Of the 9 European countries we visited, I’m afraid I’d have to rank Göteborg towards the bottom of the list. Like Helsinki, it was a lovely, lovely city, with friendly and welcoming people, but it was also a bit… ordinary. It didn’t help that we were supposed to go to Stockholm, the capital, and were …
One of the most beautiful little villages I’ve ever been to, Geiranger is very small, with only around 200 to 250 permanent residents calling it home. But yet… it’s the 3rd most popular cruise stop in all of Norway, typically coming in behind Ålesund and Bergen, respectively. It’s located in the Sunnmøre region of Møre …
***Just like in my Helsinki blog (Helsinki, Finland: “The Pearl of the Baltic Sea”.), my fashion choices during this period of my life were horrendous.*** 🥲 I always wanted to visit Germany, as my mother’s entire side of the family hails from there. I am a 3rd generation American on my mother’s side (and my …
While Helsinki and Finland are lovely, with friendly people and charming historical sights, truthfully, it was my least favorite city/country duo that we visited. It was not because of the people, how we were treated, or even Helsinki itself, but compared to London, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Edinburgh, all of Norway, etc..., Helsinki felt just a …

Hi there! 👋🏼 I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know a little life update! I finally landed a dream job of mine, which is taking up quite a bit of my time and energy right now. Combine that with being a full time single mom, and well, unfortunately writing has once again …
Of all the European countries we visited, Norway was hands down my favorite. It didn’t have grand palaces like Russia, extravagant parliaments like England, or famous historical classics like Germany, but what it did have, that those countries lacked, was extraordinary natural beauty and unparalleled peacefulness. We visited Norway’s 2nd and 12th largest cities, Bergen …
Our guide giving her first history lesson. Hands down one of the best experiences of my life, these underground tunnels are incredibly famous in the paranormal community and a big prize for ghost and history lovers alike. Those familiar with my blog know I’m a fan of haunted places, as well as history, so combine …
I freaking love Estonia. Out of the 9 countries we visited, I’d rank Estonia as number 2 (Norway is number 1 😍). The architecture, the people, the vibe; it was basically myself, personified into a country. I love history, and from the moment we walked up to the gates of the capital city Tallinn, I …
While I enjoyed my time in Denmark, it could’ve gone better. It alternated between pouring and sprinkling rain for about 90% of our visit, essentially trapping us inside a HoHo (hop on, hop off bus) for a majority of the day. However, it was not a bust and what I loved most about the city …
One of the most charming towns I’ve ever visited, Invergordon, Scotland gives off the vibe that not many unpleasant things happen there. Located off the Port of Invergordon, it’s a quaint, cheerful, colorful little Scottish town with a population of approximately 4,000. However, while small, it’s known world-wide for its vibrant and colorful public murals …
