My first 20 minutes in Sofia were spent sitting on the floor outside the airport wondering how I was going to get to my hostel. Uber, unfortunately, hasn't quite crossed the borders to Bulgaria yet so any dreams I had of wordlessly making it to Hostel Mostel with the help of a nice, anonymous Uber … Continue reading Three days in Sofia, Bulgaria, for less than £50

Stopping off in Bratislava en route to Budapest
I ended up in Bratislava as a sort of accident. Not the type where you get on the wrong plane or book the wrong tickets, but more as a sort of convenience. I mean, the first situation isn’t that rare for me - once I booked gig tickets for Nottingham instead of Northampton, seemingly thinking … Continue reading Stopping off in Bratislava en route to Budapest

REVIEW: Four days at The Pink Palace, Corfu

My first solo travel adventure included an … Continue reading The nine free travel apps I couldn’t live without
A walk around Stockholm’s incredible underground art gallery
It's fair to say I got some strange looks when I told my family and friends that I spent an afternoon riding around Stockholm's underground system when I only had a handful of days in the country. And sure, doing that in pretty much any other country would be weird. But Stockholm, home to the … Continue reading A walk around Stockholm’s incredible underground art gallery
A trip to Warsaw’s Neon museum
Warsaw is generally known for being a historic city. The capital of Poland, (although frequently confused with Krakow) it's filled with faux old buildings, steeped in history and you'll never fall short of learning a new fact. The thing about Warsaw is that it's actually almost entirely brand new. It fell to the ground during … Continue reading A trip to Warsaw’s Neon museum
