Straight off the bat, just wanna say that I loved Yogyakarta. And I’m kind of not even sure why. Ok, I know it was because of the amazing historical attractions, vibrant culture, delicious street food and friendly people, but there was also something I couldn’t put my finger on here. Something that had me immediately […]

There’s simply no denying it, Croatia is crazy expensive when it comes to budget travel in eastern Europe and Dubrovnik seems to top the bill as the most expensive city in this part of the world. Thanks to its Game of Thrones popularity and the seemingly never-ending stream of cruise ships that dock in this […]

I have to be honest, the thought of visiting Kyiv (formerly known as Kiev), the capital of Ukraine, didn’t immediately jump out at me. I’ve seen my fair share of ex-communist capitals and while I admire their architecture and find them culturally fascinating, seeing what I expected to be a grey, drab and dull ex-Soviet […]

Let me spell it out quite clearly from the beginning – I was absolutely amazed by Belgrade in Serbia. Honestly, I had quite limited expectations about this city (and Serbia in general), which were almost entirely due to the fact I’d failed to do any research and was therefore appalling ignorant about the whole place!

The beautiful city of Novi Sad, situated in the north of Serbia, is probably most famous for the EXIT music festival that happens here every July. Visit at any other time of the year however, and you’ll find a laidback, very local city that oozes friendly charm, unpretentious sophistication, culture, history and some gorgeous surrounds. […]

There’s no denying Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is a strange city! Visiting it as part of my grand eastern European tour, I was accustomed to visiting capital cities with glaring attractions, landmark sites and streets upon streets of action. Getting to Bucharest – a city with no discernible centre, aside from a rather drab […]
