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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I recently spent a few days in Kosovo, and I think it’s an underrated country that is well worth visiting. It has beautiful mountainous scenery, friendly people and an interesting history – that it’s often had to fight very hard for.  Kosovo is little-visited by non-Balkan travellers, but it’s actually very easy to reach and […]
