My time in Tirana back in 2021 was brief, less than 24 hours. But as I am wrapping up my other few posts from the trip, I thought I’d share some of my photos of the Albanian capital.

Two Days in Switzerland: Day 2 – Rheinfall and Schaffhausen
My second day in Switzerland is spent on a day trip to Rheinfall and Schaffhausen, two spots in the lowlands that get far less attention than the amazing Alps. With limited time, they made for a great itinerary, and I was even able to enjoy Zurich for an hour before moving onward during my week in Europe.
Two Days in Switzerland: Day 1 – Lake Lucerne and Mount Rigi
After a late arrival into Zurich, I wake up refreshed enough to tackle a day trip to Lucerne and Mount Rigi. As my first full day in Switzerland, it ends up being a perfect way to start my week in Europe. Although I only have two days in this country, I do my best to make the most of it.

With so much history and so little time, I settle for an overview of much of what Athens offers. Spread around the Aeropagus is the ancient Greek agora, the general meeting place of the city. There are plenty of ruins to see, plus the Parthenon. A mere 24 hours in Athens is nowhere near enough.
Kosovo Day Trip: A Serbian Monastery, Peja, and Mountain Hospitality
If you visit Kosovo, make sure you get out of Pristina. The capital city is certainly worth exploring for a day, not to mention its one euro macchiatos. But not hitting the Kosovo countryside would be a real tragedy. So, make sure you plan at least one Kosovo day trip.
Pristina: My Experience Visiting the Capital of Kosovo
When I mention Kosovo, many people don't know where it is. If they do, they immediately associate it with the war at the end of the 1990s. Although the country has been stable for a couple decades, it's not a typical tourist destination. Small, landlocked, and without any postcard-worthy city skylines or well-known history, it has only a few hundred thousand foreign visitors each year.
