Sofia was one of the last capitals I’ve visited in Europe, and it really impressed me! The Bulgarian capital is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and historical buildings from all eras span across the centre. For a history nerd like me, the city is fascinating. But is Sofia worth visiting, and who for? […]

The world’s smallest continent, but one that absolutely crams in a variety of culture, rich cuisine and history, you could spend years in Europe and fail to be bored. Whether you’re exploring the beautiful beaches of southern Italy, the bustling capitals of London, Paris and Berlin, or the staggeringly beautiful Norwegian fjords. There’s so much to explore on this continent. Let’s get stuck in!

I take the Eurostar from London to Paris at least four times a year, and in my opinion, it’s the easiest and most enjoyable way to travel from London to Paris. Taking a mere two hours 15 minutes, the London to Paris train is high-speed and comfortable. When I post about it on social media, […]

I was SO impressed with Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital. It’s one of Europe’s oldest capitals, and the centre is super navigable on foot. I only had one day here, so there’s a lot I didn’t see, but I devised a fantastic one day in Sofia walking tour itinerary, with all of the historical attractions in the […]

I’ve travelled by FlixBus well over 25 times, across the entire continent of Europe (and beyond, if you count its affiliation with Turkish bus company Kamil Koc!). So, I feel well versed writing this FlixBus review! I also do lots of train journeys and have taken other coach providers in Europe, so I can compare […]

I’ve taken the London to Paris bus twice in the last couple of years; once by day and once overnight. As I try to avoid unnecessary flights, I’ve stopped flying from London to Paris; but I will often pass through the French capital on an overland trip to Europe. I found the day coach and […]

As I’m a keen overland traveller, I travel from London to Paris (and vice versa) a few times a year. If I want to go anywhere in Southern Europe, I’ll need to pass through the French capital on my way. And I know I’m not the only one! Many Brits who have work in Paris, […]

My mum is a Blue Badge London tour guide, and recently we went on a walk around the City of London to uncover some secret stories and hidden gems in the City of London that a LOT of tourists miss. She showed me London’s smallest statue and told me stories of cockneys, fires, the origins […]

I recently used an Interrail pass to travel to, around and from the Balkans (from the UK). I noticed huge cost savings in some ways, and smaller savings in others! So this post is going to be my full list of Interrail tips, including some things that I wish I’d done to save money – […]

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 […]

Is Bosnia expensive? No – it’s a lot cheaper than many destinations in Europe. I spent £121 per day on my recent three-day trip, but I wasn’t trying to budget at all. I stayed in boutique hotels and had a couple of meals out with wine; along with plenty of coffee and ice cream! That […]
