If you are a sucker for fairytale Germany towns then add Heidelberg to your list. With a castle perched on a hill, a historic bridge spanning the river, and cobblestone streets filled with beautiful buildings, Heidelberg is a fun place to enjoy for a couple of days. It is a pretty small town, I spent…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days in Malta
How long should I spend in Malta? It was a question I asked several friends and I got varied answers. Some said a couple of days while others told me they could easily spend a month. I settled for a week thinking that even thought I was visiting in November, it would still be warm…

Malta is a small country made up of 3 main islands in the Mediterranean. Known for being one of the sunniest destinations in Europe, it’s a popular getaway for a few days or even a couple of weeks. Most people choose to stay on the main island (Malta) for their stay but I have to…

Back in 2015 in Thailand, I met a fellow blogger at a travel conference in Bangkok. Her name was Sarah (blog is Journey To Design) and she was from Hamburg, Germany. Sarah and I got along really well kept in touch after parting ways in Thailand. We met again in Prague in 2017 and then,…
Read MoreSolo Travel in Malta: Tips, Advice, and Thoughts
When I booked my flight to Malta I didn’t really know what to expect. Some people told me they loved it. Others said it was small and boring and there wasn’t much to do. I heard from many people that the natural scenery was beautiful but others complained about the crowds, especially when cruise ships…
Read MoreThe Best Things to do in Zadar, Croatia
After spending a little over 2 weeks in Croatia, I can easily say that Zadar was my favourite spot that I visited. It didn’t have the crowds of Split, the costs of Hvar, or the unfriendliness of Dubrovnik. To me, it felt more local than touristic and had more than enough to keep me busy…
Read MoreThe Best Things to do in Hvar, Croatia
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I LOVED Croatia. Zadar was my favourite place that I visited when I spent a little over 2 weeks in Croatia, but the Island of Hvar was a close second. I loved checking out the massive yachts in the port, I loved strolling through the streets…
Read MoreThe Ultimate Croatia Itinerary: 2 weeks in Croatia
Is there a European destination that screams summer more than Croatia? Personally, I don’t think so. Gorgeous beaches, historic cities, majestic waterfalls, island hopping tours, sailing, and spectacular sunsets are just a few of the amazing things that Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast has to offer. Throw in the added perks of friendly locals, safe towns, and…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days on Procida Island, Italy
I fell in love with Procida, Italy from looking at a photo. The colourful houses beside the turquoise sea with boats bobbing in the bay reminded me a lot of my favourite Greek island, Symi. Add in the fact that it’s relatively unknown, at least compared to the nearby Capri and Amalfi Coast, and small…
Read MoreWhat’s in My Bag: My Travel Essentials
Fun fact: I hate packing. Hate it. I take ages to pack for any trip because I usually last 15 minutes before I get bored, frustrated or both. That being said, after over a decade travelling, often for months at a time, I am getting better at it. Well, sort of. I at least have…
Read MoreThe Best Plus Size Swimsuits for Travel and Ocean Lovers
Let’s be honest, no matter your body size I think that one thing that all women can agree on is that shopping for swimsuits is not always fun. In fact, it can be downright depressing, especially for those of us who don’t look like fashion models. Despite being a water-lover I used to hate wearing…
Read MoreThe Best Travel Clothes for Curvy Women
Ok ladies, let’s talk travel wear. The strappy dresses, string bikinis, and pretty convertible tops that seem to be featured on every packing list, round-up, and Instagram feed. Yes, they are adorable. And I’m sure they look amazing on many women. However, as a curvy girl who is often caught between regular and plus sizes,…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days in Ischia, Italy
When it comes to beach destinations in Italy, most people think of Cinque Terre, Sicily, or the Amalfi Coast. However, you there is an Italian island, not too far from the Amalfi Coast and Capri, that makes for the perfect beach getaway: Ischia. It’s quiet compared to the more popular beach destinations, but still offers…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days in Lake Garda
When it comes to Italian Lakes, Como tends to get all the attention. Granted, it is beautiful, but it’s also quite busy and expensive. So much so that instead of staying there, I decided to go to Lake Como as a day trip from Milan. However, there’s another (even bigger) lake in Italy that is…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days in Milan, Italy
Most people dream about visiting Italy, but when it comes to Milan you tend to hear a lot of mixed reviews. As the fashion capital of the world, Milan is a hit with some people. However, others claim that this Italian city is boring and expensive and suggest going elsewhere. I’ll be honest, Milan was…
Read More3 Days in Venice: The Perfect Venice Itinerary
I’ve been to dozens of cities around the world and yet Venice remains a favourite. There is something truly magical about this city with its canals instead of roads, gondolas instead of cars, and endless palaces. I’ve travelled solo to Venice three times now, my most recent visit was a week long. While some may…
Read MoreHow to Plan a Day Trip to Lake Como From Milan
Lake Como is one of the most popular places in Italy. Famous for its resort towns and villas, Lake Como has a reputation for being a playground for the rich and famous. Which of course, means that when it comes to travel in Italy, Lake Como has a reputation for being a more expensive destination,…
Read MoreBest Places to Travel Solo: Venice
Think Venice is only for couples on romantic vacations? I dare you to think again. Venice seems to be a hit or a miss with most people. A lot of visitors downplay this infamous city, claiming it’s too touristic, too expensive, or even too fake. I disagree completely. Venice is one of my favourite cities.…
Read MoreHow to Spend 5 Days in Naples, Italy (Including Visits to the Amalfi Coast)
I had travelled to Italy several times before I made it down to Naples and the surrounding area, officially known as the Campania region. Like many others, I had heard that Naples was dirty, grungy, sketchy, and, according to some, even dangerous. However, I quickly fell in love with this (admittedly dirty) but vibrant city.…

One of the smallest countries in the world and an absolute must-visit if you find yourself in the area. In the blog post I’m sharing how you can plan the perfect San Marino day trip from Bologna. A Little Bit About San…
Read MoreThings to do in Trieste, Italy
Trieste, Italy wasn’t really somewhere I ever expected to go until I found a cheap flight. I only spent two days in this coastal city and quickly came to appreciate its quiet charms. It may not have as much to do as Rome, be as beautiful as Venice, or have the foodie scene of Bologna,…
Read MoreThings to do in Bologna, Italy: A Bologna Itinerary for Food Lovers
I ended up in Bologna by accident. Well, sort of. I didn’t take the wrong train or anything but it was a last minute decision after my plans in Venice fell through due to flooding. I’ll admit, Bologna was not my favourite city of Italy. I spent 2 full days there but, to be honest,…
Read MoreDon’t Skip Symi, Greece! The Greek Island That Will Steal Your Heart
I leaned against the rail of the small Sebeco ferry as it bounced over the waves of the Aegean Sea away from Rhodes and towards my next destination. Like many of the Greek Islands, this new island looked sparse and rocky. Much of it covered in low, scraggly bushes with a few trees higher up…
Read MoreThe Best of Milos Island: My Milos Greece Itinerary for 3-5 Days
When it comes to the Greek Islands it can be hard to choose. Everyone has their favourites and some have reputations for specific things. For Milos, that’s beaches. This island is famous for its incredible beaches (some of which are hard to access) where you can swim, sunbathe, and even cliff jump. So, if Milos…

Without a doubt Greece is one of my favourite countries. I love the islands, the food, the cute towns with the friendly locals and, of course, the beaches. Plus, I also feel comfortable traveling solo in Greece as a woman. So, when friends of mine planned a destination in Crete I quickly said “YES!” and…
