Our Long Awaited Family Vacation — To Cyprus!
My family and I are really excited. Honestly, I’m not sure who is more excited, myself or my kids. I haven’t left my country in 4 years, since I had to return home a day early on my trip to Austria in March of 2020, since all the flights afterwards were being canceled because of […]
Our Frugal Annual Desert Camping Trip
My family had a wonderful camping trip in the desert and I wanted to share about it with you. This is an event the family and I look forward to every year. This year was our largest camping trip yet. We were 4 families instead of the 2 we started with. There’s something nice about […]
The Last Day of My Much Needed Getaway
I desperately needed a vacation, after having been burnt out, but as my luck would have it, I ended up testing positive for corona on my first day there, so needed to spend my vacation in quarantine. To be honest, I didn’t mind too much that I was in quarantine since my intention really was […]
Unfortunately Needing to Cancel My Trip
I am bummed out. 🙁 My trip to Venice which I was really excited about, unfortunately no longer will be happening. Since I went to Vienna last March right before Covid got out of control I haven’t left the country. (In fact, I came home a day early because all the flights I could find […]
My Upcoming Trip to Venice!
Recently, one of my kids, I forget who, asked me “If you could have any job in the world, and it didn’t matter what degrees you had, and you didn’t have to worry about money or any technical things, what job would you want?” It didn’t take long for me to answer “Travel Blogger”. And […]
Our Semi Frugal Summer Vacation- Camping During a Meteor Shower!
The last two years my kids and I camped together on the beach for a few days, and it was great. But my kids requested that this year we go camping in a place with water and trees, and not on a beach. So I told them I’d try to find a place. Then about […]
How To Get To the Alps From Vienna, Costs, and How to Do it Cheaply- My Frugal Trip to Vienna, Day 6, Part 2
Ok, I’m back at home and in quarantine for the next 12 days, made it back just before flights were all canceled (they told me I took the last plane out of Austria to my country for the indefinite future), and now schools have been canceled for the foreseeable future. So that’s fun. But instead […]
My Frugal Trip To Vienna, Day Six, My Day Trip to the Alps – Part 1
On my sixth day in Vienna I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine, and check off something from my bucket list- I visited the Alps. I think I’ve dreamed of going to the Alps since watching the Sound of Music as a kid. Though the Alps cover many countries in Europe, they […]
My Frugal Trip to Vienna, Days 4 and 5!
One of the things I’ve had to internalize on previous trips of mine, some taken when I was dealing with the depths of my depression, was that as much as I enjoy trips, as much as I love traveling, and as excited as travel makes me, I can’t expect my trips to get rid of […]
My Frugal Trip To Vienna, Days 2 and 3!
I have been in Vienna already 3 days, and its been a great trip so far. First off, I have to say that this is my first time staying in a hostel, and I’m sad that this is only my first time, because I feel like I missed out on so many fun things I […]
