Český Krumlov: More than a Day Trip

April 23, 2019 / Czech Republic, Destinations, Europe, solo

I’ve been dying to visit Český Krumlov for years. Ever since reading, “The Bloodletter’s Daugther,” by Linda Lafferty, Český Krumlov has been one of those towns I NEEDED to see, but just didn’t seem to fit into my plans. The book tells the tragic story of Emperor Rudolf II’s illegitimate son, Don Julius. As he […]

Kotor’s Charm

June 11, 2018 / Europe, Montenegro, solo, travel

When planning my trip this summer, I had a list of places I wanted to see and was absolutely not willing to reconsider. I’d done my research (well… as much as I ever do), talked to friends who’d traveled the Balkan countries before, and mapped out a slightly complicated route that had me doubling back to […]

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 […]

The Last Leg of My Spring Break Adventure

December 7, 2016 / boat, Italy, solo, travel

Back in April, I wrote about the first legs of my solo trip to Southern Italy- Rome to Naples, then on to Pompeii. The next section of my trip was just wonderful. From Pompeii, I caught a small regional train to Salerno, and from there a bus to Amalfi. While on the train I found […]

Dubrovnik’s Game of Thrones Connection

March 23, 2015 / Croatia, solo, tour, travel

  Dubrovnik’s very own dragon- The dragon of the Ottoman Empire and the lion of Venice bowing down (or threatening) Dubrovnik and the lady of freedom. Very GOT. Shae and I are basically twins. My flight to Dubrovnik was a little bit of a fiasco. I thought I would be landing in the afternoon, leaving […]

Taking Candy from Strangers

April 26, 2014 / Italy, market, solo, The List, travel

Rainy day in the park Another item checked off The List, and my first “Get on the Next Train Leaving the Station” trip under my belt. At first, my trip to Torino (Turin? I don’t know which is right) seemed a little like a bust. Leaving the train station may as well have been just jumping […]
