Ber and I very quickly slipped away last week (just like our first year of marriage did!) for an anniversary trip to Slovenia. There was something so perfect and unsuspected about this trip and not a single detail disappointed–And our hotel of choice was no exception. Grand Hotel Union, Ljubljana, Slovenia Our bus arrived to…
One of my goals as I travel is to find ways to bring the magic of these places to those of you who can’t make it there yourselves. Rome got the better of me. We’ve all seen pictures of the Colosseum, the ruins, the Pantheon… But to stand next to them, to try to stretch your imagination…
Rome is undoubtedly most famous for its history and monuments, but I’m inclined to share first my favorite parts, which were mostly found in the details– Especially the adorable cafes and restaurants. Kings of sweet little cafe fronts It could very well be that I simply have similar taste to the Italians, but from my first…
Nestled halfway between Budapest and Vienna, lies a little city you quite possibly have never heard of. Győr, Hungary (pronounced “jur” as in “jury”, for lack of a better way to explain it) isn’t exactly on the list of top European destinations.

Our last trip to Budapest, Hungary served many purposes. Though busy, thankfully, I didn’t forget to snap a few photos for you guys! The prep and the way there was just so classic of us. I was able to make arrangements with the hotel less than a week before we went, then we booked our…

Budapest Hotel Moments is part of Ber’s and my happily ever after love story. So this may actually be the most fun hotel review I will ever write. Granted, these were merely the first two days of our ever after, but they were definitely happy. The Married Life Adventure Begins It was the wee hours…
Read Part I here to read my encouragement and caution for nomads, expats, and adventurers-to-be. So why move abroad and furthermore, why stay? The most obvious reason for me as a follower of Jesus, is that I go where He leads me and stay where He tells me to. But I won’t lie and say I’ve always…
A window into expat life Let me just starting by saying, I’m not here to discourage anyone from taking that step of faith to begin whatever adventure God is calling them on. I encourage everyone to get out and see more of the world and experience more cultures. There are so many excellent reasons to do…
We made it I am happy to say we made it to Hungary and are enjoying our time here– The first visit back as a couple since the wedding. Between having ridden the bus through the night just to get here, and my mind being flooded with both old and new Hungarian words, I’m pretty tired.…
