York is one of those wonderfully quintessential English cities that manages to capture the imagination in a way that, to be honest, not many English cities do. We first visited in 2017 for a couple of hours, and again this summer for a couple of hours. Seeing a pattern? Us too, and it needed to …
“I can’t believe how many mountains there are in Scotland!” my friend squealed as we turned another corner to yet another amazing view. The North Coast 500 had blown both of us away – my friend, because she hadn’t visited Scotland outside of Edinburgh and had no idea how beautiful it all is; and me, …
Airbnb has been receiving a lot of press recently, and not all of it is good. In fact, I would go as far as to say not much of it has been good at all. I remember when Airbnb first started. Bloggers quickly began gushing about the experiences they’d had in someone’s home, and soon all …
When I think of visiting Austria, I don’t necessarily think of Vienna. I think of Salzburg and the Sound Of Music, or the Alpine city of Innsbruck, or more recently, the phenomenally pretty town of Hallstatt (if you don’t know it, I suggest you google it immediately). Meanwhile, my mum, as seldom as she ever …
A couple of months before I found myself taking a detour through Bratislava on my way home from the Balkans, I watched EuroTrip for the first time. If you haven’t seen this totally ridiculous, slapstick stupid American comedy, what were you even doing in the 00’s? Me? I was listening to Scotty Doesn’t Know, but …
When I think of countries that I know I’ll visit eventually, Macedonia (now North Macedonia) would never have made that list. In fact, a year ago, if you’d asked me what the capital of Macedonia is, I might have been able to guess, though I couldn’t have told you with confidence how it’s pronounced, but …
When I saw Albania on the Travel Talk tour itinerary, my interest was immediately piqued, because even on the surface, it’s a fascinating country. After all, this is a country that, when I was born, no one knew anything about. Until 1991, it was even more closed off than North Korea is today (you couldn’t …
I’m not sure where to start with Kotor – which is probably why it’s taken so long for me to write this post! Montenegro was the main reason I went on this trip. Photos of Kotor have captured my attention for a few years, and I was determined to get there before tourism blew up …
I think I made it pretty clear in my last post that I LOVED Dubrovnik. I especially loved exploring the narrow streets, and every alley is so picturesque that I ended up taking a lot of photos! In fact, I wanted to put together an entire post dedicated to the alleyways of Dubrovnik. Here are …
Alright, so I’m not gonna lie to you guys: I was a little apprehensive about Dubrovnik. Not only has it become one of the world’s hottest tourist spots, which escalated exponentially thanks to Games Of Thrones, but it only flew onto the radar and into people’s top spots within the last 10 years. That’s a …
