With a gorgeous coastline, yellow trams clattering through the centre and countless thigh-burning hills, there’s nowhere quite like Lisbon. Probably my favourite European city, Lisbon is a feast for all the senses. The brightly-coloured streets are a marvel to look at, you’ll hear Fado music brimming from all corners and, when your feet get tired, […]

There’s nowhere quite like Barcelona. The Spanish city is actually the heart of Catalonia, and it’s also renowned for its incredible architecture (largely made by Gaudi) and fun atmosphere. There are so many things to do in Barcelona – but what if you only have one day? If you’re here on a layover, or just […]

The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh has global fame as a must-see destination in the UK. Known for its historic streets, fairly moody but atmospheric weather and Harry Potter connections, this city is brooding and majestic. One day in Edinburgh is just about enough time to see the highlights (although more is always better if possible!). […]

As my plane slowly started landing at Tenerife South Airport, I took in vistas of a volcanic island fringed by black sand beaches, with the crashing Atlantic waves kissing the shore on every side. It was a beautiful clear day, and I was just about to begin my second trip to the Canary Islands, where […]

Louages in Tunisia are probably the most efficient way to explore the North African country. There’s not much information about taking them online, so I thought If’d write this blog post explaining how to take shared taxis in Tunisia! You can use louages to travel between cities in Tunisia; this post is based on my […]

Buses in Albania have historically been a bit of a head-scratcher. Rich, my partner, visited back in 2015, and when we made our way over to the Balkan country from Bari in Italy, he told me plenty of stories of no transport timetables, random bus stops and times spent standing on the side of the […]

If you’re an overland traveller exploring Europe, the Italy to Albania ferry is almost a rite of passage. It takes you from the historic, beachy Italian region of Puglia to the heart of the Balkans, within striking distance of Albania’s capital, Tirana.

Small towns (and the occasional city) are dotted along the […]
