The first time we landed in Paris, Chris and I knew that we’d be back. After all, who can land in Charles de Gaule without wanting to explore this gorgeous city? We were on our way to Croatia and didn’t have the time to head downtown, but we promised each other we’d come back. Then a few months later, I asked my sister if she wanted to visit us in Europe and told her she could either join us in Sofia for a week, or we could meet her in Paris and spend a week there. She had already made …

Discovering Sofia: An Eastern European Jewel
When we decided to go live in Greece for a while, we were expecting to pay less than average for an EU country. Well, when we started checking our bank account daily and seeing all our money disappear because of food, we had to adjust. No, we weren’t going to starve ourself, so we decided it was better for our budget to move. And our tourist visa was running to an end anyway, so we needed to get out of the Schengen Zone.

6 Ways to Survive a 5h+ Train Ride
When we left Greece for Bulgaria, we had two choices: take a quick plane or jump on the long train and bus ride. Because we’ve been taking planes since the day we left, we decided to opt for the unusual option. It would save us a bit of money and make the journey more interesting!

I found myself a lot more excited about this train ride than I would be for a typical plane ride. That’s why I decided …
Visiting the Greek Islands: A Day on Hydra
Who could spend two months in Athens and not visit at least one island? Definitely not us! Even though we had to spend a lot of time working on our business and staying in our apartment, we decided one day to take a day off and discover that one island we heard a lot about. The one thing we heard the most about Hydra, before going there, was that there were no cars on the island. And by no cars, people meant that cars were almost non-existent because there’s still the unusual garbage truck that will drive around the island. …
When in Athens, Don’t Forget the Beaches!
Wherever we are, Chris and I have to spend a lot of time indoors, working on our computers. That’s one of the downsides of being digital nomads. We’ve been doing it a lot more lately, as we are in a city without a walking distance beach. Which is sad. But while exploring the city, a lot of people recommended that we just jump on the tram and let it take us to awesome beaches that reminded them of the Greek Island. So one day, we decided to ditch work and take that tram. (Actually, we’d done it once already, but …
