travel with aimee

You guessed it, the travel day did not go as planned. I mean, three months interrailing, things are never gonna go smoothly the whole time. We found out that our train had now changed to a coach. So the 8hour journey was now gonna be even longer. Or so we thought. On the 21st of…

On the 20th of February we left Bled to set sail to Zagreb, another lay over spot before we were heading to Split, Croatia. This journey was painful. We got to the station decently early so sat down at Kava bar and had a drink each. When it got to a few minutes till our…

17th February – On my rough route one of my absolute no brainers was to go to Lake Bled in Slovenia. I’d seen so many photos of it and thought it was so magical and photogenic. So, that was where we were headed next, Bled! Our journey didn’t go quite to plan as setting off…

Leaving Venice was super sad as every minute I spent there i felt like i was living a fairytale. But, life as a backpacker means you have to keep on moving! This time we were heading to another part of Italy called Trieste. Not one of our places specifically on our route however a good…

Think of the most romantic place to spend a valentines. Somewhere that’s dreamy, romantic…and not Paris. My head goes straight to Venice. Luckily for me, I lived that dream valentines and it the most perfect valentines ever. On the 11th of February we waved goodbye to Rome to head to Venice. A lot of accommodations…

On the 8th of February we arrived in Rome. A major difference from Milan as the sun greeted us on arrival. The hostel we had booked was called Alessandro Palace and it was roughly £27 a night. It had a small communal kitchen (with free coffee!) and a little bar downstairs. Massive upgrade from where…

As someone who is an absolute organiser/control freak, I love to plan to the max. However Ben said for this adventure, we shouldn’t plan it, be spontaneous and play it by ear. Thank god we did exactly that. We agreed that i could plan a rough route but we could obviously veer off it if…

As much as the views of Switzerland had me in awe, entering Italy had me ecstatic. Italy has such a big hold on my heart. The music, the romance, the culture (can’t forget the spag bol!) So i was very excited to be heading that way and beginning our Italian chapter. Our first location was…

Leaving our interesting accommodation the previous night, our next stop was Switzerland. We headed to Bern first as Ben has family there whom were happy for us to stay the night. On arrival, we were greeted with some freshly squeezed blood orange juice (life changing!) and then his auntie offered to put our clothes in…

Okay so we didn’t actually stay long here at all, in fact it was a one night lay over to break up a journey. However, oh boy do i have a story to tell! After our little trip to luxembourg on the 2nd of February we headed to Nancy. We had found a decent apartment…
