I stared out the window of my shuttle van into the streets of Luang Prabang, the ‘New York City’ of Laos. As I watched the locals slowly setting up for the nightly market and the tourists strolling hand in hand past the shops with fresh fruit shakes in hand, I didn’t quite understand the NYC…

There were a million and one reasons why I thought I would fall in love with Vietnam. Vietnamese steeet food was not one of them. It’s not that I didn’t expect to like the food, more that food usually doesn’t rank really high on my travel radar, especially in places like Southeast Asia. Don’t get…

Read MoreSolo Travel in Vietnam: Tips and What to Expect
Vietnam seems to be one of those places that people either fall in love with or end up disliking. I know several people who fall on both sides but I’m happy to say I was one of the lucky ones who fell in love with Vietnam. That being said, compared to other destinations in Southeast…
Read MoreVietnam Itinerary: Get The Most Out of 2 Weeks in Vietnam
I didn’t really know how I would feel about Vietnam. It seemed to be one of those places that people either love or hate. I was worried about the traffic, intrigued by the food, and looking forward to the natural beauty. I didn’t expect to fall in love with it, but over my time in…

Read More3 Days in Hong Kong: A Hong Kong Itinerary for First Time Visitors
I’ll be honest; I didn’t think that I’d like Hong Kong. I was worried that it would be too big, too busy, too modern. After spending so much time travelling through small villages and towns in Southeast Asia where I couldn’t drink the tap water or flush toilet paper, I thought that being in Hong…

I didn’t know what to expect from Uzbekistan. I knew it had pretty buildings and was somewhere I wanted to see someday but, to be honest, if you had asked me to point it out on an unlabelled map, I would have struggled. However, having now been, I can only rave about this country. About…

If you are anything like me, packing stresses you out. Not just for the fear of forgetting to bring something, but also the pressure of making sure that you pack the right things. For the climate, for the activities planned, and to be respectful. When it came to what to wear in Uzbekistan I wasn’t…
Read MoreESBT European Christmas Markets & Castles 2025
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and there is no better place to get in the holiday spirit than Europe’s Christmas markets. The lights, the decorations, the music, the gluhwein.

Located off the coastline of Tanzania, Zanzibar is considered to be an island paradise that attracts travellers around the world, especially in conjunction with a mainland safari, which is exactly how I visited.

Read MoreWhat to Pack for An African Safari? My Take After 5 Weeks in Africa
What to pack for an African Safari? I can’t tell you how many times I searched those terms in the months leading up to my big Africa trip that would take me across 6 countries. I searched on Google and YouTube, on Instagram and Tiktok. I searched by country. I searched specifically for women. I…

Going to Edinburgh was my first real solo backpacking experience. Sure I’d been living in Ireland for a few weeks by then and seen a bit of the country, but I had either been with my parents or close enough to my new home that I didn’t feel that it really counted. I chose Scotland…
Read MoreGoing to a Peep Show in Amsterdam: My Red Light District Experience
What comes to mind when you think of Amsterdam? Is the tulips? Windmills? Cute wooden clogs? Probably not. While these things are associated with Amsterdam, most tourists know it for two other things: marijuana and the Red Light District, or basically, sex. Pretty much anything to do with sex really; sex shops, condom shops, live…

Read More3 days in Iceland Itinerary: See the Best of Iceland
Ah Iceland. It’s hard to believe that it wasn’t that long ago that very few people considered this country as a tourist destination. Thanks to Game of Thrones and social media, that’s all now changed. But even when I first visited in 2012 people were more confused than interested. Looking back on the Iceland that…

Paris is known as a romantic destination for couples but it’s actually one of my favourite cities for solo travel. In fairness, I didn’t expect to love Paris. I actually only went for the first time in 2011 because I heard of the Christmas Markets but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love…
