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.
Immediately, I began to do basic research and quickly learned that the best way to see Iceland is by car. I kept coming across phrases like “the ultimate road trip of your life,” and “you’ll want to stop every five minutes,” which are pretty bold statements that make you take pause. It did not take long for me to come to my decision—I was going to do this road trip, known as The Ring Road because it’s literally circles the entire island. That was settled.
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!
