May 19, 2018 – May 21, 2018 Visiting the English countryside has always been a dream of mine. Maybe from all of the times I had to watch Little Women on road trips with my family as a child or because the holiday is one of my favorite movies. Whatever the case, I put it…

Spain – Paella and Beaches
May 9, 2018 – May 13, 2018 When you have a 4 day weekend and you live in Europe, there’s nowhere better to be than Spain. We took advantage of the time off work to visit Valencia and Mallorca. Valencia, a city south of Barcelona on the east coast of Spain is rich in history…
Rome is where I want to be
May 4, 2018 – May 6, 2018 A few weekends ago, I made it back to the first city I ever visited in Europe, the wonderful Rome. As a college student, I studied abroad in Tuscany for a summer and spent a week in Rome on the front end. This trip back was just as…
Port-Lis-Lago-ugal
March 24, 2018 – April 2, 2018 Note: this post took me a really long time to write, sorry if you fall asleep during it. Move over Italy, Portugal is my new favorite country. From the wine region of Porto, to the busy city hustle and bustle of Lisbon, to the beaches in Lagos –…
Ooooh Morocco
March 24, 2018 – April 2, 2018 In the Netherlands, not only do you get off work for Good Friday, but you also get a holiday for Easter Monday, resulting in a 4 day weekend. We took advantage of this by stretching out our vacation to the week before and going on a proper holiday,…
Beautiful Budapest
April 20, 2018 – April 22, 2018 Because of my tardiness in writing my blog post about our trip to Marrakech/Portugal (still in progress…), I’ve decided to try something new and start writing the Budapest post while on the plane back to Amsterdam. We’ll see how this goes. Normally, I prefer Western European countries over…
Dublin – St. Party’s Day
March 16, 2018 – March 17, 2018 Warning: this post pretty much just talks about how drunk I got on St. Patrick’s Day. Although we had already embarked on one weekend getaway to Dublin, when our friends said they were going for St. Patrick’s Day, we knew we had to join them on this bucket…
Madrid, there’s always mañana
March 2, 2018 – March 4, 2018 It’s been a cold, rainy winter in Amsterdam as evidenced by the canals freezing, an event that hasn’t happened in over 6 years. I’m sure it was a sight to see when people were skating down the Princengracht and Keizersgracht, but luckily we avoided the chilly freeze and…
Venice
February 9, 2018 – February 11, 2018 Because we’ve never been to the real Mardi Gras in New Orleans, once again we decided to do the European version and partake in Carnival (last year was Nice). Luckily Tyler’s first weekend not working in 2018 (ugh, busy season) happened to coincide with the Venice carnival. We…
