On the 3rd of January I completed a day trip out of Bucharest to visit Bran Castle. During this week, I was still on break from work and my brother was visiting from Australia. We wanted to take the opportunity to visit this famous castle, in the Transylvanian part of

On the day after Christmas, I went with a local guide to the Piatra Craiului mountains. I hiked about 13 kilometers in total and a large portion of that was hiking through snow. Because it was winter time I wasn't able to reach the top of the mountain

On Christmas day I traveled to Brasov, but on the way I stopped at a small mountain town called Sinaia. I had read online that there was a gondola there and I determined to find it, take it up the mountain and see how high I can go. I couldn&

I moved to Bucharest in early December but I didn't have the chance to explore the city until much later. On Christmas Eve I spent the morning on a call with my family, then for the afternoon I figured I might as well go to the Christmas markets.

This may honestly been my best day so far in Vienna. The entire previous day (the Saturday) and most of the night the snow fell, but the Sunday (3rd Dec) the sky cleared and the weather was wonderful. At the recommendation of a friend from church, I went out to

On Saturday the 2nd of December there was a large downpour of snow in Vienna. There had been a little bit of snow a week ago, but this Saturday was different, it snowed for the entire day and most of the night. Now I have seen snow before but for

On Sunday the 26th of November I went for a walk at Park Prater. The park extended for quite a distance and it was located to the east of the main city centre of Vienna. Here was the location of Stadtwanderweg 9, which was my goal. This post will be

While here in Vienna some of my friends from church told me about the Christmas markets (side-note: I found a local international Adventist church with services in English that I attended while in Austria). I learnt about the markets when I first arrived in Austria, and that the ones in

This was the imperial palace for the Habsburg dynasty and on Sunday the 12th of November I went to explore the surrounding gardens. Adjusting to becoming a digital nomad was challenging, and honestly still is. The first couple months especially were tough. In October I was sick twice! (Thankfully the

I completed this roughly 9.5 km walk on the 15th of October 2023. During the week before I had been researching hiking options in Vienna and I found there were a number of walk around the outskirts of Vienna. These walks are called Stadtwanderweg, which means 'city walk&

Something I very much like to do when I visit any new city is simply to have the opportunity to walk through it. On my first weekend in Vienna I did exactly this. I started in Westbahnhof a large train station near to where I am staying. From there I

Exploring Abu Dhabi on my way to Europe On my way to Europe, I had a little over a day layover in Abu Dhabi. For those of you who don't know, there was a bit of a story to how this happened. I was researching flights from Australia

I couldn't help quoting Bilbo Baggins for the title, this was how I felt when boarding that plane for Europe to become a digital Nomad. I was both excited and terrified as I boarded that plane. Excited as I finally was taking the step to travel the world
