How to See Venice on a Budget

A few weeks ago, I was sitting around feeling overwhelmed about packing to move to the US. I turned to Samuel, who happened to be writing a paper for school, and said, "Hey, what about our one last trip in Europe before we move?"

Samuel sighed and got up and pointed to the calendar, "These three days I am free. You can plan a trip if you want, but just try to make it cheap."

About an hour later, I had booked flights and a hotel in Venice.

Even on the plane we were thinking, "What are we doing?! We don't have time to be taking this trip!"

But as soon as we stepped into the city, we knew we had made the right decision.

How to Spend a Week in Rome {On a Budget!}

As you may have noticed, I have been absent from the blogging world for about a month and a half. This is because German schools have an awesomely long spring break, so Samuel and I decided to make the most of it the become world travelers. We've been in Rome, all around the US, and even in Paris for a day on the way back to Berlin.

You may be impressed that I'm writing this post so promptly after my return to Berlin while I'm still in a fierce battle with jet lag (What, five days later isn't impressive?), but the truth is, Samuel has decided that we were doing some spring cleaning today, so I needed a good excuse to escape for a few minutes. So here you go, a post about our amazing (and cheap!) week in Rome.

How to See London in One Day

 


My sister visited us here in Berlin in December and we had a totally awesome time. Not only did we show her all the great sights here, but we also fulfilled her lifelong dream of spending the day in London. London was never on my list of top travel destinations, but I'm so glad we went. It was way cooler than I ever dreamed.

Here I will write a post for you about our day in London and give you as many tips as I can so your experience in London can be as fun as ours was.
