  • Hiking in Albania

    September 20-23, 2022. Albania is part of the Balkans. It is on the Adriatic Sea and borders Greece. It’s just starting to get popular with tourists. I’d heard it was similar to Croatia and Montenegro but less touristy. I flew into Tirana and then spent a few nights in Shkodër, but the highlight was hiking…

  • Pisa

    September 18-19, 2022. I had not planned to visit Pisa. I’d heard it was boring with only the tower to see.

  • Iceland in the Winter-2021

    Let’s rewind to 2020. We are in lockdown. I’m watching youtube travel videos and stumble upon Flying-the-Nest camping in Iceland. How pretty! Everything is green and the temperature is mild. Fast forward to May 2021. Iceland is one of the first places to open back up for travel. The travel planning starts and I realize…
