For months, we were building up to this very moment. The moment we needed to confirm our plane tickets moving back to the USA. Nothing could prepare us for how we’d feel when our departure from Austria became official. When our 2.5-year adventure of living in Salzburg and traveling Europe would...

Surviving Europe: Flohmarkt Treasures Finding Flea Markets in Austria - Feature

It’s been 2.5 years since we moved to Austria and it’s been 11 years since we developed the exhilarating (yet dangerous) hobby of flea market-ing.

Surviving Europe: What to Buy in Rovinj - Crafts and Souvenirs from Croatia - Feature

Rovinj is an artist’s world. It’s no wonder this little fishing village inspires creativity and imagination. The streets are painted in the most colorful pastel colors.
