When I road tripped Cyprus, the biggest motivation to do so was to visit Edro III Shipwreck. The abandoned ship is located on the west side of the island, only about 10 miles outside of Paphos, but usually a 30-45 minute drive because of traffic and road conditions. The shipwreck looked too cool of an …

One of the biggest questions when considering a trip to Cyprus is, which is better: Larnaca or Paphos? While I was originally planning on heading to Paphos, a cheap flight deal from Italy led me to Larnaca instead.

I’m currently living in Naples, Italy, but am only permitted to stay in the allotted time of a tourist visa. Already seeking a way to legally extend my time here, I found a great hack: leave the Schengen area as much as possible to continuously add days to my time here. This hack didn’t come …

In my experience from having been all over the country, Piedmont has some of the most unique dishes in Italian …
If you’re looking for an underrated European city to explore, look no further than Riga. This Baltic capital is ideal for wellness junkies, nature lovers, and history buffs alike. Best of all, the city is fairly small (the population floats around 600,000 people), so it’s easily explorable in just one day. If you’re short on …
I first visited Austria on a 16-hour layover in Vienna in 2019. While Vienna is undoubtedly charming and full of rich history, it wasn’t until I visited other parts of Austria on a summer trip that I truly fell in love with the country. Austria is known as being one of the most beautiful countries …
