Euro Trip 2025: Bologna aperitivo
We fully embraced the spirit of aperitivo during our month in Bologna, typically going out for a pre-dinner drink and snack Wednesdays through Sundays. Medulla Vini - We visited here a couple years back and had a good experience but it was weird this time. It was a...
Euro Trip 2025: Bologna, overview and where we stayed
When people ask about our favorite city in Italy, we vacillate between Rome (for the sights and sheer history) and Bologna (for the food). After enjoying our previous trips to Bologna (2017, 2023) we wanted to come back for a longer stint, and this year we were...
24 hours in Greensboro, NC
We had a free holiday day and an expiring hotel credit, so on Friday morning we decided to spend 24 hours in Greensboro, NC. Our first stop was Gateway Gardens, a small public park with whimsical sculptures. It was a sunny but cold day so we were the only ones out and...
Euro Trip 2025: Treviso sites

Euro Trip 2025: Treviso food and drink
Located right around the corner from our place, we visited All’ Antico Pallone twice. The first time to wait for our apartment to become available and the second time as a snack break to rest our feet. On the first visit, we both ordered a glass of the Prosecco col...
Euro Trip 2025: Treviso – overview and where we stayed
We originally chose Treviso because it was reachable via a direct shuttle ride from the bus station in Ljubljana to the Treviso airport. From there, we caught the Airlink to the main bus terminal, a trip that cost 5€ per ticket for 10 minute ride. This ticket also...
Euro Trip 2025: Slovenia – a day in Ljubljana
We spent our last day in Slovenia in the capital, Ljubljana, where having a car was unnecessary. So we dropped our car at the airport before noon and headed to the bus stop. The airport info desk said we couldn't buy bus tickets ahead of time, so we found shade and...
Euro Fall Trip: Slovenia – Bovec food + drink
Monday After our day of detours we decided to try our luck at the always crowded Thirsty River Brewing. We split a smash burger and a sausage plate, accompanied by the 'wrong bar' redcurrant sour triple for Eric (really good, nice tartness) and the 'on my way' porter...

Hello! This website chronicles the travel adventures of a computational biologist and a WordPress website developer (with past entries of our 😇 rescued mini schnauzers, Riesling and Pasha).
We’ve steadily increased our travel over the last several years and that is the focus of our blog currently, but you can read older ‘daily life‘ and ‘canine‘ posts by clicking on those links.
