Countries Covered
Hey Norbert,
I can’t believe how many countries you’ve covered off, stunning. You’ve done pretty much the whole of Europe, so how did you manage to omit Switz, Austria and Hungary?
As a trained architect I think you’ll love those places – you will see dwellings ranging from alpine log cabins to baroque town palaces, and the latest in train station extravaganzas.
Hi Barbara!
Oh, I’ve visited those countries, but I just haven’t had the opportunity to write about them (yet). And I agree with you, the architecture there is impressive! ANd not just the architecture, many things in all those countries make it well worth a visit.
Agree. I like good architecture but when it comes to travelling, people, food and nature get equally important.
Good luck with filling that gap, I look forward to reading your future pieces!
Thank you so much, Barbara! I have to agree with you. The people, the food, and nature form a big part of the experience of every place you visit. I think I actually love more the places where I have a really positive experience with people (like, getting to meet them more up close and sharing more than the typical “hello, how are you?” conversation).
Good tips about Travel. Tq 🙂
Thanks!

I LOVE to read your posts.just discover your site from somewhere. great sharing your story & experiences. i will recommend this site to my friends out there.
If you want my advice, i went to the end of the world with my family, chilean patagonia, i rented a campervan in AndesCampers, a very helpful and friendly company, their website has a lot of routes and tips about Chile that are very useful even if you need some information about what do you need to visit Chile!
They were an important part of my trip 😉
Wow, Great Tips And Very Helpful Specially For The New Travelers.
Hi there
Thanks for providing such great resources. I noticed on another article you recommend World Nomads, i have read few other travel blogs and they all seem to recommend world nomad as one of their preferred insurers, i personally have never used them before but will check it, do you also happen to know if their claim process is difficult?
thanks for the recommendation
Hi Andrew –
No, their claim process is not difficult at all and it can be done online.
Amazing Tips! Can you please suggest me the best season to travel from Europe side?
You can’t travel unless you have money, and getting paid to travel is something that is not easy to do. So, what should you do to have the funds to take a trip around the world? Well, there are no easy answers here but one thing is sure, you need to learn ways to manage and control your money. You also need to practice good money saving habits to supplement your income to make travel a reality.
