I recently spent 2.5 weeks travelling in the Balkans, and before I travelled, I wasn’t sure what to do eSIM wise. I was taking trains around and travelling solo, so I knew I wanted full connectivity wherever I went.  I also didn’t want to have to bother with both fumbling around with data when I […]

I went on a train travel tour around India, and the very first train we took was from Delhi, India’s capital, to Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal! These two cities are very close together and make up two points of the Golden Triangle (the other being Jaipur, which we visited next). Getting from […]

I recently spent one day exploring Delhi (and a day relaxing before!), and honestly – I loved it. It was my intro to India, and I was so excited about being in a country that I’d wanted to visit for years!  That said, it’s not a gentle introduction to India. I delved right into the […]

I recently visited the wonderful Herzegovinian city of Mostar, and largely, I loved it! I do think Mostar is worth visting, but I think you need to consider how you visit very specifically – there are definitely things that I’d do next time. So, is Mostar worth visiting? Let’s get into reasons to visit and […]

I found my new favourite way to travel from France to England! This is Saillink, a wind-powered ferry that travels from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Dover.  It’s essentially a catamaran with sails that uses wind to travel between the two countries. It’s currently the only way you can travel across the sea without going on a large […]

I’m going to be honest, Split felt like one of the most expensive cities I’ve visited in Europe. When I visited, I’d just spent two weeks travelling through the Balkans, and prices in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina were a fraction of what they were in costly Split.  But it’s not all bad news – […]

I recently spent a couple of days in Delhi, before starting an India tour with G Adventures – and I wanted to make sure I maximised my time there and see as many sights as possible!  After a day spent relaxing and recovering from the flight, I needed to check off all the things to […]

I arrived in India in September 2026, landing in Delhi after a British Airways night flight! India can be a complicated place to enter, so I thought I’d write this post for anyone else who is arriving in India and is wondering about visas, flights, transfers and what to bring. This New Delhi airport arrival […]

You might be wondering, “do I need a car to travel in the UK?” if you’re visiting the country and planning to see some sights outside of London.  I’m from the UK, and have spent a lot of time travelling around the country, both by car and train (and sometimes even by plane and coach). […]

Recently, I spent a couple of days in the Scottish town of Falkirk. My partner was speaking at the Edinburgh literary festival, and there were a few things we wanted to check out in the town.  Sitting almost equidistant between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Falkirk’s an interesting, much less touristy town – although there’s still plenty […]
