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…
What to do in Split, Croatia?
Split was our planned party destination on our trip (Kotor, Montenegro being the unplanned one) and it was amazing. Split is a great destination for party-lovers who want to be able to chill out on the beach, take photos in a stunning old town and do a little bit of exploring. Clubbing and…
What to do in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
On our Balkan Trip, Sarajevo was one of the best cultural hubs – with a rich, diverse history and so much to do and see. Two or three days is perfect here if you’re passing through, before moving onto some other places in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately our bus from Kotor in Montenegro…
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…
A Balkan Backpacking Route
If you’ve decided to backpack around the Balkans, you’ve come to the right place. My friend and I had a month backpacking together – the first three weeks of which were spent in the Balkans. We both fell utterly in love with the Balkans: the food, the friendliness of the people and the…
My advice to first-time backpackers
Over the summer, I went backpacking around the Balkans and southern Europe for a month before a couple of weeks in Spain. This was my first time properly backpacking, staying in hostels and taking the cheapest transport possible – even if that meant overnight or all day buses from one country to another….
How to Make the Most of a Weekend Break in Europe
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…
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 a Week in Lisbon
You want to visit Lisbon – but what exactly can you do there? Like most capital cities in Europe, it’s filled with a rich history and plenty of activities. I spent a week in Lisbon around Easter time. While the best itinerary will vary person to person – and on time of year…
