Our trips around the world…
Our lasting impression of Bitola? LOUD. Like, really loud. Sure, our apartment’s prime location next to a construction site didn’t help, but even without that, this city seemed determined to make its presence heard. Cafés blasted music at nightclub volumes, every second vehicle was a motorbike or ATV at max RPM, and we’re fairly certain... Continue Reading →
After a very short bus trip and a comically fast border crossing, we arrived in Pristina, Kosovo. Two things excited us the most: the weather forecast and our accommodation. After weeks of relentless heat, a break in the heatwave was finally forecast, with temperatures predicted to dip into the high teens and low twenties. As... Continue Reading →
It’s a bit odd how this trip came about, at least in terms of where we chose to go. When we landed in Athens back in 2019, one of the first things we saw was a protest. After a bit of digging, we discovered it was about the proposed name change from the Former Yugoslav... Continue Reading →
After our classes finished earlier than expected, and our visa renewals went through without a hitch, we suddenly found ourselves on holiday two weeks ahead of schedule. So we decided to head to Korea and Guangzhou to catch up with some friends—and tack on a few days in Hong Kong for good measure.Getting back to... Continue Reading →
On our way home, we booked a three-day stopover in Doha with Qatar Airways. It was something of an afterthought—a nice little add-on, but not something we’d planned with much anticipation. That made it all the more surprising when it turned out to be an incredibly interesting stop.Doha is a fascinating city, striking a balance... Continue Reading →
Shit: meet fan.A few travel delays due to weather ended up breaking Will— literally. Let me explain…The day before we were due to leave Larnaca, I tweaked my back. Naturally, it happened while doing something incredibly heroic—putting on my socks. An old rugby injury has left my lower back forever dodgy, and this time it... Continue Reading →
After everything that happened after Cyprus, our memories of the country itself are unfortunately a bit hazy. We rented a car to make the most of it, covering Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca in our loop.Limassol and Larnaca felt, oddly, like miniature versions of England. Almost everyone we saw seemed to be English, slathered in layers... Continue Reading →
Santorini had long been on Sam’s bucket list, so it felt only right to head there for her birthday. We treated ourselves to a swanky hotel perched above the caldera—though to be fair, almost every hotel in Santorini has a caldera view. The price? A surprisingly modest €50 a night, a far cry from the... Continue Reading →
