A big lesson that I have learned on this trip is that I’ve got to let things go sometimes. Today I took a day trip from Prishtina to Prizren, which is a great idea by the way, but I accidentally got off at the wrong bus stop and was completely lost. Then I accidentally started…
Today I took another great day trip with the hostel (Buffalo Backpackers). Our first stop was a UNESCO site- the Novo Brdo Fortress. We drove up the hill in our VW van, expecting to simply walk around the outside of the fortress. The fortress is currently under reconstruction, and UNESCO does not allow anyone inside…
A few days ago I took a day trip with the hostel to the Accursed Mountains. I felt like I was in a movie with the gorgeous scenery around me, and due to our mode of transportation- an old school VW van. The Accursed Mountains received their name because

My sister and I went with two of her friends to meet with the Director of the Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Artifacts. Their offices are located in the oldest building in Prishtina, pictured…

Our flight left Dallas 2 hours late because there were several of us onboard who were…
My everyday struggle: what shoes should I wear with my outfit? I wear heels to work every day, but on the weekends it’s boots or cute sandals for me. You have limited space options when you travel, so how do you decide what to pack and what to leave home?
