PART TWO – SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO

The rest of my time in Zagreb was packed full of activities.

Between family dinners, games, more karaoke, more dancing, dropping V-Bombs, romantic breakfasts, climbing contraptions, going for walks, getting a haircut, scheming, drinking, flirting, fighting homophobia, staying up all night, writing, drinking smoothies, studying torture, and getting in fights with inanimate objects Continue reading “Stuck in Zagreb – Part 2”

Zagreb.

So many things to say about Zagreb.

Too much for one post.

PART ONE – MEETING THE FAMILY

My time in Zagreb got off to a bit of a slow start. I spent most of my first evening and first full day there working on outlining an idea for a television show that I had been kicking Continue reading “Stuck in Zagreb – Part 1”

Sarajevo immediately endeared itself to me. I’m not sure what exactly it was about the city but it just had this welcoming feeling to me. Maybe it’s because the city is a little gritty and this reminded me of my hometown of Tacoma. I’m not sure, but there was definitely something. Sarajevo is a “young” city Continue reading “A Double Dose Of Franz Ferdinand”

After we left the shopping center the Polish girls and I headed to Trebinje a small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina, propelling B & H ahead of Croatia on my list of countries I have visited. We walked around the town for a little bit and saw pretty much all it had to offer. We then went Continue reading “Lights, Camera, Dubrovnik!”

I arrived in Podgorica and unlike my previous two destinations I was dropped off where I expected and my map got me to my hostel easily enough. After getting checked in I used the bathroom and was delighted to see no signs saying to put my toilet paper in the bin rather than flushing it. It’s a very little Continue reading “Day Trips, Dog, & Delicious Dishes”

Our trip to Oslo was top secret. Highly classified stuff. My friend wanted to surprise his mother with a post card from the Viking Museum there, so the three of us were on information lockdown. The only person I told who could possibly leak the information was my mother and I swore her to secrecy.
It was before Continue reading “The Oslo File: Declassified”

My arrival in Tirana, Albania got off to much the same start as my arrival in Prishtina. I was not dropped off where I expected, but instead of receiving nice straightforward instructions from the driver like I had in Prishtina I got nothing and was forced to figure It out all by myself. There were cabs Continue reading “Village Cooked In Wooden Stove”

I left Skopje in the late afternoon and took the bus to Prishtina, Kosovo. Those who know me know that I do not have a phone. I have never had a smart phone and since I left on my trip I haven’t had any phone at all. There are certainly some things that would be easier Continue reading “Not A Tourist Destination…Yet”

When I was up in Scandinavia for the holidays I began planning a two month trip through the Balkans and up into Austria and then back down to Sofia, which I would depart on a few days after arriving back to base. The first stop on my trip was Skopje, Macedonia where I would be spending five nights Continue reading “Did You Know Skopje Has Statues?”

My first trip to Copenhagen was a short stay. I got off my plane, went through the airport, went down to the train station, waited there for a little while, then got on the train and went to Sweden.

The End.

Okay, my second trip was still short but was a little longer and more memorable Continue reading “A Brief Stop In Copenhagen”
