Cat Ba Island is one of the best places to visit in Vietnam in my opinion, but it’s also a spot many travellers miss off their itinerary in this country… and what a shame. #1 Because Cat Ba Island has a lovely national park at its heart – a great place to enjoy some […]

I think it’s probably fair to say most people couldn’t place Armenia on a map, let alone know or name all the amazing things to do there! But that’s a real shame for them, because little do they know what they are missing out! Yup, newsflash in case you haven’t read any of my other […]

Let’s start with a small disclaimer… I spent over 3 weeks in and around Cusco alone! Which is not hard given the amount of things there is to do here. Yup I spent more time in this city than I reckon most people spend in the whole of Peru and that’s because it’s a) amazing […]

The centrally-located capital of Spain, Madrid so often gets overlooked in favour of its more touristy national counterpart, Barcelona.

And I’m guessing this is something to do with the economic disadvantage many of the countries in this continent suffer, coupled with the presumption that places where less tourists go tend to be […]

If you’re looking to dodge the typical Colca Canyon tour and experience something far more culturally authentic and immersive, then this is the perfect article for you! The thing I loved most about Peru, and probably the thing that surprised me about this country was that, despite being a wildly popular country with travellers, it’s […]

I can tell you now, I thoroughly enjoyed writing this post (and hopefully you’re going to enjoy reading it too) because the biggest budget travel blogger delight always comes from writing about amazing countries that are cheap to adventure in! So, with a huge grin, I can safely say the answer to the question “what […]

Before my arrival into Peru, I have to admit I’d never even heard of Huaraz, let alone considered travelling there. As such a huge country and with a tight travel timeframe, I’d already pretty much mapped out my time in Peru before my arrival into Lima in September as I fled the impending winter in […]
