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 […]
I recently spent two weeks in Jordan, and I have so much to share! Is Jordan worth visiting? I think yes, absolutely – I absolutely loved my time there. There are a few things to think about as well, so let’s dig into the reasons to visit Jordan AND considerations when planning a trip. Reasons […]

Is Kosovo expensive? No – it’s actually one of the cheapest countries I’ve been to in Europe. I stayed in a nice private room in a hostel for €24 a night, dinner and a glass of wine was around €11 and the Pristina to Peja train was just €3. I stayed in Kosovo for two […]

The Sarajevo to Mostar train is a two-hour scenic journey that costs just €6. Although my train was delayed by nearly an hour, I loved gazing over the Neretva River and Bosnian Mountains on this journey between the nation’s two tourist hotspots. In fact, when I was planning my trip around the Balkans and was […]

I was only in Sarajevo for two days, and it was not enough time! There are so many things to do in Sarajevo, from visiting its Ottoman-era mosques to walking along the Miljacka Canyon (just outside of the city centre!). Sarajevo has an incredibly sad recent history. I visited the Museum of Crimes Against Humanity […]
