These are my favourite sights though I also loved the bars of Starogard Gdański, a great place to meet locals by night. 1.Rynek (Market Square) The main market square, known as the Rynek is […]

  England has a notorious reputation for being a nation where you’re prone to be served some quite unsatisfying food, however I’m not certain that is a fair reputation.

As well – Rome is actually a lot cheaper than you’d expect. You can get a day card for the metro for around 7 Euros, unlimited travel! Without further ado and […]
