Switzerland on a Budget

Written by: Amanda // Category: Expenses, Switzerland, travel tips

Switzerland has been named year after year as one of the most expensive countries in the world (currently rated #2 with Bermuda taking the gold), so I can understand why, for the budget traveler, it can be a rather intimidating place to visit. When we found out Derik had a spontaneous four-day weekend earlier this month, we thought taking a trip down to the Swiss Alps might be just what our wanderlusting souls needed. The only problem was, we hadn’t budgeted for a trip, let alone a trip to one of the most pricey locations on the planet. *insert thinking emoji face* After a few hours of researching hotels, trains, buses, food, and locations, we decided Interlaken would be the best place for us to stay, and a good starting point to visit ...

A couple weeks ago a friend contacted me about taking a spontaneous trip to Krakow, Poland. I don’t know if it’s just because November is considered 'off-season' or Ryanair was having a promo, but I found direct airfare there for only 5 euro and 30 euro back. Yes, FIVE EURO.

Thankfully our plans were flexible — we had a 'must-do’ list, but quite a few things we did weren’t actually on the schedule until we ... Read More

There’s nothing more beautiful than experiencing the sunrise or a sunset on the ocean. Although the Philippines wins in my book for best sunsets in the entire world, Croatia definitely gave it a run for its money while we were sailing through the Dalmatian Islands with Medsailors. After our overnight in Vis, we took off for Hvar (enjoyed some swimming activities along the way) and spent the evening in Korcula Town before heading over to Stari Grad. The day was a blur of sun, sailing, dolphins (didn’t grab my camera quick enough), seafood, drinks at sunset, and tons and tons of laughter and games. Do I even need to mention the gorgeous location?!? I couldn’t get over it. Our port stop was a bit of a drive from Korcula Town, ... Read More
