Since I am taking off on my next adventure I figur Since I am taking off on my next adventure I figured I better finish updating everyone on the last one. Lessons Learned in Prague I can’t believe it’s my first time in the Czech Republic, and totally geeked that it will not be my last. Yep, I’m coming back! But until then, here are a few things that I learned while in this very interesting country. Goulash, beer and sausage, and then more beer… Marionettes - There are tons of them everywhere. They creeped me out but they might be totally cool to other peeps… I was surprised to see the amount marijuana and CBD products, rivaling Amsterdam… They drink a lot of beer here… Don’t let their gruff tone and demeanor fool you, the people are the kindest ever and will give you the shirt off their back… Their currency is very confusing - like paying 150 for a cab ride but that’s really like 12 buck… I hopped over to Brno for a few days for the World Dog Show and there are few National Observations as well… Apparently, the country is home to a few astrological clocks. I have no idea what they are but the one in Brno shoots balls out at 11 AM every day and the one in Prague has people gathering around it at 6 PM… Castles are high up on the hills in this county so I challenge you to walk those steps, work that booty, and take in the amazing views from the top! …Oh yeah, and have a beer! Prague, Czech Republic OUT!!! 🇨🇿 #europetravel #europe_vacations #europetrip #traveltheworld #travelgram #travelling #traveler #covidtravel #covidadventures #bestinshowbitch #travelmore #travelgoals #figgyflightnanny #czechrepublic #prague #worlddogshow #worlddogshow2021 #brno
Lessons Learned in Milan Maybe it’s an Italy thi Lessons Learned in Milan Maybe it’s an Italy thing or just my luck but the majority of my stops in this country are filled with rain or cloudy weather. This was my third visit to Milano and by far the wettest, but I still ventured out and explored! So I’m sure you know what my first lesson is… Pick up an umbrella! The majority of the souvenir shops carry them for around €5… For some reason they all prefer cash over card. Stop at an ATM at the airport or train station and get yourself some local currency…. I highly recommend that you stay in the little town near the airport as the hotels are absolutely adorable… The airport is about 40 minutes from city center. Your least expensive route is to take the train right from the airport! €20 round-trip! … Your first stop is the Castle and surrounding park. Take it all in! Tons of history and beauty to explore…. From there, head through the Gallaria and be sure to bring a shit ton of money because that’s where you get all of your amazing designer clothes. This is Milan after all… On the other end is the Cathedral which not only is it stunning to see, I highly recommend you pay the lovely young gentlemen gathered around, for your handful of birdseed and let the pigeons to do their thing. It’s an amazing photo op that you will surely love! Too wet for me to get it on this trip but one of my favorite all-time photos ever!… And, when in Italy be sure to get yourself a pizza. They are like nothing you’ve ever tasted in the States and you will never look at pizza the same way again. Milan, Italy OUT!!!🇮🇹 #europetravel #europe_vacations #europetrip #traveltheworld #travelgram #travelling #traveler #covidtravel #covidadventures #bestinshowbitch #travelmore #travelgoals #figgyflightnanny #petflightnanny #milan #milano #italy #milanitaly #milanocity #milano🇮🇹
Lessons Learned in Phuket… Hands-down the most Lessons Learned in Phuket… Hands-down the most amazingly kind, generous and hospitable people I have ever met in my entire life. They would literally give the shirt off their back to help you… Be sure to pick up elephant themed trinkets as well as utensils and such made from coconuts - very Thai-esque… I am from Florida and all but damn it is hot and humid here! Like sweaty in every crevice hot! Dress in light clothes, (girls, I totally recommend a dress) and not only wear, but bring sunscreen on your adventures. You will need to reapply as it sweats off… This amazing city has a little bit of everything to offer - sandy beaches, lush tropical jungles, breathtaking architecture and magnificent Mountain views… You can experience a lot of amazing things for not a lot of money but do the right thing and tip well!… My $75 a night room included my own private patio entry to a spectacular pool, made to order breakfasts and an offer to learn to cook Thai meals, so trust me when I say, the staff was tipped generously from moment one… Massage Envy my ass!!! Get a real, authentic Thai massage. Schedule a 60 minute oil massage - it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced… Speaking of authentic, Non-Americanized Thai food is unreal! Eat as much as you can while you’re here… Yes, there are monkeys and elephants here in the wild but having a chance to hang with, feed and even bathe (yeah, I didn’t give that one a go) is a must… No they are not yelling sweaty cup at you! It’s a polite and friendly greeting, like saying hello! Pronounced “Sweaty Cah” to women and “Sweaty Cup” to men and when you hear it you will get it, trust me! Feel free to respond accordingly and smile. Phuket, Thailand OUT! 🇹🇭 #asiatravel #asia_vacations #asiatrip #traveltheworld #travelgram #travelling #traveler #covidtravel #covidadventures #bestinshowbitch #travelmore #travelgoals #figgyflightnanny #phuket #phuketthailand #thailand #phuketsandbox #phuket🇹🇭 #bigbuddahphuket
Lessons Learned in Stockholm… My second trip to Lessons Learned in Stockholm… My second trip to this glorious destination and quite the difference a few months make! The city is alive and glowing now!!! (Granted, the last time I was here it was a cold and rainy ghost town) The clothing stores - THE CLOTHES!!! Like a mini Milan, there are so many choices… Go beyond the Swedish Meatballs peeps - it’s a freshwater fish town and the meals are delish… They have a fabulous train and bus system but with dogs, pay the $60 for an Uber into city center from the airport… I had a blast at the Guardian, a hostel like, no frills place to crash with a fabulous restaurant attached, tons of wit and humor (check out my story) and about a 25 minute walk to the sites… Not up for walking? Rent a scooter because that’s what the cool kids do - young and old… FIKA! It’s my new mantra. I’ve always lived this way but now I have a name for it. Look it up 😉 Stockholm, Sweden OUT! 🇸🇪 #europetravel #europe_vacations #europetrip #traveltheworld #travelgram #travelling #traveler #covidtravel #covidadventures #bestinshowbitch #travelmore #travelgoals #figgyflightnanny #stockholm #stockholmsweden #stockholm_insta #stockholmtravel
