From 16th century houses lining beautiful canals, to coffeeshops, and the Red Light District, this quirky city has always been on my list to explore.

4 Days In Salzburg: Part I

How To Plan A Trip Itinerary
With a couple of upcoming travels, I thought it would be best to document how exactly I go about about planning my trip itineraries. While it’s good to know what there is to do in a city/country you’re about to visit, and how to get around, it’s also good to be spontaneous and go with […]
