Whether embarking on a Eurotrip or a weekend jaunt to a foreign city, European travel requires some smart planning; you may know all the must-see landmarks, but we provide the hidden gems.
Podgorica at the Confluence of the Moraca and Ribnica Rivers
A beautiful country in southeastern Europe, Montenegro is part of the Balkans. To the west, it has a coastline with the Adriatic Sea. Podgorica isn’t one of the capitals which tourists usually choose to visit but it does have its charm and the beaches are great for taking a break in traveling and just relaxing. Its name translates to “under small hill”. It sits on the confluence of two rivers – the Moraca (to the west of it is the business district) and the Ribnica (dividing the east side of the city into two parts).

The day I missed my flight
British spelling Sometimes I simply forget some of my past experiences. Sometimes that is because the experience has been a little traumatic and some other times it’s because there is no reason why my brain should keep some information immediately available if there is no use for it.

The Pickpocketer's Survival Guide
The First Attempt My wife and I visited Italy to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary. It was on my wife’s bucket list of places to visit, and it was on my bucket list, too, but not as high. So we planned our trip nine months in advance, researching all the top sites in Rome. We even got into arguments about visiting other sites in Italy. Should we drive along the Amalfi coast, plan an afternoon in Positano and enjoy the breathtaking sea view from a quaint family-run trattoria, or visit the well-preserved ruins of Pompeii? As fate would have it, my wife won, and we did it all, plus throw in a day trip to Florence into the mix.
