Lake Ohrid With Kids

North Macedonia was one of the biggest surprises on this trip so far. Probably because we didn’t know much about it before visiting! From Thessaloniki, we drove straight to Ohrid, a beautiful city by Lake Ohrid, and we loved it! We spent five relaxing days in Ohrid exploring the lake and the many beautiful sights this […]

Greece: Halkidiki and Thessaloniki with Kids

After Plovdiv, Bulgaria, we drove down to northern Greece. We were so glad we were able to make it to Greece on this roadtrip. It was also nice to be back coastal after a few months of traveling inland. During our time in Greece, we spent an amazing ten days in Halkidiki (also spelled Chalidiki) […]

It probably wouldn’t make our top hits list thus far, but we saw […]

Overall, the city was very lively, full of restaurants, cafes […]

The owner of the guesthouse […]

In Poprad we explored the old town and enjoyed some great little hikes surrounded by beautiful nature. After Poprad, we spent two nights on a farm […]
