without a visit to Gozo Island. Sitting next to the main island of Malta, Gozo is like Malta’s cool cousin. She’s a bit smaller and more calm, but just as beautiful as the rest of the country. In April, I spent six days in Malta. Two of them were spent on Gozo Island. Here is your guide to Gozo Island.

A Gozo Island Luxury Hotel, the perfect Malta escape

05/12/2019 6 Comments

I recently had a little escape to Malta. Part of my 6-day solo trip was treating myself to a bit of luxury. What better way to do that than at Gozo Island Luxury Hotel? After all, Gozo is a true escape from the busier main island of Malta.

Last month, I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Duke Boutique Hotel in the city of Victoria on Gozo Island in Malta. So I thought I’d share some of the details with you all as I would highly recommend spending some time on the lovely island of Gozo if you make a trip to Malta.

One thing that I always love to share with readers is how to travel cheap or free. There’s this myth out there that you have to spend hundreds on things like flights, hotels and food. While you most certainly can travel this way, there are alternatives where you can see the world without breaking the bank.

I have many different tips on how to travel on a budget. However in this post, I’m going to talk about accommodation. Here are five different ways in which you can get cheap or free accommodation. Forget shelling out 100€ a night!

Murcia, Spain Weekend in my Red Dress

05/05/2019 1 Comment

Back in February, I took a long weekend trip to Murcia, Spain. In Spain, we have these things called puentes. A puente is a bridge. It also means when you have several days off of work or school that coincide with a weekend. I had one of these back in February, so I used it to go visit a friend.

Have you heard of Murcia, Spain? Unless you’ve spent some time in Spain, you probably haven’t. Before my long weekend in Murcia, I had heard a little bit about the region. I knew that it was in the southeast corner of Spain and that there were some good beaches in the region. It had been on my list for awhile, so when my friend moved there to teach this fall, I made plans to go visit her.

The Cutest Hostel in Barcelona

05/03/2019 5 Comments

On my way to the airport to fly to sunny Malta, I decided to spend a night in the cutest hostel in Barcelona. After all, it was Semana Santa (Spring break). I had the time, so I figured I might as well go up a day early as to not feel as rushed.

One thing I love writing about is how to travel on a budget. I find that so many people think that travel has to be expensive. They think that any trip to Europe costs thousands of dollars or euros. However it doesn’t have to break the bank. That’s why I love writing about places like Primavera Hostel.

There’s one German city that you surely don’t want to miss. While you might be thinking of Berlin or Munich, I’m actually not talking about either one of those wonderful cities. No. I’m talking about the enchanting city of Dresden. In early March, I had the privilege of spending two days in Dresden, Germany.

In this post, I’m going to lay out all the things that Alex from East Coast Contessa and I did during our time in the city. Here you will find all the places we visited and ate at.

A Quick Trip to Burgos, Spain

04/16/2019 8 Comments

One of the things that I love about Spain is that I don’t have to travel far to experience something new. Burgos, Spain was a city that I hadn’t yet been to. After finding a good deal on a hotel room, I decided to make a quick trip to Burgos, Spain.

Where is Burgos?

If you haven’t spent much time in Spain, you might not have heard of this small yet charming city. It’s located in the Northern region of Castilla y Leon. By bus, it’s about an hour and a half from where I live.
