Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

We just checked the forecast for the ride home, cold wet and rain. gwaaaa. We have had 2 weeks of amazing weather and great sunny days. We even spent the day on the beach at the Black Sea!

So depending how it goes we may actually take the Northern route after all, spend [...]

So today is our second to last day in Romania, but no visit to the country is complete without the required visit to Bran and Dracula’s castle. So bitterly disappointing! Dont get me wrong I wasn’t expecting much, I mean come off it it is hyped as Dracula’s castle. but as a [...]

We rarely ride at night anyway. My partner is a safety buff, and as he did make it around the world (or at least good chunk of half way from Germany down to Asia then to South America) I trust his judgment in biking safety. For Christmas last year he gave me my [...]

May I say yet again that trying to use other computers while traveling really sucks! At least this time the room we have for the night comes with a computer, so there is no extra charge for using this for 3 hours, and unlike a hostel there is no one behind me snorting and [...]

Honestly my only regret for this trip was leaving the computer behind. I know I have already whined about it, but I cant tell you how many wi fi free spots we have stopped to have coffee at and how much time and joy these cafes suck from you. But myself and Patrick [...]

Literally. We stopped for a BBQ today and Patrick came back to tell me he found wild grass growing. I flipped. I was sure we had stumbled onto not the perfect little hideaway for a BBQ where no one would bother us but rather a drug dealers den. He told me [...]

At least my gypsy life. The life of the Roma here is often hard and full of prejudice and hatred. Completely different from my life of cushy travel (or as cushy as biking goes). But as I mentioned before, this trip instead of taming the gypsy in me seems [...]

So yes, we left the Ukraine and decided to follow the Carpathians instead. This was not due to a lack of love for the country, I am already missing it and I am planning my next trip back. But the roads were really tough on poor Jacqueline, and though [...]

Our time in the Ukraine was amazing. The Carpathians plus motorcycle translates into the most awesome traveling one can do. Full details to come of course! But at the moment I am no longer in the Ukraine. We decided very last minute to turn our Ukrainian trip into a Carpathian trip [...]

I wanted to upload some pics but the problem is these cafes are so old that the computers can not read the sticks. So I have only managed to load a few pics after I took forever to find a program to act as a bridge. So here is one pretty pic and [...]

So it looks like internet time is coming to a close and we are off to explore and then meet our host for the night before we head off into the mountains for some more biking tomorrow.   Though for those looking for places in Tampa Florida try Tampa Real estate.  I am not quite yet [...]

So we have been debating and trying to find a place to stay with hospitality clubn  tonight.  Looks like we were sucessful and we will stay int eh city on more night.  I love Hospitality Club.  Yes it can allow you a cheap place to stay (as in free ;-P  ) but it also lets [...]

I like the description given by EZUnsecured.com on how high interest credit cards eat away like an alligator at your business profits. The problem with small businesses is that it takes a lot of money to start the venture. Yet anyone with their own business knows that it is entirely worth it to [...]

We are back at an internet cafe this time in the Ukraine!!!  We made it!  We decided last night to stay in a Motel about 30 min from the border.  As you noticed with the vast amount of posts from yesterday it took quite a while to upload the video yesterday an by the time [...]

I love paid blogging!!! It allows me to travel and still make cash. That is why at the moment I am in Slovakia, one day away from the Ukraine, and signed on to upload this video. Yes part of it is to allow my mom to know I am still alive. But next [...]

Say what you want about paid blogging, Im heading to the Ukraine tonight and have had an awesome trip so far.    So enjoy this last paid link before the video for   home theater popcorn machines.  A truly awesome invention if you ask me.    I love popcorn, and the movies, so why [...]

Still waiting for the final video to load up. So I still have a couple of posts to do including one on car spoiler. Really Im a bike girl and cars mean nothing to me. But I know people really seem to love to flash up their cars so why not. There is a [...]

Before we left we deabted taking one of our computers or not. In Argentina we had my computer and we did a lot of emails and writing in the tent at night and saved everything to memory sticks. Then we took it to the internet cafe and uploaded it. It was fantastic. it saved us [...]
