Yes, I know how ridiculous it sounds – travelling for a weekend, not even three days, and then having to be back in the UK (or wherever you’re from) for work again on Monday. But it’s definitely possible – and more than that – it’s something I would highly recommend. The cost of…

Exploring Malta – foot, car, boat or bus?

Why Crete should be a top choice for a Greek Destination
I’ve been lucky enough to visit several Greek Islands and Crete has remained a firm favourite. Here, you can get Greek culture combined with the benefits of an activity holiday, and beaches. There are genuinely loads of day-trips you can take on Crete – from wherever you’re staying – to experience old palaces,…
Why you should visit Tortuguero
All in all, I spent less than 24 hours in Tortuguero, Costa Rica. And I’m so glad that I went. Tortuguero is famed for it’s turtle nesting beaches – if you’re going at turtle season you may well want more than a day here. I visited in December, when there were no turtles…
What to do for 5 days in Cahuita?
My third destination in Costa Rica; Cahuita. Cahuita is a town situated on the Carribean Coast close to Puerto Viejo.

What to Do for a Week in Malta
Day 1 – Arrival and Cultural Exploration From the airport to Valletta, the best way to travel is to take a bus. It’s a single bus, no transfers, and if you get the Explore Card it’s very cheap. (Journeys on buses in Malta are two euros otherwise, which is still cheap). What was…
Planning your Budget Backpacking (3 min read)
(Or – You Want to Travel For the Summer But You Have No Clue How You Can Afford It) While it’s not possible to stay in a five-star luxury hotel and pay barely anything for it, (unless you went to world scout jamboree 2023, but that’s another story) it’s definitely possible to backpack…
