My Budapest Bucket List

January 22, 2020 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Philly: London: Budapest: Budapest has easily become one of my favorite cities in the world. Why? It’s exceptionally affordable, safe, and it’s located in central Europe which makes traveling to other European countries extremely convenient. What’s more is Budapest just has so much to see and do! For example, I went to an opera performance translated to “The Bat” at Erkel Theater because their main opera house was undergoing renovations. I sat nearly front row for a little more than […]

My Bratislava Day Trip

January 17, 2020 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, originally one-half of Czechoslovakia. it’s a less-visited country compared to it’s other, original half in the Czech Republic. Why? Frankly, Slovakia is considered to be a little less of everything. Not quite as much nightlife, not as many things to do, and not as livable especially when compared to Prague. Both countries are apart of the EU, but only Slovakia uses the Euro as a form of currency while the Czech Republic uses Czech […]

How to Spend a Weekend in Krakow

March 27, 2017 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Krakow, Poland was a place I came to for one reason, to see Auschwitz-Birkenau. Why? Because I love history and for whatever reason I’ve always had a fascination with World War 2 from playing first-person shooter games like Medal of Honor on Playstation 1 to re-watching films like Inglorious Bastards and The Pianist multiple times throughout the years. Quite simply learning about what people are capable of doing and enduring, good and bad, intrigues me in every way. Krakow is […]

18 Things You Must Do In Prague

March 17, 2017 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Dedicated to my instructors Adrienne and Kenny, and my grandfather Yap Kim Hao. “Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” I came to Prague for a month to earn my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification. I had recently been to several countries in Western Europe so I found myself constantly trying to absorb the culture but at the same time naturally comparing to life in the USA, Singapore, […]

My Berlin Bucket List

February 21, 2017 by Shaun Li Stoffer

What brought me to Berlin? Quite frankly I found a cheap one-way ticket for $250 flying overnight from my home in Orlando, Florida. I had heard the reviews about Norwegian Air being a sketchy budget airline but have to admit it was the best flight I’ve had in a long time. I had the whole row to myself and watched movies the entire flight. The only gimmick is that everything costs something while flying Norwegian from baggage to meals to […]

The Most Underrated in Amsterdam

February 1, 2017 by Shaun Li Stoffer

It’s no secret Amsterdam is infamously known as the place to party in Europe on top of boasting two of the most popular attractions in the Netherlands in the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum. However, I learned from my time spent here that there is much much more to Amsterdam than what the tourist map tells you! Canals: Wandering the canals is how to stumble upon the best cafes, coffeeshops, and breathtaking views. It’s near impossible to stroll […]
