Snuggled over in the east of Europe, Romania often feels like the land time forgot in this part of the world. Out of the countries I’ve wandered across in this continent, Romania consistently stood out as a destination belonging, at least in part, to a different age. Even as recent as 2018, it felt hard […]
I bl**dy loved Bulgaria. Quite honestly, it’s as simple as that. In fact, out of all 12 countries I’ve travelled in eastern Europe, it’s only Bosnia Hercegovina and Montenegro that came even close to toppling Bulgaria from my top spot. For 1, Bulgaria is incredibly cheap – a massive plus point in my budget travel […]

Honestly, if I could think of more superlative adjectives beginning with L, I’d be likely to go on and on about this Middle Eastern gem of a country situated along the Mediterranean Coast.

[…]
For a small country, it’s probably fair to say that Jordan has more bucket list beauties than you can shake a stick. Yup, slap bang in the centre of the Middle East, just about every great empire, ancient civilisation and his dog has wandered through this tiny nation at some point in history… and left […]
Taking a Nile cruise in Egypt is one of the quintessential things to do in this country, but if you’re anything you like me, you probably have reservations about how expensive this notoriously tourist experience might be. But fear not, I managed to score a bargain Nile cruise when I was in Egypt and now, […]
If there’s anywhere in Turkey that you’ve seen or heard about on Instagram, Facebook or the internet at large, it’s probably Cappadocia. Am I right, or am I right? Yes this geographically striking, visually spellbinding and utterly unique spot in Turkey’s central highlands is just so picturesque, it’s no wonder it’s as famous as it […]
