A Day at Hohensalzburg: Where History and Heritage Collide
September 29, 2016, around 4 p.m., we made our way to Hohensalzburg Fortress. Nowadays, I always thoroughly prepare for my trips, but back then, 8 years ago, I didn’t realize the importance of researching the places I wanted to visit. Sometimes, being surprised is nice, like it was here. But more often than not, you just won’t understand what’s going on.
Salzburg Serenade: Following Mozart’s Trail
September 29, 2016. Austria? To be frank, it wasn’t even on my travel radar until this trip. If you asked me whether I wanted to go, I’d probably have said “Sure,” but it wasn’t exactly at the top of my list. My mind was all set on Germany.
Munich Unveiled: Navigating the Bavarian Capital
September 27, 2016. Excitement swirled within me as we embarked on our German adventure.

Against the gloomy backdrop of Saint Petersburg and Moscow, Bavaria’s vivid colors took me by surprise, painting a picture of unexpected splendor.
