Prague is one of the best European cities to visit at Christmas – a stunning market, amazing warm food and complete Christmas vibes. I spent (I have to admit) a little longer there than I probably needed to but overall had a great travel week again – going off my usual pattern of…

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
Saying it now – Montenegro is one of my favourite countries in Europe. It’s well travelled enough that it feels safe but it’s still plenty undiscovered enough that you can interact with locals, most people are staying at the same hostels and the bus routes are so easy to travel round the country…
The Most Unique Religious Buildings to Travel to in Europe
1. La Mezquita de Cordoba (Cordoba, Spain) I visited La Mezquita de Cordoba on a two-week trip around Southern Spain, and seeing the mosque was one of the highlights, and definitely well worth adding Cordoba into your trip for. The mosque has been used as both a mosque and a church and the…
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.

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…
10 Phrases to Learn Before you Visit a Country
Short and sweet – 10 phrases you should try to learn in the language before you travel. Even if you don’t use all of them, or people understand another language you can speak (most places have many people who can speak English now) it’s always a good idea – and makes you seem…
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…
