I strive to practice gratitude daily, so that even in these dark times I am reminded of the good. While not ignoring the challenges that we must work to overcome, this post highlights 5 particular acts of kindness from people that could have easily avoided involvement, yet chose to help me, a much appreciative stranger get through many unfortunate situations while traveling.
This past summer I went on an amazing two week road trip throughout Europe. If you kept up with my trip recap series, you would have seen mostly highlight reels of beautiful buildings, historical monuments, selfies, and gorgeous city views. But, the reality is traveling isn’t always as glamorous as pictures suggest. While my trip ran relatively seamless, my travel back home was a DISASTER!
Here’s a run-through of my 30+ hour nightmare journey home from Warsaw to North Carolina and the 5 lessons I learned along the way:
Discover the best markets in Ghana, from Accra to Kumasi. Explore vibrant stalls, local crafts, and insider tips for shopping like a local.
Budapest was the last major stop on our road trip before we returned to Poland. The city is divided into two parts Buda and Pest. They are separated by the Danube river. Our accommodations were on the Pest side. We stayed in this beautiful Air BnB apartment in the Belváros neighborhood, which I highly recommend. Here’s a look into 6 experiences you should have while in Budapest:
When my friends and I were planning our Euro road trip we had to choose between spending more time in Prague or Budapest. I reached out to my FB friends to get their opinion and it was spilt relatively evenly. I ultimately chose to spend more time in Budapest because it seemed like it had way more to do. That meant we had 2.5 days to get a taste of Prague’s grace. Here are the top 5 things I learned that you should know before your visit:
Discover the ultimate Berlin travel itinerary: three days of rich landmarks, neighborhoods, and local experiences await you.
Discover the best cities to visit in Poland, from the historic charm of Kraków to the modern energy of Warsaw.
I recently came back from my European excursion and I’m eager to share with you all details of my itinerary, but before that you need to know why a road trip throughout Europe will give you life!

Apps are a great way to eliminate unnecessary issues during travel. Being a few weeks away from my Euro excursion has me in major trip planning mode and one of the things I’m considering is what apps to use during my trip. I surveyed a few of my globetrotting friends asking about their favorite apps to use during their adventures. Here is list of apps that will assist you with language barriers, money management, staying connected, navigation & guides, and trip organization. All of the apps are free or low cost and available for Android & iOS.
