Leaving the Amalfi Coast where houses balance on the side of cliffs and the greenery of the mountains served as a view any blogger could be motivated by I returned to Naples where I would spend my final 24 hours in Europe. A little depressing but chancing an hour long train ride that I’d already experienced delays on just wasn’t worth it. Additionally was the extra expense required to purchase […]

Heaven Or Just Realising The Dream
The final two days at my stay in the oh so posh hostel along the coastline of Italy were some of my finest.

Marking out Castel Nuovo, the Royal Palace and finally the National Archaeological Museum as places to see on this very warm italian […]
How Much Did It Cost – Helsinki Budget
I was determined to make sure my short Helsinki stay was to be much cheaper than my stay in Stockholm. The reason I was so confident as I had finally scored my first couchsurfing hosts and while I only had one night with them it sure saved me a packet overall. It’s weird but I was also glad to be back on the Euro in Helsinki. I’m not sure if […]
