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
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…

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…
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…
