My name is Emma, I'm from a small town in New Zealand and have now found myself living in the USA.
I have been delaying this blog for a few months now. Probably due to the fact that I am struggling to come to terms with the fact that this could be the last post for this blog in Europe. It was an amazing ride though, and we visited more places than we could ever have … More Ireland – The Wild West
Since moving to Europe, Iceland was yet another place on the bucket list. This was further egged on by watching ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ a couple of years ago, which was completely filmed in Iceland (except for the scenes in New York). It seemed too difficult to get to (does this sound familiar … More Iceland – Reykjavik and the Golden Circle
It’s kind of funny growing up in a country with little immigration outside of Asian and Commonwealth countries. To have a last name outside of the norm instantly perplexes people. I had a lifetime of people mispronouncing my name and instantly assuming for themselves my nationality. My last name is of Polish descent, but that … More Poland – Boleslawiec, Krakow, Wieliczka and Auschwitz
Dubrovnik – Croatia After leaving Bosnia, Dubrovnik was around an hour further in the car. We passed what seemed to be like a hundred stands full of beautiful citrus fruits and home-made jars of pickled fruits and vegetables. We ended up stopping on the way back at one of them, but unfortunately we had only … More Croatia – Dubrovnik & Montenegro – Kotor
Croatia had long been on our list to visit. I had heard nothing but wonderful things about Plitvice Lakes from many people who had visited. Not many people I knew had visited Dubrovnik, as it is a little far from the Ryan Air airports that fly from Frankfurt Hahn. It was on my list though, … More Croatia – Plitvice Lakes & Bosnia – Neum
When I was younger I had a Swedish penpal. Yeah, I know, that seems to be a topic of conversation regularly in this blog. She was a beautiful girl called Sofia and she had a Norwegian Fjord horse. She was one of the nicest people I wrote to, and I always wanted to go to … More Sweden – Stockholm
Words cannot describe how I feel about Norway. I thought I felt this way about Greece, but Norway took it up another level. It truly sounds like a love story! Getting to Norway is difficult from Frankfurt. It took a lot of extra planning and we did consider a cruise instead. I would say that … More Norway – Bergen & The Fjords
Day one I had always wanted to visit Copenhagen. My brother had a friend in high school who was sent overseas on a student exchange there. I never knew anything about it until then, and we ended up googling photos of Denmark at that time. It looked so foreign to us. The canals, the vibrant … More Denmark – Copenhagen
I feel a little ridiculous writing about visiting Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the third time in less than a year, but when you find a good thing and new things to do every time, then it is worth a quick post to write about the amazing things to do in the area. I won’t go into the … More Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the summer
I’ve always been curious about Malta since ordering my gramps’ World War II military records and seeing he had a period of time stationed there. It seemed so exotic, so far away, nestled in between Africa and Italy in the Mediterranean ocean. I never thought I would visit, but it was always at the back … More Malta – Malta
