After our time in Ohrid, we drove 3 hours to Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia. Before this trip, we had never even heard about Skopje, and I’m glad we visited as it was a really fun city to see. A Bit Of History Having switched hands over time, Skopje is a culturally diverse city […]

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 […]

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

Our time in Krakow was the shortest we had since starting our road trip through Central/Eastern Europe. We spent only two days / three nights in Krakow. 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 […]

Farm Life In Central Slovakia

Our Airbnb was part of a farm owned by a Dutch woman who fell in love with Slovakia almost ten years ago, moved there and bought some properties. We all […]
