Getting to Lake Bled: Cheap bus tickets from Ljubljana. Even in the middle of summer (2025), I didn’t need to pre-book tickets to Lake Bled: just make sure you have 5 euro in cash and go to the ticket office at least 15 minutes before you want to get the bus. They’re very…

Solo Travel Diaries Montenegro – Part 1
These are all extracts of diary entries from my solo travel journey. Hopefully this will help anyone out who is thinking of solo travelling to have an honest insight into what it’s like. Please know that none of these are posted in real time 🙂 Day 1 – The first one First day…
Is Budva, Montenegro worth visiting?
Budva’s old town in Montenegro is no doubt stunning, and I would say well worth a visit on your way through Montenegro. You probably only need a couple of days in Budva, especially if you’re visiting other places such as Kotor and Ulcinj. Budva Activities
Hostel Green Flags
After having stayed in one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in (shoutout to Hostel Pirate – Ulcinj, Montenegro – no I’m not sponsored I just loved it there that much), I decided that it would probably be a good idea to write a quick list of what I look for in…
The hidden Gem in Montenegro that’s not Kotor
Ulcinj has been my first stop on my solo travelling journey and I’m writing this currently* sat in the bus station waiting for a bus.

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…
Backpacking as a Girl in the Balkans
Before going backpacking in the Balkans with my best friend (also female), I had a lot of people ask me how safe it would be, whether I would be okay and all those general questions. Honestly, some of the places in the Balkans were the safest I’ve felt. Out of the entire backpacking…
