Traveling in January has its perks. There are fewer tourists around and the flights are a lot cheaper. This is part of the reason for my three weekends abroad during the past month. Budapest and Tirana were eventually followed up with Kraków. This city in southern Poland was a nice return visit. It is almost…
Albania, a country that for years has been hiding from our radar, was for a long time one of the few countries in Europe that we hadn’t visited. Then eventually a travel opportunity occurred and a plan was created. Albania became my 45th-visited country on a solo trip to the capital Tirana. This is the…
It was a long time since we’d managed a couple’s getaway. So once we had found cheap flights to Budapest for a weekend and were able to get my parents to babysit Little A, we started making arrangements. Susann had actually visited Budapest at the end of November on a solo trip. For me, it…

One more week in Malta came to an end and we are since a few weeks back in Sweden. This was our first time visiting Malta in December, a month that usually doesn’t include much traveling for us. We flew to Malta with Ryanair from Stockholm Arlanda Airport. This time we decided to travel lightly…
Our last day in Malta eventually arrived. Susann and Little A were a bit tired after the long walks in Valletta the day before. I had instead not had enough of my hikes for this trip. My 20-kilometer hike from Blue Grotto to Dingli Cliffs and Mdina had been great and I was looking for…
After exploring the megalithic temples in Tarxien we were soon on our way to Valletta, the capital of Malta. We had visited the city earlier the same week but this time we wanted to explore the Christmas market and surrounding festivities. It was after all mid-December and the Maltese do take Christmas seriously. In addition,…
