Italy and Spain – two iconic European countries that are both well worth your time! But if you’re planning a Europe trip, and only have time for one of these Mediterranean nations, you might be wondering “Italy or Spain – which to pick?”. While I’d strongly recommend visiting both if you can, Italy is better […]

Spain is one of Europe’s largest countries, and within it is a whole stretch of stunning scenery. Because it’s vast and somewhat spread out, it’s ideal for a road trip. The open road offers a unique perspective on a country, as you get to take your time to soak it in and dictate your next […]

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.

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 […]

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. I personally love an overnight ferry (and fortunately my boyfriend does too!), so […]

Have you ever wondered what the best train journeys in Europe are? Europe is a small continent, and it’s relatively well connected by railways. Some of these are nostalgic – like the Orient Express – and have slowly been forgotten about over time, as budget flights become more common. However, in today’s climate crisis, people […]
