I think one of the hardest things when deciding on a destination is not that there aren’t enough places out there you want to go, but so many. You have to decide between going on an adventure holiday to Thailand, to roadtripping around America, to trying ceviche in Peru to hiking in Montenegro….

What can I wear as a girl travelling to North Macedonia?
I can’t lie – this was one of my biggest questions while packing. Not just for North Macedonia, but for the whole of the trip. Rather than grouping all of the Balkan countries together, I decided to do a separate post on each to try and help. Please remember though, this is just…

Thinking about travelling to Mostar?
Mostar is such a beautiful town in Bosnia and Herzegovina – one that we were so glad to make a stop off at on our journey after Sarajevo. One of the things about Mostar for us was how quiet and friendly it was in comparison to other places. Another thing we loved was…

5 Reasons to Visit Costa Rica in 2025

One of Europe’s most underrated destinations: Kotor, Montenegro
I loved Kotor – it being my joint favourite city of my Balkan Backpacking Trip with Skopje in North Macedonia. Many backpackers described Kotor as being the backpacker and cheaper version of Split – and I can somewhat agree. But I also think that Kotor holds it’s very own charm – home to…
