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 […]

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 […]
Off-The-Beaten Track Bulgaria With Kids
On our way from Romania to Greece, we spent a week in Bulgaria. We really didn’t know much of anything about Bulgaria during the trip-planning stage and it turned out to be an interesting country with a very extensive and rich history. It probably wouldn’t make our top hits list thus far, but we saw […]
Transylvania With The Kids
After our time in Cluj-Napoca, we headed south into the Transylvanian countryside, to a little village called Curciu. 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. The owner of the guesthouse […]
Lviv, Ukraine With Kids

Budapest With Kids
After our time in Lake Balaton, we headed back to Budapest. We spent almost a week in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. 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 […]

During the first part of our time in Slovenia, we stayed in Ljubljana and explored nearby attractions from there. Now we are in the mountains, exploring the lakes and Julian Alps area. As I worked through my photos, I realized that it would be impossible for me to post only ten photos from this beautiful […]
