The 7 Rila Lakes, Bulgaria -Davie

After driving from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, we stayed in a small town near the 7 Rila Lakes. The 7 Rila Lakes are located south of Sofia, near the border of North Macedonia. The 7 Rila Lakes are made for hiking, so we did a 4 hour hike seeing all of the lakes. There was even snow at the top! But before we started the hike, we took a long chairlift to the base of the hike, like Whistler! 


After the hike we stayed over night in our hotel and then began to drive to North Macedonia in the morning. In the middle of the car ride, we stopped at the Rila monetary, a very popular monetary just outside the North Macedonian border.

Packing for a 9 month trip -Davie

Since we are traveling for a very long time, it's hard at first to decide what to pack! So even if you are going away for 1 month or more, these are the things that I highly recommend to pack in your suitcase! What to pack in your backpack: If you are traveling for a long time, it will get SO annoying if your backpack is very heavy, so I highly recommend to not put very heavy things in your backpack. In my backpack I have:  -my Nintendo switch -my homework  -my basketball  -and my water bottle  Also, try to think VERY carefully about what you are packing. I have sent countless things home with my friends and family. At the end of Japan, we sent a whole suitcase of things back with my Obachama and my Ojichama. For example, don't bring big fat headsets, try to bring airpods, earbuds, or wired earbuds if you can find them. Also things such as pants (bring only one pair), towels (most hotels have them), and big hoodies (don't pack more then one).  Get a cross body b...

Top Apps & Sites for Travel (Angie)

Travel Apps We Rely On We didn't have much planned before we left Vancouver for our 9-month trip. So we've been planning and booking as we go. Here are the important apps and sites we've been using! FLIGHT APPS To watch for the best flight deals, I've used Hopper and Skyscanner . Admittedly, when we go to book, we don't usually click from there but rather try to book directly with the airline to get the best deals AND to make sure we really understand the luggage allowances!  Tip : Skyscanner watches RyanAir discount flights in Europe, whereas Hopper does NOT seem to include that. Of course to minimize our costs, we have also maximized our points from Avion and Aeroplan! Luckily, managed to use points for 3 big flights. SHARED TRAVEL ITINERARY Since we're both contributing to booking flights, trains, cars, accomodations and tours, we share it all with each other in TripIt. We use the free version, but it has been so great to keep track of all our bookings, date...

Top 5 Highlights and Lowlights of the Balkans (Angie)

Image
We spent a month travelling the Balkans on a road trip, doing a loop that started and ended in Thessaloniki, Greece.  On the one hand, a month felt too long, as things like history and architecture started getting repetitive. On the other hand, we felt rushed through some places and felt we could've spent more time in them. I loved some parts, but didn't love other areas as much. Here are my highlights and lowlights! My 5 Highlights of the Balkans 1. Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina This city was so unique, and so wonderful. I have never been to a city like this ever (and I've been to alot). With so much conflict and horrible events of the recent past, I wasn't sure what to expect. But you can really feel and see the multi-cultural, multi-religion make up of the city (Muslims from the Ottoman era, Catholic Croats, and Orthodox Christian Serbs). This may be the only place I've been to where I've heard (Catholic) church bells ringing, right before the call of pr...
