While Portugal was probably the country I fell most in love with during my sabbatical, Slovakia was a revelation. I booked nights in Bratislava without any idea what I’d find and discovered a city that combined brutal Soviet realism with scenes straight from a fairy tale. I can’t recommend wandering its streets enough, and I look forward to another trip...
When I visited Prague and Dresden in October 2015, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and liveliness of the Prague and the recreated history of Dresden. One of my favorite photos of the entire trip is the one I took outside the Frauenkirche Dresden at a moment when the crowds seemed to vanish just long enough for me to capture the empty square.

While I have been to Reykjavik more times than most people deserve to and have a pretty good sense of how I’ll spend my time there (hello, Sandholt, Harpa...
