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…

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

Montmartre Top 10

The scenery, attractions, and general vibes are somehow different from the rest of the city that surrounds it. Whether you’re checking out Montmartre for the first time during your vacation or want to find some new charming…

Visiting the Père Lachaise Cemetery
As one of the most famois cemeteries in the area, the Cimetière du Père Lachaise is a popular destination for Parisian tourists and locals alike. Because it is literally on the other side of the city from where I live and spend most of my time, I hadn’t had a chance to visit it until…

Le Havre, France
After a stressful week, sometimes, you just need to get away from the pressure and spend a few days somewhere different. Thankfully, I have friends in other parts of France who will quickly welcome me to spend a spontaneous weekend with them in their city. My friend Riana is doing TAPIF in Le Havre, which…

Holiday Travel Misadventures
Heading home for the holidays is reminiscent of a few key things: quality time with family and friends, relaxation and comfort, good food and drinks, and, of course, travel stress. While the first few aspects are wonderful, sometimes, the stress that comes from the process of getting home and back can overshadow them a bit.…
