Summer Selfies

Well, I have just returned from my last trip for this summer and I have got to say, It. Was. AMAZING. All my trips this summer revitalized, fed my inner foodie, gave me perspective and a plethora of other things. So here are some pictures to help you "live vicariously" and "experience" my summer travels from Vienna, to Budva, stops in Macedonia and Greece, Saranda in Albania and finally Budapest. This summer was worth MORE than a thousand photos, I hope you enjoy!

Let's start with some videos~
