Camino Inglés from Ferrol: 3-Day Itinerary & Solo Experience (2025 Guide)
I walked the Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago in 3 days. Solo. With one pair of shoes, a backpack that wasn’t thrilled about the idea, and just enough optimism to regret it halfway through.

Vienna to Melk Day Trip – Why This 1-Hour Escape Is Totally Worth It (Full Guide)
Let’s say you’re in Vienna. You’ve already taken a Mozart-themed selfie, eaten your weight in schnitzel, and pretended to understand modern art at the MuseumsQuartier. What’s next?

How To Survive Copenhagen On a Budget
So, you’ve decided to visit Copenhagen, huh? I don’t blame you, it’s got everything: bikes, canals, that whole “hygge” thing, and an unsettlingly high number of beautiful, tall people.
