To the dear readers of EuropeString,
Please accept my apologies for not being there for the past 2 months. Real life and work got in the way. With “real life”, I mean my 2 young kids. At work, we’ve had some emergencies which meant that I had to travel even more than usual.
No, those are not […]

Earlier this week, during a working visit to Barcelona, I was able to try out the Barcelona Student JetPack which Tarkan sent to me from the UK.

It’s been labeled a “must” for those traveling to Verona. I, on the other hand, consider it (paying to go inside Casa di Giulietta to see the balcony) a tourist trap.

Shakespeare’s Juliet did NOT really speak from this balcony.
Even if there were 2 feuding families in Verona, no one has really proven the existence […]
Unlike in the USA where Rule 240 will not protect you anymore, the European Union has strict rules on Passenger Rights and Air Safety. They have made sure that you are protected when there are cancellations and long delays.
“This new piece of legislation has introduced significant improvements to the protection of air passengers’ rights in […]
What if you got lucky in Verona and would want to spend a romantic evening out… where can you take her without having to spend a lot?
Here’s one suggestion of where you can go, with different options on what you can do:
Take her to Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheatre where they have opera performances.

Greetings from the romantic city of Verona. I’ve been to nearby Bologna and Venice before but this is the first time I have ever made it here.
It’s a charming city and from what I have seen, it is obvious why it is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

In my opinion, Lonely Planet should slash their Marketing budget. The money they save on that should just be used to slash down the prices of their books.
Why?! Because backpackers / budget travelers are like walking advertisements of Lonely Planet.
I see them reading their copies everywhere… on the steps of that famous landmark, waiting […]
