One item that gets added to many Iceland bucket lists is snorkeling at Silfra. Like so many other travelers, I added a snorkeling day tour at Silfra to my Iceland itinerary. Sure, it’s an expensive activity, but when else would I have the chance to snorkel between two tectonic plates? This article will outline everything …
During an impromptu five day trip to Zurich, I decided to use Zurich as a base. While the city has a few sights, it’s overall not the most interesting place for tourists (especially if you have five days!). The good news is that there are a handful of interesting day trips from Zurich. One of …
Prague sits in the heart of central Europe. It’s the capital of the Czech Republic and is full of sights, activities, and good food to keep visitors busy for days. However, some people don’t have days to spend, so this article is going to focus on the top five things I think all visitors to …
Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s one of the few cities that I’ve visited for more than just a day or two and never found myself bored. For that reason, I recommend spending a minimum of two full days here (but three or four is better). But sometimes, you find …

Buying train tickets should be pretty straightforward. For some places it is, and for other places you have to work a little harder than you would like. As I booked my trip to Europe, I found there were more quirks with France Train Tickets than I would have liked. That’s not to say it was …
Barcelona is the capital of Cataluyna and there is so much to see and do here. I’ve read several comments from people claiming to have spent several weeks here and have only just scratched the surface of what Barcelona has to offer. That may be true, but many of us don’t have several weeks to …
Seville, also called Sevilla, is one of many people’s favorite cities in Spain. It’s the home of flamenco dancing, is light on historical sites (although there’s still plenty to keep you busy on a short visit), and is a great place to just slow down and take a break from a fast paced itinerary. I …
During my impromptu trip to Zurich, Switzerland, I decided to spend one of my days making a day trip to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. This tiny country is nestled in the heart of the Alps, right between Switzerland and Austria. It’s a pretty easy day trip to do, but Liechtenstein doesn’t rank very high on the excitement …
