My Travel Year in Review – 2024 Wrapped
After travelling obsessively for over two years (no doubt as a shock response to the pandemic!), I went for a slightly different approach in 2024. This meant fewer ad hoc trips and a more intentional selection. I prioritised some of my favourite destinations over going somewhere just for the sake of being away every month, […]
What to See in Tirana – Top 10 Attractions
I love Albania so much that my trips there are now a yearly tradition. I can honestly say that its capital, Tirana, is one of my very favourite cities in the world. Not sure what it is exactly, but I feel at home there, every single time. Even though tourism in Albania is shooting up, […]
2 Days in Belfast: Titanic, Murals and More
I don’t usually celebrate birthdays, but this year, I wanted to treat myself to a solo weekend trip. Belfast seemed like a good option, it being not far from London and small enough to explore in a weekend. And it’s been on my UK travel bucket list for quite some time! This is what I […]
Underrated Bratislava: 12 Things to See
The Slovakian capital was never much of a tourist destination. Internationally, it’s mostly known for the caricatural portrayal in films like EuroTrip and Hostel.

Nuremberg, Germany: Things to Do …and Not to Do
I took to travelling around Germany quite late (first time just over a year ago), but I’m catching up quickly. I can now add Nuremberg (Nürnberg) as the fourth city on my list! It was pretty much the way I expected, but I didn’t get to sample any traditional local food. As a hardcore vegetarian, I knew […]
Weekend Trip to Cardiff – Solo and Spontaneous!
I can now cross the Welsh capital off my UK travel bucket list! This weekend trip was rather brief and superficial, but it did inspire a spontaneous post. By no means an extensive guide to the city – just a few memorable places. Enjoy! All Hands by Brian Fell (2001) Cardiff Castle Arguably the top […]
How Much Did I Spend in Seville, Spain as a Solo Budget Traveller?
When you repeatedly hear that Seville is “the most beautiful city in Spain”, you can’t help but want to see it for yourself, can you? I went there a bit ad hoc, as an extension of my main trip. But it was great, even if brief and superficial, and very much on a shoestring. Spain […]
My Favourite YouTubers
Is TV dead? Not yet, but it will be soon, if you’re asking me. YouTube and Netflix have long taken its place, at least for the majority of the younger demographic. I haven’t owned a TV in years, and I’m not missing it at all. So what do I like watching? On YouTube, mostly travel and […]
