Except, instead of just heading straight … Continue Reading

This is not a sponsored post! 🙂 This was my first trip to Budapest and I had no idea what to expect (I was flying by the seat of my pants a bit on this holiday) – so it was a very nice welcome to have a nice black Mercedes ready to whisk me off … Continue Reading

After exploring the more mainstream parts of Santorini on our own as well as going on a tour off the beaten … Continue Reading
