Travel in Yerevan, Armenia

November 8, 2018 By Hangry Backpacker Leave a Comment

Travel Yerevan Armenia

Overshadowed by the mysterious Mount Ararat, Yerevan lies in the Southern Caucasus, bridging Europe and the Middle East. For thousands of years, Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, has been an important city for religion, travel, military strategy, regional politics, Armenian history and culture.

Prague, Escape from the Tourists

October 30, 2018 By Hangry Backpacker Leave a Comment

Prague is full of tourists. Over the last several years, Prague consistently ranks in the top five most-visited European cities. By numbers, the capital of the Czech Republic, Czechia as it is now called, is a more popular destination than more famous cities of Berlin, Munich or Athens. The reason why is no mystery. With the dissolution of the Iron Curtain, much of Central and Eastern Europe was opened up to foreigners for the first time in decades.

Five Reasons to Visit Old Tbilisi

October 24, 2018 By Hangry Backpacker Leave a Comment

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia (the country), a tiny place most people know little, if anything, about. When plotting the location – Georgia is sandwiched between Russia and Turkey on the eastern Black Sea and is a stone’s throw from Iran and Iraq – many naive travelers instantly write it off due to unwarranted fears.

Nestled in the Southern Caucasus mountains, Georgia has withstood a long and tumultuous history and preserved its inimitable culture. A little bit Europe and a little bit Asia yields a destination that should be on every travel list. [Read more…] about Five Reasons to Visit Old Tbilisi

The Magnolia State! I've always thought Magnolia The Magnolia State! 

I've always thought Magnolias are cool flowers, all the way back to 3rd grade when I brought one from my grandparents house to show the class.  Nyctinasty (plant circadian rhythm!) - fascinsting how they respond to light, opening in the day and closing at night. Not sure the other 8-9 year olds were impressed 😆

I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower of Tirana, offers great views over Skanderbeg Square.

From the top, you can see that Tirana is different than what people may assume. It's green and lively with a mountain backdrop, modern and historic at the same time.

The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthod The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthodox church sits on the cliffside between old town and Berat Castle. Though it isn't the most majestic church, it dates back to the Byantine era of the 14th Century and has great views.

The walk up may be difficult for some, but it's easier and shorter than it appears from street level. To my surprise, only a few other people were up there the whole time we were looking around.
