When we decided to come to Serbia to celebrate my 53rd birthday, we were delighted when we found the amazing Dash Star Hotel that is just out of the main center of Novi Sad, Serbia – but only 5 minutes by car into the thriving little city. We parked outside in their private car park […]
Interview – Exploramum and Mom with Backpack In our first year after we started our journey, we heard from a lady in Italy who was following our blog. We became Facebook friends. And, we chatted every now and then on messenger. When we told her of our plans to come to Italy, she and her […]
It has been a bit of a surprise that we found ourselves back in Serbia (we visited for one night last year), and even more so, heading to Belgrade. We really hadn’t planned it all that well – in truth, we hadn’t really even planned it! So when we contacted Rentastan, we were really pleased […]
Spending Sunday in the Salubrious Sisley Spa in Serbia This week was my 53rd birthday, and it turned out to be a great week, and it was going to end perfectly. It started with us driving from the top northern border of Romania, through Hungary and ending up in Novi Sad for a few days. […]

There are two main buildings set in a beautiful garden environment, just a short drive from the bypass. The Hotel Sucevic has a great choice of rooms and suites, from small […]
Last year we traveled through Serbia at lightning speed. In fact, it was all of 24 hours with a quick, but wonderful stay. But we had a taste of Serbia. And this taste of wonderful Serbian hospitality and friendship made us want to come back for more. So for this reason, we decided to choose […]
One of the most challenging blogs I’ve wanted to share with you from our world trip so far is this one. Romania has stolen my heart, and I am simply in love with the diversity, beauty, and splendor that unfolded before me, over these past weeks. I have about 200 photographs I could load up […]
Nestled on the edge of Sighetu Marmației town, next to the lovely Mill Garden Park (or Gradina Morii Parcel) is Hotel Gradina Morii. The perfect place for us to base ourselves to explore the famous wooden churches and monasteries in the area. It is a luxury hotel that has been recently renamed and captures the […]
We woke to serenity in a small country town in Romania, called Viscri. It is tucked away off the main road that leads from Brasov to Sighisoara. Here in the still of the winter’s morning as the sun rises, there is only the odd horse and cart coming down the road. Awww – and a […]
It is with sad regret said good-bye to all our new Romania friends we met over the New Year period at Biertan. Meeting such lovely people has been a delight, but saying farewell, and never knowing if we shall see them again is one of the hardest parts of travel. Romania has proven to be a […]
