Here, we give a detailed breakdown for all our costs in the 2 month Road Trip. We drove around Europe in a convertible 2-seater, and kept tr

Quality of Roads The quality of the roads in Italy are overall good. The highways as well as secondary roads are of good quality. Having said that the quality starts going down as you go more south. Until in Sicily the road quality, plummets to rock bottom. Highway tolls in Italy are the most expensive that we had to pay for the 11 countries we’ve visited in this 2 Month Europe Road trip. Tools are paid on each highway, rather than buy a bundle for a week. Tolls in the south

We passed through Italy because being from Malta, we had no other option. Italy is our gateway to Europe by land. Not that I’m complaining Italy is beautiful but very big, so that limits our time in other countries. The first time we started our 2 month road trip we drove through the east coast of Sicily all the way to Bari in 3 days. From Bari we bought a ferry ticket to Albania Durres for €190. This is where our journey had really begun. The second we entered Italy was from

Quality of Roads There might not be any sign of borders between Austria and other EU countries but the perfection of the roads makes you realise that you have started the road trip in this country. No matter which roads, be it highways or secondary roads Austrian’s roads are close to perfection. A road high up in the mountain wet with humidity still has good grip on the tyres making you feel comfortable when driving. Scenic Roads Austria is one of the best examples for scenic

Quality of Roads As soon as you enter from the Eastern side (Slovakia) you’ll notice that Secondary roads as well as highways are relatively bumpy. In Czech Republic, it seems that all roads are all under construction. This shows that at least action is being taken on the roads which aren’t of good quality, as they are being all reconstructed. We visited in September, which still formed part of their summer season, which makes it the ideal time for them to do road constructio

So by now you might have read somewhere that we have ditched our jobs, and wedding plans to travel for 9 months, going home just 55 days before the wedding. It was not an irresponsible move that we've done, as a sort of final spree before wedlock. We didn't ''travel to escape life, but we chose this lifestyle for life not to escape us''. Travelling gave us hands on experience on how to do long term budgeting, and gave us us the opportunity to explore new cultures of peoples

Over the past years, I have been a tourist, a backpacker and I have been a long term traveller. This year was the first time that I have experienced being a Road Tripper. This year we have been on a 2 month Europe Road trip which led to 11 countries around the continent. The experience of being on the road with your own car is a totally different story when compared to the other types of travelling. The freedom that a Road Trip has to offer is so nothing compared to when you

Sipping on my glass of wine while looking out from the massive terrace, overlooking Lake Garda, I found myself wondering about the lives of the Nobel family who had once lived here. But I was in luck, today I was being toured Isola del Garda and its Villa by Alberta Cavazza herself, one of the seven descendants who has inherited this beautiful privatised property and the whole island. The Cavazza siblings lost their father at a very young age and hence the island and villa re

Austria was one of our top favourite countries to road trip. We only spent a total of 5 days because being on the road for 9 months before getting married requires being on a budget and Austria isn’t very budget friendly. But here is our top 6 highlights in Austria. #1 Driving As mentioned above, road tripping was one of our highlights in Austria. Its picture perfect scenic roads, windy mountain roads and roads by the numerous charming lakes made it impossible not for it to m
