Bruges, Belgium
After an *extremely* difficult nearly three full weeks of teaching 12hrs/week, obviously it was time for a vacation! Traveling is always my big highlight of my vacations from TAPIF. I wanted to kickstart it a bit early this time around with a quick girls’ weekend trip. I got Brooke and Amanda on board by giving…

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.…

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…

Antigua, Guatemala
After enjoying about a week in Mexico City and Oaxaca, it was time to say goodbye to Mexico and head to my next destination: Guatemala!

Oaxaca, Mexico
After a few days of exploring Mexico City, it was time for the next destination on my Central America backpacking trip: Oaxaca! In the days that I had to explore Oaxaca City and the surrounding area, I feel in love with the city and its culture… and I also learned some major travel tips. Monday…

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…
