Since the “lockdown” started in Switzerland (back in late March), this was the first trip that we took in what felt like a long while. In mid-May of 2020, we stayed for one night in Monthey, Switzerland at the Whitepod Eco-Luxury Hotel. This was the first week of their reopening since COVID started. We weren’t […]
Europe
Lisbon & Sintra, Portugal
We had some friends who came to visit us in Switzerland. After they had completed their tour around the country, we met up again to travel together to Portugal. On Friday night, we arrived in Lisbon and checked into our apartment at Charm Discovery 44 for the weekend. It was a nice and spacious two-bedroom […]
Tirana, Albania
Since our move to Switzerland, we had little chance in visiting countries in the Balkans. It’s mostly because I booked too many trips to other places, but also because I don’t know where to go! We decided as a start to visit Tirana, Albania. Our trip was began on February 20, 2020, where we flew […]
Venice Carnival
We went to Carnevale di Venezia, the Carnival of Venice, an annual festival held in Venice, Italy. The carnival takes place each year in February and continues on for two weeks. Most know the world famous carnival for the masquerade masks, venetian costumes, and grand balls. Besides balls, there are a host of events throughout […]
Lyon, France
Every December in Lyon, France, the city holds the Festival of Lights. In 2019, we decided to drive to Lyon and stay there overnight from Saturday to Sunday. The first thing we did when arriving in Lyon was grab some Korean BBQ at OGAM Restaurant Coréen. It wasn’t the best, but it’s better than anything […]
Istanbul, Turkey
We went to Istanbul, Turkey for an extremely short trip (or more like a really long layover). After our trek in Nepal, we had to stop in Istanbul, so I figured, why not make a trip out of it? On December 1, 2019, we flew from Kathmandu to Istanbul. It was an exhausting journey to […]
A Weekend in the French Riviera — Nice, Menton, Monaco, Cannes, and Antibes
Can’t stop, won’t stop. To continue my 2019 resolution of 1 new country per month, we planned a trip to Monaco for September. The best way to get to Monaco is by taking a short train ride from Nice, France. This is why we chose to fly to Nice, which turned out to be super […]
Wiesn Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany
Since we are living in Europe, we decided to go check out a real Oktoberfest. And where better to enjoy it than Munich, Germany? The actual name of the festival is Wiesn, but worldwide, most know it by Oktoberfest. This annual folk festival runs roughly 3-weeks long, starting in mid to late September (not October!). […]
Disneyland Paris
You know what, I think this is the most blog posts I’ve published in a long time now. It’s been fairly consistent for the last couple of weeks. I’m proud of myself, lol! The other thing is, this is the first post that I’ve ever written for any of my trips to Paris. I literally […]
Prague, Czech Republic
Time for another blog post!! Because instead of traveling on weekends, I now just play catch up on writing about past travels that I’ve gone on. Maybe I’ll actually be able to catch up for once. This week, I’ll be writing about my trip to Prague. Prague was such a fun city adventure. I’d highly […]
