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 […]
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!). […]
Ibiza, Spain
Oh gosh, where to begin. Our trip to Ibiza is definitely one for the books. I found out that a friend from college was coming to Europe, so we decided to meet her and her friends up for a weekend trip in Ibiza. Personally, I had no clue what to expect, and then quickly realized while I […]
EXIT Festival: Novi Sad & Belgrade, Serbia
For July, the new country of the month was Serbia. This is also the month that the EXIT Festival takes place, so we made sure to align our travel dates with the music festival. It was a super short weekend, but we definitely made the most of it! On July 5, 2019, we […]
Santorini & Crete, Greece (Part 2 of 2)
Hello! This is a continuation of my previous travel post. If you haven’t already, read Santorini & Crete, Greece (Part 1 of 2). Otherwise, let’s jump right back in! It’s now Tuesday, May 28, 2019 — day 2 in Crete (but day 5 in our overall trip to Greece). For our second day in Crete, […]
Santorini & Crete, Greece (Part 1 of 2)
I can’t believe we are nearing the end of 2019 already, and that I’ve somehow managed to procrastinate writing. I’m trying my best to make time to get at least this post up before my next 2-week trip coming up soon. So here. we. go! We last left off with our trip to Porto, Portugal […]
