Now that my lovely dad lives in Dornbirn, Austria, I could not miss out on the opportunity to go visit for a weekend and go skiing together. From his town, it is only a 30 minute drive to Ski Area Damüls and around 50 minutes to Warth Schröcken. A perfect distance for a short trip. Unfortunately, the weather on the first two days was not great, as snow and fog surrounded us. It was almost impossible to see the mountain and the slope haha, but we kept skiing and enjoyed it regardless. Although we disliked the weather, somewhere we were grateful that the snow as back. Our ski day was not plagued by green mountains and white strips of ski slope, as this had been the case a few weeks earlier.

Back in October/beginning November, I headed over to Tallinn in Estonia to visit my friend Daria doing her study abroad there. Booking the cheap flight to save money, I got to wave goodbye to direct flight from AMS to TLL, while I was waiting at the gate to board my flight first to Riga and then to Tallinn. Oh well, the saved money was well spent during the following days. Tallinn is filled with lots of cozy little cafes and bars, offering you anything from cheap beer, coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls. The city is small, but charming with its history written all over it. You can learn about the previous Soviet influence or visit museums to discover the creepy ghosts of Estonia. The town has a few different areas to explore such as the old town, Rotermanni Quarter and the area close to the train station (not sure about the name of the area haha). This last area was my personal favorite as you can find the Balti Jaama Market, lots of cool restaurants like f-honne and a natural winery. Overall, it was a fun little trip to the Baltics.
