Hello Occu V !
I'm currently in Estonia, traveling in the Baltics. Since we got back in Europe about three weeks ago, I can't believe how nice it is. In many countries, we don't need to wear masks anymore and more importantly, we don't need to handle complicated travel restrictions. With more countries re-opening, travel is finally back on!
Below, you'll find the latest travel news on A Broken Backpack as well as some sweet travel deals!
