UPDATED FEB 2020. After visiting other cities in Malta I was grateful to have chosen the Corinthia Hotel St George’s Bay as my home base. It was a relaxing oasis by the Mediterranean Sea that felt like a world away from everything, but in reality, was just a quick shuttle ride away from the capital. Through the facilities, tours, programs…
UPDATED MAR 2020. We all know Milan. It’s one of the most iconic cities in Italy. I’m sure it’s not common that people visit this city specifically to watch WWE Wrestling, but that’s exactly why I planned a visit recently. WWE was coming to town and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go and see the show – I’m…
UPDATED FEB 2020. The water was so cold that it winded me. I caught my breath, swam over to the edge and climbed my numb legs up the ladder. Once I was out of the water the breeze outside hit me like a million knives piercing my skin at once. My feet were sore from the numbness but they managed…
UPDATED FEB 2020. My visit to Finland was a quick solo trip to celebrate my birthday and I know that sounds weird to travel solo for a birthday but I’m introverted so I’m pretty comfortable being alone. I’ve put together this guide on how to spend a weekend in Helsinki to share some of the wonderful things to do in…
UPDATED FEB 2020. “Escape the ordinary”. I smiled as I read this while Googling ‘where to stay in Helsinki’. It’s funny how some places choose you instead of you choosing them and this was one of those times. My spider senses told me that this would be a perfect place to stay for someone with a blog motto of “extraordinary…
UPDATED FEB 2020. A tourist attraction with Hitler’s name in it sounds a little questionable, doesn’t it? As weird as it is to say though, I think it’s worth a visit. Today I’m sharing a guide on visiting Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest without a tour as well as a weekend itinerary for other things to do in the area.
UPDATED FEB 2020. I was so excited to finally visit Greece because it has been on my bucket list since forever. I remember going on some early dates with my husband to get Greek food and talking over gyros about how one day we would love to take a trip together to eat real Greek food in Greece. Maybe that…
UPDATED FEB 2020. There are a lot of words you could use to describe Iceland but “cheap” certainly isn’t one of them. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t visit though, because it’s an awesome country. During my recent visit, I invested in a couple of tours and wanted to keep to a budget for the other days I had…
UPDATED MAR 2020. I can’t believe it was one year ago I boarded a plane at the Honolulu Airport and moved across the pond. My husband left soon after we got here – seems to be the pattern with my moves and military lifestyle. I remember the isolating feeling of sitting in my empty apartment. I had no money, no…
UPDATED FEB 2020. The Blue Lagoon and Secret Lagoon get all the attention but there are local geothermal pools in Iceland all around the country. Whether you are interested in doing laps for exercise or soaking in hot tubs, there’s something for everyone. The catch – there is a strict process around getting ready for the swim including mandatory naked group…
