Lessons from Romanian Taxi Drivers

December 2, 2017 / castle, Romania, travel

  “In this spot you’ll see many crosses.” Our taxi driver from the Bucharest Airport had spent the last twenty minutes pointing out various plazas, buildings, and neighborhoods he thought might interest us. “They’re here as a memorial. Many people died here 27 years ago. I was there.” He went on to tell us that […]

Exploring Lokrum

August 14, 2017 / Croatia, solo, summer, travel

Arriving in Dubrovnik with my short-term travel companions made the journey much more fun and relaxing (for me) than expected. By the time I had trudged up a million stairs with my oversized suitcase to my Airbnb, I was ready to meet up with my family and do some exploring. My Aunt Nancy, cousins Emma […]

Tour Day in Herzegovina

August 6, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, tour, travel

While there are countless benefits that I could go on and on about to traveling alone (and probably will soon), I briefly encountered one negative aspect during the first leg of my trip.    I’d researched all different tours that I was hoping to book, but when I finally went to book them I couldn’t- […]

Why I Loved Mostar

July 29, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, travel

I spent most of my time in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a kind of giddy delirium. I was so happy from the moment I stepped off the bus from Split, Croatia and into the astounding heat of Mostar. Giddy, sweaty, and exhausted. I’m not proud to say that my first act in Bosnia was a […]

My New Bosnian Boyfriend

July 17, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, souvenirs, travel

  The other day I learned a little about local souvenirs in Mostar. The colorful bronze trays I was originally drawn to are actually Turkish! It’s the pure bronze (or bronze and tin) etchings that are local. I think I need a good story and tradition to commit to a souvenir. I’d been stopping everywhere […]

In Venice Once Again

May 3, 2017 / Italy

Last week I needed a change of scenery.   It was one of those weeks when it’s just too hard to live away from everyone I love, and I needed to get out and distract myself. I thought about going shopping or heading to the park, calling a friend or getting a gelato. Everything seemed […]

Burano: A Rainbow of a City

April 30, 2017 / island, Italy, Picture Post

Even from a distance, the candy-colored houses of Burano stood out vividly.   Burano is a small journey within itself, and while this was my fourth visit to Venice, it was my first on the tiny island.  To get to the colorful island, you need to first take a vaparetto to Murano, then disembark and […]
