Stunning Montenegro
I’m changing destinations again, this time it’s a super fast jaunt, only 3.5 hours long with a short layover in Vienna. I am glad to be leaving Budva, it has been somewhat disappointing and I have had a terrible time with my Airbnb which I will explain in a future post. For now, it’s a …
Its always fun to create these posts and usually I have no shortage of idea’s. Budva however, has not been the most exciting destination, nor one with a whole lot to see and do. After spending a couple of weeks, I have come up with 5 free things to do in Budva Montenegro that might …

By far, the better coastal area in Budva is Becici. Still part of the same municipality, this is where the city shines. This extensive seaside beach is classier, cleaner and offers visitors a better experience than Slovenska Beach in Budva. Come explore beautiful Becici Beach in Montenegro and I’ll show you why its superior. Getting …
Needing to escape the confines of the city, I looked at my map to see where I could hike to that would get me into nature. Finding two options, I did both of these small expeditions on different days, in the early morning hours. Hiking into the Budva countryside offers amazing views of the bay. …

I visited Montenegro last year, in September, and at that time I was staying in the city of Tivat. My trip was only twelve days long, but it gave me a taste of the country. I’ve decided to come for another visit. Today I went exploring quaint & beautiful Old Town Budva, an ancient walled …
Having spent just about two weeks in Tivat last year, I thought Budva would be very similar. I have been surprised to see that it is quite different. This is the most visited city in the small country. I’ve come at the height of tourist season which will undoubtedly reflect my views. My first impressions …
Its time to change destinations again. I have been in Bosnia for a decent amount of time and thoroughly enjoyed my summer here. Now I’m heading to a neighbouring country! My travel day Bosnia to Montenegro via Copenhagen on SAS was pretty good, all things considered. Meet Bosnia Airport Shuttle First thing is figuring out …
In an effort to help others planning to travel or explore overseas, I will document my expenses for each country I lived in during the 2023 year. I didn’t keep records for the first 2.5 months in Mexico as almost everything was paid for in cash. Beginning with the next destination, here are my budget …
Today marks one year since I left Canada on this adventure. I didn’t know what to expect, or how long I would last out in this big, beautiful and daunting world. I have not only survived, but thrived in most instances. On my one year travel anniversary, I want to let everyone know I am …

As is the norm for me, I went on a walk-a-bout this morning and discovered the most beautiful seaside village of Donja Lastva. Staying in Tivat, I have been surrounded by a fair amount of newness, in fact, the city is the fastest growing municipality in Montenegro. When I stumbled onto Donja, I was whisked …
I have landed in a plant haven! From the first day I arrived, I noticed how much naturally occurring exotic fruits and flowers were surrounding me here in this seaside village in Montenegro. Beautiful flowers & plants around Tivat are what have been filling my camera roll every single day. Flowers It is August, the …
Being situated in the Bay of Kotor, I knew I would be surrounded by all things marine. What I didn’t know is just how luxurious Porto Montenegro and marinas of Tivat actually are. I know virtually nothing about boats and boating life, but I can certainly admire the beauty of these vessels. Porto Montenegro The …
Being a walker, I explored the area south of Tivat and stumbled onto a large public park. I kept to the shoreline and enjoyed the picturesque views of the bay and undisturbed coastline. After returning to my flat, I learned that this was Zupa Park and an abandoned renaissance mansion is hiding at its core. …
The coastline around Tivat is a swimmer’s paradise. The water is crystal clear and oh so warm and places to have a dip are numerous. While these 6 beautiful beaches of Tivat are not sandy, they are indeed amazing places to sunbathe and enjoy all the Adriatic coastline has to offer. Belane Beach Starting with …
I decided it would be a good idea to go for a hike whilst I am surrounded by all of these stunning mountains. My goal was to reach Vrmac Fortress, but alas, those plans changed on a whim when conditions became unbearable. Instead, I ended up hiking to a church on Vrmac Mountain. Vrmac Mountain …
