If you only have two days in Porto, you might wonder how much of the city you can really see. I had the same question when I visited last year, and I quickly learned that 48 hours is enough to fall in love with Portugal’s second city, as long as you plan smartly. In this…
Albania is one of Europe’s most affordable destinations, offering vibrant cities, mountain landscapes, and warm hospitality. But what if you don’t have a rental car—or even phone data to rely on? During my one-week trip, I explored Albania entirely by bus, furgon minivans, and word-of-mouth directions, all while keeping my budget low. This 7 day…
Spending 3 days in Stockholm in November wasn’t originally on my radar, but after a damp yet surprisingly charming couple of days in Gothenburg (read that post here), I decided to see what the capital had in store. Stockholm, often called the “Venice of the North” thanks to its network of bridges and waterways spanning…
I thought I was ready for hiking in Andorra. After all, how hard could it be? Some mountain trails, a few nice views, and maybe a little fresh air. By the end of my first “easy” hike, I was humbled. By the end of my 5-day trip, I was hooked. Nestled in the Pyrenees between…
At 25, I found myself in one of the most exciting yet confusing chapters of my life. I was living in Spain on a gap year, studying Spanish and traveling around Europe. My family had just visited me, and we’d spent a week together in Sevilla and Prague, which was… nice, though you know how…
If you told me Alexandria was only a few hours from Cairo, I would’ve assumed you meant by helicopter, not by a dirt-cheap local bus with no air-conditioning and a soundtrack of honking and engine sputters. But somehow, it worked. We escaped the chaos of Cairo and landed in a city that—while still full of…
Cairo is one of those cities that looks spectacular in photos — ancient pyramids, sprawling markets, minarets at sunset. I arrived expecting history, culture, and maybe a little chaos. What I got was a full-blown sensory assault: toxic air, constant noise, endless scams, and pressure from locals that made it hard to breathe, let alone…
This Morocco road trip itinerary covers 11 days of scenic drives, chaotic medinas, spontaneous wrong turns, and more mint tea than I care to admit. Starting in Tangier and ending in Essaouira, we hit the country’s greatest hits—Chefchaouen, Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains—plus a few lesser-known gems along the way. It wasn’t always relaxing, and it…
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. It’s the shortest official Camino de Santiago route at about 116 kilometers, but don’t let the word “short” fool you….
Thanks for reaching out! I'll get back to you shortly.
