Mathieu’s adventures: Hike to Bastei Bridge, in Saxony

by

I ended up going on a hike to Bastei Bridge because I had to work from Germany (Saxony) for a few days in April. Close to the end of the week, a German colleague shot the obvious question during lunch: What did you plan for this weekend? My colleagues and I didn’t have anything planned, so we asked for advice: You should go to Bastei, it’s not too far. Perfect for a walk. Beautiful. You will love it! It seemed nice enough, so that’s what we did. I actually didn’t pay much attention to the rest, because I like surprises, …

If you’re taking a plane to southeastern Europe, odds are pretty high to have a layover in Belgrade, Serbia.

Try the Couchsurfing App When you’re short on time and by yourself, Couchsurfing‘s App (on Android or iOS) is the best option to find some locals to go exploring or to grab a drink.

Pros and cons of traveling to Dubrovnik, Croatia

by

In this article, I will speak about the pros and cons of traveling to Dubrovnik, Croatia, as discovered during our short stay there. Dubrovnik was the place where I was going to part ways with Ana and Tim. I planned a two-night stay before taking the plane to Bucharest, with a short stop in Belgrade (Serbia). They, however, planned to drop me in Dubrovnik and skip it altogether, because it hadn’t sparked up their interest enough to add it to their list.

Travel to Kotor Bay: Amazing views & cool hideouts

Travel to Montenegro’s seaside & see its hidden gems

by

From Albania, we continued to travel to Montenegro’s seaside. We arrived near the seaside in the afternoon on a really hot day. Ana and I were sitting on the grass, in the shade, while Tim was looking for a place to stay. But everything was booked, so we had to search in several towns until we found something. We ended up staying in Buljarica Beach, one of the few places still not yet suffocated by tourists. Buljarica Beach We shared a very small room in Buljarica Beach, with a narrow double bed and a single bed. Around the bed, we had only the …

komani lake ferry ride

Time to relax on the Komani Lake ferry ride!

by

After you have seen all there is to see in Shkoder, my advice is that you book a Komani Lake ferry ride. Bookings can be arranged via your host (at least that’s how it was at the Wanderers Hostel). You will actually pay for a trip on a small bus to the lake plus the boat ride itself. You can book one-way or return tickets. Bus ride to Komani Lake You should have your breakfast early in the morning and be ready when the bus arrives. Make it a light breakfast, though, as you’ll be off on a bumpy ride! Several portions of the road …
