16.12. 20:12My time in Vilnius was short, but even though I was lacking sleep after my adventurous arrival, I walked to explore the city centre after work. It's a lovely little place with beautiful buildings. As my accommodation was quite a distance outside the centre and I didn't have much time, I used public transport.... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Ten
8.12. 19:51Day 2 in Ukraine, and it started with an air alert on my app around 7 a.m. I thought I'd take it seriously, despite what my host said yesterday. I got up and went to the window first to see what's going on outside, but it was normal early traffic. I put on my... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Nine
3.12. 21:11Where do I start? I've been busy those last two days. Yesterday I met an American guy in the hostel and he joined me in visiting the famous Bran castle. It was a really nice castle, but for me personally, there was too much made-up stuff about the whole Dracula thing and it was... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Eight
29.11. 21:34Another day done and dusted. I enjoyed another slow morning as it is my last day off for this week. For the first time of this road trip I took public transport to the city centre. I walked through the old town to my first stop: The National Museum of Romanian History. I was... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Seven
26.11. 21:26Today was very adventurous. Last night, I was informed that my Airbnb in Kosovo for today got cancelled, so I had to adjust my plans. I found a different accommodation in Serbia, close to the border, and decided to only visit Kosovo for a day trip. My internet plan does not include Macedonia or... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Six
21.11. 20:57Today was the first day of my trip that was less active. Before I work I went to a bakery and had breakfast. I also prepared my clothes for washing, as I'm planning to do that at my next destination, Thessaloniki. After I finished work, I walked around Igoumenitsa and discovered a few cute...

Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Five
19.11. 21:11It's amazing how much happens in one day. How long one day truly can be. As I'm laying in bed writing these lines, today felt like at least a week long. First of all, I had such a bad night. It's been a very long time since I had something as bad as this.... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Four
17.11. 21:01Another day done and dusted. I woke up early this morning, had a meeting, and then worked. I checked out at 10 and worked from my car till 1 p.m. Then I went to the beach to say goodbye to Ulcinj and Montenegro. It couldn't have been a better moment. It was super windy...

Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part Three
14.11. 22:38Before I left, I set the goal in my mind to do 10.000 steps per day while I travelled because I wouldn't be able to work out. I was worried though that on the days I'd have to work, it might become difficult for me. Well, today was the first day I had to... Continue Reading →
Southeastern Europe Travel Diary Part One
11.11. 20:04I still can’t believe that I finally left my home. Yesterday morning, I woke up in my apartment, and today I’m three countries away. It’s weird to think about it. How easy it is for me to adapt. The last few weeks were all about preparing for my departure. I had to • sort... Continue Reading →
Israel Travel Diary Part One
Day 1 | 15.6. 00:39 Or should I say Day 2? Just a few hours ago, I landed in Tel Aviv. Life is so interesting. When I told people back home about spending my vacation in Israel, they all asked me the same question: 'Are you going by yourself?'Seriously? You people still don't know me?... Continue Reading →
