Hiking and walking are some of our all-time favourite things to do. Over the years and, more specifically, over this year abroad, we have done a lot of walking and hikes. We had heard Lake Skadar was beautiful and there were some nice hikes you could do around there. I did some research and found a moderate difficulty loop that […]
From our spot in Budva, we explored a few areas. To the south, we found Sveti Stefan. It was such a beautiful spot! We first saw it on a long walk along the beach to the south of Budva in our first couple of days in this area. We didn’t quite walk that far, but it immediately intrigued us as […]
After our first two weeks in Kotor we moved to Becici, just on the outskirts of Budva, for the last three weeks of our time in Montenegro. We were so disappointed to leave the beauty of Kotor and the surrounding area but were feeling optimistic about being right on the Adriatic Sea where the temperatures would be even hotter than […]

When the girls were devastated to leave all their kitty cat friends in Morocco, we were able to soothe them slightly with the promise that Kotor was famous for all the cats they had. And wow, do they ever have a lot of cats! However, unlike […]
The Bay of Kotor is surrounded by a minimal stretch of flat space before being surrounded by mountains. The mountains are steep and impressive looking. You can hike up to the top in some areas, some areas are accessible by a road and/or cable car, and some are completely inaccessible. The first hike up above the Bay that we did […]

But some are slightly bigger and have a restaurant or two. Once you get further away from Kotor, you find other larger towns, as well. We wanted to get out and […]
We were originally supposed to spend five weeks inside the walls in Kotor. Due to the last-minute cancellation by our host, we needed to pivot. We managed to find somewhere to stay here for two weeks, and then move on to Budva for the following three weeks. For the second time this year, we got to spend time with family! […]
