I had high hopes for solo travel in Cyprus. I really did. After spending almost an entire month in Greece earlier in 2019, I was so excited to get back to another Mediterranean Island that everyone told me had Greek vibes. My misadventures of solo travel in Cyprus started off well. I was picked up…

I spent a week in Malta in November. I knew it wouldn’t be ‘hot’ but compared to the snow that was back home in Canada, those low 20C temperatures sounded like heaven. Beach weather even for this Canadian girl. However, it was not to be. My dreamy week of Malta sunshine ended up being mostly…

Is there a European destination that screams summer more than Croatia? Personally, I don’t think so. Gorgeous beaches, historic cities, majestic waterfalls, island hopping tours, sailing, and spectacular sunsets are just a few of the amazing things that Croatia’s Dalmatian has to offer.
