When describing Thailand, I often say that 10 different people could visit and have 10 completely different experiences – that’s how much variety and range there is on offer around the country. From the bustling cities to the peaceful lands in the north, to the myriad of islands and beachside locations, you’re guaranteed to become … Continue reading Two Weeks in Thailand
Montenegro is a really underrated country, and while more people are starting to know about it and visit, it still feels far less well-trodden than its larger neighbour Croatia. I first visited in Spring 2024, when my partner and I flew out for a long weekend to see some friends who were travelling through Europe … Continue reading A Weekend in Montenegro

Earlier this year I spent 6 weeks solo travelling in Europe, and I was delighted that at the end of the trip my mum and my sister came out to spend a week exploring Puglia with me, followed by a long weekend in Naples with my boyfriend. I’d never been so far south in Italy … Continue reading Southern Italy: Puglia and Naples
This is the second part of my 6-week European adventure earlier this year. So far I’d travelled through Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia (which you can read about here).
