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
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
In February when I found out that I had passed my first two CPA exams, we immediately went ahead and booked flights back to Orlando for my final two exams for the end of May. It gave me a quick turnaround and the quicker I could get it over and done with, the better! Since … More USA – Orlando, Florida (II)
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you may recall that only a few months ago we went to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That was never the plan. I’d actually booked Garmisch for the first time for Valentines Day weekend – we were never meant to go in October. We enjoyed our time there so much though … More Garmisch-Partenkirchen (II) , Ski school , Dachau Concentration Camp – Germany
Our first trip back to the USA since moving to Germany came with much anticipation. Due to some ridiculous rules, I had to fly back to the USA to sit some exams. It was going to turn out to be the most expensive failure if I didn’t pass, but I had waited too long. It … More USA – Orlando, Florida
Singapore had always been on my to-do list, ever since a girlfriend and I planned a trip to Hong Kong while at university. Singapore was going to be a free stopover for that trip. Unfortunately, the trip didn’t pan out and we never got to go, but Singapore (and Hong Kong for that matter) always … More Singapore – Singapore
Ahh New Zealand. The trip back to my homeland was booked 10 months in advance and was eagerly anticipated from the day it was booked. If anyone knows me well by this stage, they will know I’m an over-planner when it comes to travel booking. I rarely leave anything to chance and I will spend … More New Zealand – Christchurch
