Here are my top 5 countries in Europe:
⭐ Portugal

And a bonus because I can’t narrow it down to 5:
⭐ Bosnia & Herzegovina
I’ve been reminiscing a lot recently. I’ve also been looking forward to the next few months, and the realisation that I’ll be 30 at the beginning of next year made me think of my gradually-forgotten goal of visiting 30 countries, which I assumed would be long reached by now. The truth is, I stopped country-counting …
Oh, Orkney. While visitors to these remote islands in Scotland are rapidly increasing year on year, in the online travel circles and particularly the blogging world, my home island of Orkney remains seriously overlooked. And yet I don’t understand why. Is it because we don’t have Instagrammable mountains? Is it because our beaches aren’t quite …
While I was on the Algarve, I kept hearing the same things over and over again: Seville is AMAZING. To be honest, I have never really “got” Spain from my previous trips to Barcelona and the border towns by Gibraltar, but everyone was telling me that Seville was beautiful and absolutely worth visiting. On my …
For some reason, I had never fully considered the Algarve as a top beach destination, but then I rarely regard popular beach destinations at all. But when I was researching where to go for some winter sun, cheap flights were coming up for Portugal and I found some perfect opportunities for volunteering on the coast, …
I have to admit, I had no idea what I was signing up for when I decided to volunteer in a hostel on the Algarve on Portugal’s south coast. Anyone who knows me won’t be surprised that I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to work in a hostel called Le Penguin, but on further research, …
I’m afraid I have to admit to you guys that I’ve started this post off with a lie: I didn’t spend 24 hours in Lisbon. I barely spent 22. This is a shame though, because the rest of the title is not a lie; I really did fall in love with Portugal’s capital, and have …
A few weeks ago, I found myself with a spare month in which I could do whatever I liked. As some of you know, I finished my job in the hostel at the beginning of October, and with an imminent winter starting in Scotland, my first plan was naturally to travel and find some sun …
I’ve got to be honest with you right now: I’ve always hated the Loch Ness monster. I don’t know if it’s because I kind of grew up with it, knowing that all these tourists come to see something that isn’t even there, and it’s all lost its novelty. Maybe it’s because Scotland has so much …
Alright, I’m seriously lagging behind on these Scotland road trip posts, aren’t I?! I promise to catch up before I go to Venice in a few days – it’ll be the first time I’ve travelled abroad in over a year, which is absolutely ridiculous. Really living up to your name there, Clazz. It’s okay though …
Our luck with the weather improved on our second day of the Scotland road trip. For a whole twenty minutes. Luckily, those twenty minutes coincided with exactly the time we stopped in the gorgeous lochside village of Luss. In fact, all day the rain stopped and started at the right times, so in some ways …
