New Blog Post! Two historic medieval towns located within reasonable day tripping distance from #Madrid Spain. #Avila and #Segovia. What if you only have time to visit one? How do you choose? We visited both and I did have a clear favorite... thethoroughtripper.com/avila-or-segov…

If anyone has been wondering (and it's very possible no one has 😂), I'm taking a break from X for the time being. Safe travels everyone 😎

@BerkeleySqB Ahh Shoot! So much respect for you guys though!

Leven, our expedition leader, has just announced the end of the Northwest Passage Expedition on Facebook. Hermione can't be fixed quickly in the frontier settlement of Paulatuk (289 residents), unfortunately. It was fun while it lasted, though.

New Blog Post! A thorough look at our Semana Santa experience in #Malaga earlier this year. Certainly one of our most memorable travel experiences ever! thethoroughtripper.com/semana-santa-i…

@LarissaRolley 😂

@ThoroughTripper You are not in Tahiti

A cold and rainy day in our new destination. Any guesses where?

@spartanwanderer Yeah I remember when you were tweeting about how much you loved it here.

@ThoroughTripper Gotta be Sarajevo. Just spent a month there and will be returning for two more.

@AlongaTravel Sadly, this our forecast for the next week. Quite cold in fact.

@ThoroughTripper Thought I haven't seen it dark and cold, like on your pic.

@LifeofCPerry It is. My first moments in the city. Walked over the river from our Airbnb, looking for an ATM

@ThoroughTripper More specifically, I think that's Bascarsija area of Sarajevo. Lived there for ~3 months - Great, culture-rich, city.

@riggsbeem We did fly over Slovakia to get here from Warsaw, but it's Sarajevo

@KandingJirka That's it

@ThoroughTripper Sarajevo Bosna Hercegovina

@gkaper It is 😀

@ThoroughTripper Sarajevo?

@VeryTastyWorld Yeppers

@ThoroughTripper Sarajevo?

@aladyinlondon Yep

@ThoroughTripper Sarajevo

@AlongaTravel 😉

@ThoroughTripper No clue! :)

@happylittletrav That's a tough question because each was so different and each had good qualites. But if pressed I would put Gdansk and Wroclaw tied at the top, Krakow next, and then Warsaw last

@ThoroughTripper Nice! So enjoy And I have to ask - how would you rank cities you visited?

Who can guess what city in Poland we explored last weekend? 🧐

@happylittletrav Yes last day in Krakow. Going to Sarajevo on Friday 🙂

@ThoroughTripper We spent there 3 days and now I can say that in one day is possible to see all the main attractions at a fairly slow pace. Where are you now? Still Kraków?

@happylittletrav So it's Poznan then 😀 No, we didn't go. It seemed like a little too far to just spend a few hours there. And yes - Wroclaw was charming enough for us 😉

@ThoroughTripper Oh, I see! Why didn't you go after all? (Wrocław enchanted you so much, right?😄)

As our time in Poland is winding down, we are struck by how much history we’ve learned while here. More than anywhere we’ve traveled so far. The historical museums everywhere we’ve been are fantastic. An amazing country despite its difficult past (Auschwitz in the photo)

New Blog Post! Chinchon Spain may not be as high on Madrid day trip lists as the more famous Toledo or Segovia. But this medieval town is well worth a visit. Its unique and scenic town square is one of my all-time favorites. thethoroughtripper.com/madrid-to-chin…
