My Italy Bucket List

November 18, 2021 by etchedinadventure

Day 1 in Rome, Italy (10/24/21): -Traveling from Egypt to Rome was an absolute nightmare. The spirits were $25USD, the taxi took me to the wrong terminal, and the metro to transfer to my correct terminal 2 miles away was closed so I had to take a second taxi. I checked in online but it wasn’t accepted at passport control so I had to go back and check-in again in-person.-When I got to Rome, the immigration officer tells me that […]

My Ukraine Bucket List

November 11, 2021 by etchedinadventure

Day 1 & 2 in Kyiv, Ukraine (9/20/21-9/21/21): -There are exchange places all over the city center with much better rates than the airport.-No one yields to pedestrians and I hate it.-Ukrainian banks have PINs for their credit cards. It was an initially awkward, heated conversation explaining to my receptionist that USA credit cards don’t have PINs because he pretty much thought I was stupid.-Ukraine and Estonia are the only countries I’ve been to on this trip that are weirdly […]

My Tallinn Bucket List

November 11, 2021 by etchedinadventure

Day 1 & 2 in Tallinn, Estonia (9/17/21-9/18/21): -This is my sixth country so far on this trip and I don’t care what anyone says. Everyone worldwide appreciates a good tip.-I tried pig ears. I thought they were only treats for dogs but turns out they aren’t half bad.-Tallinn is beautiful but, so far, seems overrated and is my least favorite of the three Baltics. What little there is to do here can be done in a day or two […]

My Riga Bucket List

November 9, 2021 by etchedinadventure

Days 1 & 2 in Riga, Latvia (9/12/21-9/13/21): -You can’t access gyms without a digital COVID vaccination record, which the US doesn’t have so I was denied entry at three gyms.-By dumb luck, I found on outside gym called Ghetto Park that is one euro a day to workout at.-I would easily argue the women here are among the most beautiful in the world.-I am infatuated with the Art Nouveau architecture here. The city has a charm I can’t describe […]

My Vilnius Bucket List

November 8, 2021 by etchedinadventure

Day 1 in Vilnius, Lithuania (9/9/21): -Vilnius is a super clean city with easy and convenient public transportation.-Every other car is a Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, or Lexus.-The baroque architecture is absolutely fantastic.-I’ve backpacked Europe 5 times and have never seen or been given 100 Euro bills until today.-I spent last night getting my ass kicked in chess playing locals. Day 2 in Vilnius, Lithuania (9/10/21): -There’s another Shaun from Florida here who owns a bar called Stars and Stripes in […]

My Vienna Bucket List

January 23, 2020 by etchedinadventure

Vienna is on numerous lists for best places to visit in the world, especially in Europe. Why? There’s a lot to do and something for everyone no matter if you’re a foodie, artsy, or a partier. In addition, it’s not nearly as expensive as countries in western or northern Europe and the city center is very walk-able whilst also having safe, affordable, and efficient public transportation. Food-wise I ate mostly at their amazing Naschmarkt and top ranked Christmas markets and […]

My Bratislava Day Trip

January 17, 2020 by etchedinadventure

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 etchedinadventure

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 […]

My Berlin Bucket List

February 21, 2017 by etchedinadventure

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 […]
