Munich Oktoberfest 2022
When I road-tripped from Paris to Munich for Oktoberfest in 2018, I looked back on the trip fondly yet a bit in awe, saying that it was a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Looks like I was wrong about that! This year, once again, I schemed with my friends to plan a road trip from Paris to Munich…

Caye Caulker, Belize & Travel Misadventures
After Mexico City, Oaxaca, Antigua, Acatenango, and Lake Atitlán, I headed on to Caye Caulker, Belize. The beginning of the end. During the last few days I had spent in Guatemala, I contracted an intense fever and mysterious stomach problems. I was feeling better, but still couldn’t keep down food and was losing energy fast.…

Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
Sunsets on the lake, smoking volcanoes, glamping tents, and new friends from around the world drinking free beer at nightly family-style dinners. It felt like this magic would last forever. Unfortunately, all these good things come to an end when a mystery travel illness gets involved. Before I get ahead of myself, here’s a recap…

July 2022 Life Updates
Hi y’all, Robin here! It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to add to my blog and create any sort of content except for quick TikToks and personal Instagram posts, but I wanted to take a minute to reflect before getting started with a new adventure. I finished my English teaching contract with…

Dubrovnik, Croatia
Following Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, and Ljubljana/Bled, I finally (somehow) made it to the final destination of my backpacking trip: Dubrovnik, Croatia! The trip getting here wasn’t easy, but after two (very long) FlixBus rides and even a few country border crossings, I finally made it! I walked nearly an hour from the bus stop to…

Ljubljana & Bled, Slovenia
After visiting Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna, my winter break trip continued with a visit to Slovenia. While in Slovenia, I saw both a large metropolitan city, Ljubljana, and a small, nature-filled town, Bled. While these places may not be the world’s most popular tourist destinations, my time in Slovenia was definitely a highlight of my…

Vienna, Austria
After a tiring and slightly nauseating FlixBus ride from Budapest to Vienna, I was ready to start a new adventure! On day 1 in Vienna, Austria, I walked to my hostel, took a long nap, searched for and devoured a plate of schnitzel, and then made a new friend. Very quickly, just the day after…

One day in Bratislava, Slovakia
Almost as soon as I made it from Budapest to Vienna, it was time for the next stop on my Eastern European adventure: Bratislava, Slovakia! I woke up in my Vienna hostel with bus tickets to and from Bratislava ready to go, but after telling a girl in my room about it, she decided to…

Budapest, Hungary
I had a wonderful time spending the start of my vacation in Paris with friends, but once that was over, it was time for some travel! About a month ago, I looked at a map and noticed the many destinations in Eastern Europe that I have yet to visit. I planned a solo backpacking trip…

Paris Staycation
Once the Vacances d’Hiver officially began in Paris, I had plenty to look forward to! I had already planned and booked an ambitious backpacking trip, but before I would embark on that adventure, I got to experience some fun a bit closer to home. I spent the first five days of my vacation in Paris…
