Hello everyone from El Valle! My sister-in-law and her boyfriend finally got the chance to visit us here in the Dominican Republic. This has been our home for 7 months now and it’s the perfect time for a visit since we’ll continue to set sail if everything goes well on December. I can say that this has been our home …
Hello everyone, Have you been dreaming of an exciting adventure lately? Maybe a year riding motorbikes through the lush mountains of Vietnam, 6 months lazing on the beaches of Thailand or a semester eating tapas and drinking Spanish wine in Barcelona? Perhaps you’d like to visit the old Japanese capital of Kyoto or have always dreamed of walking across the …
Hello from Luperon in the Dominican Republic! If you’re new to our blog, we’ve been based here for a couple of months now together with our 2 cats and our sailboat, S/V Empress. We didn’t really plan on living here. We just went here for a Caribbean trip until we found it to be nothing less than dazzling. We just …
Hello beautiful people! Most of you must have already known that we’re currently based in Luperon, Dominican Republic. The past few months of living here with Jonathan and our 2 cats had been lovely but the past few days had been extremely special. My sister-in-law and her boyfriend flew all the way from London, United Kingdom to visit us here …
Last 2015, I was in Hongkong with my best friend who I haven’t seen for like 5 years. I was a newbie traveler then and my fear of flying was soon replaced by excitement as soon as I boarded the aircraft. At 26 years old, I was finally going to be on the happiest place on earth– Disneyland!! I’ve been …
Hello from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic! If you’re new to our blog, we’ve been based here for 7 months already. We were just sailing around the Caribbean then until we anchored in Luperon. Days turned into weeks and weeks into month until we finally decided to just stay here for a while during the hurricane season. I could say that …
After moving from one city to another during this 19-country Europe Trip, I was literally longing for a staycation. Traveling is surely fun but the act of consistently packing, unpacking, and moving around to various countries via plane, train, and bus with 20 kilos of luggage on toll is seriously tiring! It may not look like it but I still …
Tirana being described as a Colorful and Vibrant City is an understatement. I was here to cap off my 2-month European Tour (I can’t believe I’m saying this like a rock star haha) and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from it. Well, fewer expectations, more fun! This turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip! Aside from being welcomed …
The Republic of Malta is an archipelago situated in the South of Europe. Valletta, its capital, is considered as a UNESCO Heritage Fortified City which seems to me like an open air museum. Unknown to many, some of the scenes from Gladiator, World War Z, and Captain Phillips, as well as *everyone’s favorite series* The Game of Thrones were shot …
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina located on the Miljacka River and surrounded by the Dinaric Alps. Apparently, this country is a melting pot of different cultures and religions which can be traced back to the Neolithic Period, beginning about 10, 200 BC. In fact, there is a street here where you can see a mosque, a synagogue, …
From all my crazy outdoor adventures in Montenegro, Road tripping in the beautiful Bosnia & Herzegovina (which I think has the best scenery in the Balkans so far!), I’m now in a luxury city break in Bucharest, Romania. I arrived here earlier than expected due to some unpleasantries which turned out to be pleasantries (read more about it here), instead …
Hello from my 108th country– Oh ma ma Macedonia (Sing it with me if you know the song)! 🎵🎵 So, I crossed the border from Sofia, Bulgaria where I had quite a luck with my booking and impulsive buying skills. I bought Skopje-Sofia when it’s supposed to be Sofia-Skopje! Good thing my sister noticed it so I was able to …
Some days spent sailing could be a little boring, and that’s the truth. One day it’s gonna be full of excitement as the waves crash through the sailboat and the adrenaline rush kicks off but some days are just static as we go wandering around the ocean. We actually have found the perfect sailing companion which happens to be the …
Hello everyone from my 114th Country– The Most Serene Republic of San Marino! Not everyone might be familiar with this country and I know that even if you are, you might be skipping this on your tour around Europe. You might think that I’m here to encourage you to visit but no. I am here to affirm that you should …
A lot of people have told me to go to Lake Bled but I’d rather go to the Slovenian Istria for some reasons. Reason #1 is I always prefer to take the road less traveled. Touristic places are touristic for a reason but I’m sure that you’ll stumble upon even nicer places once you go out of the ordinary route. …
