The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”
For our last day and a half in Serbia, and with our big day of touring completed, we spent our remaining time relaxing in Belgrade. Due to our lack of planning, none of the tour companies had space available for day activities we were interested in such as kayaking around Kalamegdan Park and War Island,…
The next morning we woke up around 9AM and moved at a leisurely pace before our Free Walking tour and day of Belgrade sightseeing. We enjoyed a lovely, complimentary breakfast at the hotel, which was conferred by my United Club card’s premium IHG status, and had a mix of British and Serbian cuisine. Serbians seemed…
Upon arrival in Belgrade, we realized we had done zero planning of how how we wanted to spend our time; therefore, Belgrade was going to be a spontaneous visit and our next stop in Brasov, Romania, was shaping out the same way. While the hotel receptionist at Hotel Indigo in Belgrade provided us with some…
Brendan and I loved the Balkans so much from the May 2019 trip (Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina), that we decided to set out there again, but this time go farther East – flying to Belgrade, Serbia, While we were in Sarajevo on our past Balkans trip, we had also met a traveler…
Now that we arrived, rested, and got situated at the hotel, it was time to explore the Santo Domingo Colonial district over the next 4 days. Since it was still daylight out, we thought we’d get a walk in before our 20:30 reservation at Jalao. Stepping out of Casas del XVI was always an adventure,…
For our third trip since the COVID vaccines, we opted to travel from Denver to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on a quick long-weekend jaunt. Since Antarctica, I’ve visited 95 countries and Brendan has visited 65, so we thought that the DR would be a nice and easy way to get closer to my 20 year…
