Romania was a fairytale land! I didn’t know what to expect before we visited, but I was greatly impressed by its charming architecture, colorful streets, and gorgeous countryside.

There we stayed at a guesthouse that had a shared bathroom and kitchen, a great wood-fire grill, and a wonderful outdoor space for the kids to play and for us to relax.

Krakow With Kids
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
We had a lovely four-night stay in a small town in Slovakia called Zajezova, near the “bigger” town of Pliesovce, in the Banska Bistrica area. 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 […]
