Our last stop in Romania was Brasov. Brasov is a beautiful and colorful city nestled in the Southern Carpathian mountains, making it a great place to go to if you are an outdoor enthusiast, as there are trails all over the surrounding hills and mountains. Overall, the city was very lively, full of restaurants, cafes […]

Transylvania With The Kids
We left Romania yesterday and we are still talking about what a good time we had there and what a beautiful place it is. As we said before, Romania really surprised us in a positive way. Sometimes, you simply feel a connection with a place and we definitely felt one with Romania! After our time […]

Lviv, Ukraine in Ten Images
I never thought I’d visit Ukraine, but I’m certainly happy I did. Lviv was so charming, lively, and full of color. I enjoyed watching people stroll around the main square, kids play at the local fair, and just watching life in the city. Lviv was a true pleasure to photograph!

Krakow In Ten Images
We spent a short time in Krakow and were mostly drawn to explore the big sites such as the Main Market Square and the Old Jewish Quarter. Both these areas were impressive in their own ways, and very fun to photograph!
A Quick Spin Through Krakow
Our time in Krakow was the shortest we’ve had since starting this trip. We spent two days / three nights in the city. We enjoyed seeing the city, but also found it a bit exhausting due to the heat and the crowds. We stayed in a nice Airbnb apartment that was a two-minute walk from […]

We originally had planned on spending one full day in Budapest on our way from Lake Balaton to Nagymaros, a little town on the Danube in Hungary. Unfortunately, the Nagymaros rental property was a disaster and we decided to go spend our […]
