Beyond the Iron Curtain: Experiences from Eastern Europe 10/29/15
There’s a myth/assumption saying that Eastern Europe is still too run down to visit as a tourist and that you should stay away. I’ll be honest, I had those assumptions too, but I still decided to go anyway. Once I got there, I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong and fell in love with the […]
