This morning we dragged ourselves out of bed to check out the ships complementary breakfast. We were still at port when we arrived at breakfast. Breakfast on the boat was from 8-9 am. A lot of our ship mates were still sleeping from the night before. But we were able to see the small port […]
Last night, we arrive in Croatia. For this trip I travelled with my girlfriend Carrie. We had taken a flight from Toronto to Munich to Split. We arrived in Split tired and an hour delayed, however we had arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport and take us down town which was […]
When I originally decided to go to Sri Lanka, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I originally choose it because I wanted to go to India, and I decided that this was close to that. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is that Sri Lanka is NOT India. […]
Last year I had the good fortune to visit the Balkans and fell in love. Lucky for me my trip was in late May which is not quite tourist season, so I never dealt with crowds or anything. Now I was only able to spend 14 days in seven countries, but I was able to […]
In 2016, I was fortunate to take a tour with Contiki to the Balkans. I learned so much about this area of the world in the short period of two weeks. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun new adventure. Below you can find the breakdown of my trip: Day […]
Happy Birthday to me! It’s our last full day on tour and its my birthday, since who doesn’t want to be on vacation on their birthday. Andrew was really sweet and got me a present while I was still in bed. I had to laugh because he had gotten me what he through was a […]
This was an early day today, but I was so sad that we were leaving Slovenia that I woke up extra early so I could go find a cafe and a real coffee. That is one of the things that this trip did not have. A lot of real Americano coffee. So we headed out […]
Day twelve. With this day we lost 8 of our tour mates and gained 6 new ones. It was bitter sweet, since we had really bonded as a group. And we were skeptical of the new additions to our group. We tried to get to know them, since thats what nice people do, but its […]
Today we had a full day in Budapest. This was one of those places that I wish I had taken the time to read a few more blogs about when in Budapest, this is where you should go. Since this city is huge and there are so many places that you could visit. We started […]
Our time in Romania was really short, we headed out first thing in the morning. It was a full day on the bus, driving from Romania to Hungry. We stopped at a gas station for lunch, which was fine, most of the gas stations out this way had attached restaurants. It was around this time […]
Ekkk! This trip was going by so fast! But we woke up today in our beautiful hotel room, and went to the top floor (8th Floor). For breakfast. The main problem of this hotel is that there is only one elevator for all floors, but there were stairs, so that was great. We were on […]
Our trip is half way through. It is hard to believe it. But it is. So on we go. Today we were told to dress conservative as we would be going to a grave site today. So covering up legs and shoulders everywhere we go. We made the mistake of getting on the bus last […]
