Your Backpacker Guide to Budapest
I loved Budapest and intend to return with some of my friends ASAP. It had an amazing culture, felt safe to travel around, good public transport links, plenty of activities, lively nightlife, tasty food. Genuinely, what more could I want from a city?

What you need to know for Zagreb, Croatia
By my third time visiting Croatia, I decided that I really needed to move away from simply the beach cities like Zadar, Dubrovnik and Split and go to it’s capital. Zagreb has a totally different atmosphere to the beach cities but it’s a fantastic few days you can explore Croatian culture a little…
Your one-stop guide to planning your Montenegro trip

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. Ulcinj is more of a local tourism destination, meaning it’s cheap (even for Montenegro), has amazing beaches and plenty of good food. Especially after somewhere like Kotor or…
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…
