Every year when I come to Phoenix for Christmas to visit my adorable nephews and my wonderful parents, brother and sister in law, my mom always makes sure to take me on a road trip. We’ve gone to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Sedona, and some places in town last year when the government shutdown meant the national parks were closed.

And don’t worry, I took … Continue reading Plitvice National Park (Croatia)
After having an amazing evening in Ljubljana (click here to read this post if you haven’t yet) we woke up early the next morning to drive to Lake Bled. We had asked our Airbnb host if it was better to drive or take the bus to Bled and she told us definitely the bus because it got so busy and parking was difficult, but we … Continue reading Lake Bled & Soteska Vintgar (Slovenia)
This post might well be called “First Day in Krakow- I had no idea what I was doing”. My summer 2019 trip started on June 25, when I flew from Columbus to Miami via American Airlines, then after a 4 hour layover to London gatwick with Norwegian airlines (perhaps the worst airline I’ve ever flown), with my final 5 over layover in London before flying … Continue reading My first day in Krakow
