Started the year right with travel! Spent 4 days in Copenhagen with my big sister, and it was fun catching up with her! I took the buss (nettbuss.no) from Oslo, which took about 8 hours. It was nerve-wracking, because I forgot to bring my passport. I had my visa card, tickets and photos of the … More Visiting Copenhagen, Denmark in early January
Norway is nature’s paradise. It is admirable how Norwegians value their natural resources, despite the growing urbanism in the country. They love nature so much that they have plenty of walking paths in the woods, and they prefer the quiet life in “hyttas” or cabins located deep in the forests most of the holidays. I, … More NORWAY: A long walk in Skotta nature reserve on a hot summer day!
Aside from the private tours to Delphi and Meteora, the free walking tours and the solo exploration in Athens, I also had a taste of Greek hospitality.

I first heard … More GREECE: Visiting the Sanctuary of Delphi, the omphalos (navel of the world)
The museum-lover in me instantly fell in love with the National Archaeological Musuem in Athens. It became an easy favorite, a museum I would love to talk about whenever Athens or Greece is mentioned. At first, I was hesitant to include it in my itinerary because it is located outside the city center where the … More Must-do’s and see’s in ATHENS: The National Archaeological Museum
Archaeological finds are not just found on the Acropolis Hill or the exclusive Ancient Agora. It is literally scattered all across the city of Athens.

If there’s one thing that would represent the city of Athens best, it’s undoubtedly the Acropolis.

Visiting Greece for a week is a dream come true!

I … More Must-do’s and -see’s in ATHENS: The Ancient Agora (Αγορά)
