. . 🇽🇰Prizren, Kosovo 🇽🇰 . . . Prizren was absolutely lovely. I kept hearing about how I should go to Prizren instead of Pristina, but I had time for both - woohoo! However, now that I’m in Pristina after seeing Prizren, I see why everyone said that 😂😂😂 Prizren was so picturesque with this amazing stone bridge and quaint old town and a big castle and an incredible mosque and also a giant church, and then I came to Pristina...where there is one street with restaurants and clothing stores, but no souvenir shops, no big buildings or historical sights, etc. (not including the cathedral, which is lovely but not anything exciting) Granted, there is a small Christmas Market that seems to still be thriving even after the holidays, with little coffee stalls, book huts and Christmas decorations, so Pristina isn’t boring...it’s not as beautiful as Prizren. However, if you’re trying to decide between the two, definitely pick Prizren. There is a bus that runs between the two cities every 20-30 minutes for 4 euros in case you need to get from one to the other. Here is the view of the stone bridge in Prizren. There is also a blue bridge that is covered in locks with couples’ initials, right above this beautiful icy blue stream. Be careful when it snows though, the ice is killer! Even the dogs were tripping on the icy streets 😂😂😂 🐕 . . . Check out my new travel article!!!! . .

. . . ❤️❤️☀️ ZURICH, SWITZERLAND ☀️❤️❤️ . Switzerland was incredible. The lake and rivers were turquoise blue and the weather was just sparklingly beautiful. . . . ☀️Although Zurich isn’t that big or touristy, the Free Walking Tour was worth the workout haha, and the chocolate shops were to die for. Yummmm!☀️ . . . . . ❤️❤️☀️❤️❤️ . .

. . 🇲🇰Skopje, Macedonia 🇲🇰 . . . Skopje was great!!! It has a wonderful free walking tour (don’t forget to tip your tour guide between 5-10eu), during which I got to see an overwhelming amount of GIANT statues, the incredible view from the top of the mountain (aka the fortress), the house dedicated to Mother Theresa and the original plot of land her house was actually built on, and this Stone Bridge that dates back to 1519 when the original bridge fell in the earthquake of 1518. I hope I remember the dates correctly, but this city was a city unlike any other. We even got to try some free Rakija in the Old Bazaar thanks to our awesome tour guide, and hear church bells and the call to prayer at the same time. So neat! (But also VERY cold haha) But still, highly recommended! . . Check out my new travel article!!!! . .

. . 🇲🇰Lake Ohrid, Macedonia 🇲🇰 . . . Things I’ve learned about Macedonia so far: there is no central heating, and space heaters rarely heat the room enough to even take off your coat. There are stray dogs everywhere. The people here are the nicest people ever. Everyone I’ve met has hugged me. The women are so warm and the food in incredible!! The mountain views are...well, amazing haha Bus drivers smoke in the buses as they’re driving, talk on their phones and hold the steering wheel with their knees 😂😂😂 However, it’s super cheap to live well and eat well here, so sign me up. Maybe next time I’ll come in the summer haha but this snow sure was pretty ❤️ . . Check out my new travel article!!!! . .
