How to visit Stonehenge….for free?

As you might have seen on our travel map, since a few weeks we are in the U.K. And of course we can’t leave the United Kingdom without having seen the famous highlights, like Stonehenge! On our way from London to Bristol we suddenly discovered that Stonehenge was on our way, and of course we […]

We attempted to get to Romania yesterday, but the border crossing of our choice (Jasa Tomic/Foeni) was only open from 7:00 to 19:00. We left Novi Sad in Serbia […]

10 things to do in Osijek – a personal travel guide

Because of a peculiar reason I have been staying in the Croatian city of Osijek for two months now. Osijek is not your typical Croatian tourist destination. Why? First of all: it is all the way in the eastern tip of the country, far away from the coast and the capital where most tourists go. Secondly: […]
