Backpacking to Brig, Interlaken,Zurich, Geneva Switzerland, and Lake Como Italy

Budget Travel/Travel Stories

Woke up early for my 5:50 train going to Andamat to Chiaaso to Como Italy. If you have Swiss Pass, it’s only valid till Chiasso, you need extra ticket to get to Como San Giovanni.

Don’t sleep! Or you will miss such lovely sights. Everywhere you look at is simply magnificent. Beautiful nature! It’s very easy to move from one train to another platform. So dont worry if you only have few minutes to transfer to another train. The SBB trains are very punctual!

Travelling to Venice, Verona, Florence, Pisa, Milan Italy

Budget Travel/Destinations/DIY Itineraries/Travel Stories

I woke up early for my 11 am Wizz air flight to Venice Italy. No flight delays, and the weather is perfectly fine. The plane landed at exactly 12:15 pm. Since I do not carry any euros, I withdrawn money from the ATM near the exit.

I looked for bus heading to Piazza Roma, the fare cost 12€ one way. If you need RT you can get it for 22€. Piazza Roma is the last stop. Bus ATVO. The bus driver also gave me a free map. As soon as I sat, I started mapping out the places I would like to visit.

Beauty and Adventure in Big Bear Lake, California

Destinations

When you think of Big Bear Lake, you may think of a skiing, hot chocolate and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. But I can assure you that Big Bear has thrills for all seasons. I recently had the pleasure of exploring this beautiful Californian adventure land. A place so filled with the spirit of the Wild West and natural beauty, it was unlike anywhere I’d ever been before.

Getting There

As we drove towards Big Bear, I frequently felt like I was in an old western movie. Visions of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood dancing in my head. Later I discovered that Big Bear Lake was in fact a Hollywood favorite during the 30’s and 40’s. The likes of Lassie, Elvis, and Andy Griffith have all graced the streets of this beautiful mountain town.
