December has been quite a month. We hopped a plane and headed back to Southeast Asia. There were a few reasons we came back. One, its cheap. While the ticket to get here was more than we would have liked, the cost of living and the price to travel around fits well with our budget. … Continue reading Yellow House KL
Casablanca
I'm about a month late on this post, but things have been busier than planned here in Malaysia: Casablanca is where we had our third workaway and was our home base during our time in Morocco. This workaway was by far the easiest and least time consuming. We were "guests" at an English language school … Continue reading Casablanca
Fes
For one week, Nick and I moved to the workaway school in Fes. Fes is a popular city for tourists and has been called the new Marrakech (from what I've seen online). The school itself was nice and the accommodation was much cleaner than our place in Casablanca. On Monday, we went with a teacher … Continue reading Fes
Marrakech
Ever since deciding to come to Morocco, I was excited to visit Marrakech. So when we settled into our new workaway and had the time to get away and explore, it was the first place I wanted to go. The train station is a short walk from our accommodation, so on Friday, we bought tickets. … Continue reading Marrakech
Rabat
Rabat is the capital of Morocco and only an hour away from Casablanca by train. Yesterday we went with a fellow workawayer to explore Rabat for the day. Getting to and from Rabat was much easier than I thought. The train leaves every half hour, so we had plenty to choose from and all the … Continue reading Rabat
Rome
Nick and I spent 5 days exploring/eating our way through Rome. While all the old buildings were lovely, I fell in love with all of their food. Everything was delicious (except for the time we tried to get an American breakfast). The first day, we visited the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We normally don't pay … Continue reading Rome
Sibenik/Dubrovnik
Sibenik Sibenik is a Croatian coastal city nearby the Krka National Park. We chose to come here because of the National Park, but decided to stay in the city for the few days we were there. Our guesthouse was high up on the hill and gave us great view of the surrounding islands. A few … Continue reading Sibenik/Dubrovnik
Plitvice Lakes
Wednesday and Thursday we spent in the Plitvice Lakes National Park. It was a beautiful place filled with waterfalls. It was like a combination of Watkins Glen and Delaware Water Gap, if you could somehow mush them together. We have so many pretty pictures from our hikes there. Here are some favorites: Because we bought … Continue reading Plitvice Lakes
Zagreb, Croatia
When Nick and I decided that we were going to travel after leaving China, we both had different ideas about where we wanted to go. We both knew that we wanted to go to Europe, so at least we agreed on something. He chose Greece and we were lucky to find great workaway hosts there. … Continue reading Zagreb, Croatia
Makry-Gialos
I can't believe our second workaway is finished and we're almost in Croatia! Our three weeks went by quick and it was definitely because we were having fun. Going into this workaway, we knew that it was going to be a good host and location based on the reviews from previous workawayers. The hotel is … Continue reading Makry-Gialos
