Our spring break was twelve days of no school, so I had to take a trip to see some of the places still on my list AND to return to one of my favorites. 

Vienna, Austria: "drink coffee and eat cake" DONE. Vienna was a beautiful city, but as a twenty-three traveler, who thrives with more outdoor activities AND someone who is on a budget, it was not my place. It was quite expensive and there weren't a lot of free activities. But the cake was delicious at Vollpension Café and I had to keep drinking coffee because the wind was relentless. 

Ljubljana, Slovenia: A DREAM!!!!!!!! The capital was maybe a 20 minute walk from one side to the other. It has it's own personality and immediately became one of my favorite destinations. The hostel was cozy and home-y with a lot of solo travelers. Add that it was an hour bus ride to two beautiful lakes and the perfect backdrop of mountains. It is one of those places that gives you a book for a euro because they couldn't break your 10 euro bill. A place where the hostel asks if you want to pay now or at the end of your trip and just trusts you'll remember to pay. 

And finally back to Pellestrina near Venice. A place that never fails to feel like home. There is something comforting about the journey there, even though I have yet to get it right. Picnics in the lagoon and taking a boat ride to eat delicious pizza for dinner. Gelato and hours laying in the sun. Exploring the nearby islands and riding bikes from one end to the other. It quickly became a happy place for me and I am so grateful for it. 

Thankful for this sweet trip and these people I have met!!
