Beautiful Central Slovakia: Žilina and Terchová
When my partner and I spent a few months travelling in Europe in 2023, we started off in Bratislava, Slovakia's capital on its western border with Austria. Then, we ventured east into Slovakia’s mountainous northern region. We spent a week in Žilina, the country's 4th largest city, near the borders with Czechia and Poland. Then, we headed to the nearby village of Terchová to explore the Malá Fatra mountains.

The Town With The Shortest Name Is A Hidden Gem
Tucked away at the farthest edge of Norway’s Lofoten Islands, there’s a village with a name so short it barely looks like a word at all. Å. Just one letter. No extra syllables, no fancy pronunciation, just Å. It sounds almost like a mystery, a place that shouldn’t exist but does. And yet, this tiny village is more than just an odd name on a map. It’s a living piece of history, a breathtaking natural wonder, and a spot where time seems to move at a different pace.

Although my sister and I waited for half of an hour for the next bus to arrive, I would not let it spoil my mood. Skin faced towards the sun, bursting through the frosted air, I thought to myself, I am still in Prague.

TALLINN, ESTONIA
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Tallinn, Estonia, for work. Estonia is a small Baltic Sea nation that borders Russia and Latvia and is south of Finland across the Gulf of Finland. Estonia’s history includes foreign occupation by Germany, Sweden, and Russia (including the Soviet Union) until its independence in 1991. In 2004, Estonia joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Estonia became one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies and, since then, has provided Ukraine with more than 1.4% of its GDP in military assistance. Estonia’s history provided context for my travel and observations in Tallinn, the nation’s capital.
