Wanting to travel in a family of staycationers
Hi everyone, welcome to my travel blog! My name is Simona and I have been travelling for five years. However, it has not always been this way. Indeed, I was born in a family of chronic staycationers: my parents have always spent most of the year working and, once they got their PTO, they would always spend it at home, cleaning or fixing something instead of taking an actual break.
The Simple TravelPublished 2 days ago in WanderOne of the World’s Narrowest Streets is Located in Vrbnik
Fairy tale. This is the first word that comes to mind as you approach the enchanting town of Vrbnik on Krk Island,Croatia. Nestled on the landward side, the town is surrounded by vineyards where the indigenous Vrbnik Žlahtina wine variety is cultivated. The name Žlahtina derives from the Slavic adjective “žlahten,” meaning noble. The natural beauty of this landscape is complemented by the sky-blue sea, whose gentle murmur can be heard beneath the 50-meter high rock upon which Vrbnik is perched.
Somewhere Only We Know
Throughout my six-month post-college-graduation Europe backpacking trip, there were whispers about the best hostel ever. “It was so cozy,” a starry-eyed backpacker exclaimed. “It felt like coming home,” another backpacker sighed. “It’s got a dog,” another promised. However, no one could pronounce the name of the town it was in, and few people even remembered the name of the hostel.

Rebecca PattonPublished 6 days ago in WanderThe Second Visit
PART III Andrea invited me to visit her again, our "do-over." So much had happened in the two years since I saw her in person. A month after I returned from the Oxford visit, I rushed to my mother's bedside to be with her in her final weeks of life. It was an opportunity to share words, space, love, and companionship with her one last time, one I would have missed had I not chosen to cut my trip short because of the pandemic.

The Midnight Madness
Amidst the quiet hum of the small town of Willow Creek, nestled beneath a canopy of ancient trees, there stood a carnival—an ephemeral spectacle that materialized only under the veil of night. Within its labyrinthine confines, where the scent of cotton candy mingled with the faint whispers of the wind, there lay a sinister secret—a ghost train that traversed the darkness, its passengers destined for a journey beyond the realms of the living.
Italy: My Solo Adventure In Florence
Italy had been on my list forever. It was like that crush you can’t help but daydream about. So, last year in May, I finally decided that it was time to turn those daydreams into reality and I booked my first solo trip to Italy. There were going to be a lot of firsts including this one being my first time to a new country altogether by myself. I had already booked my tickets to Milan while I was on a trip to Wales during Easter. So, that meant that I couldn’t back out now. I wasn’t going to anyway because I was too excited to go there!
