6 Days in Europes Cheapest Country - Bulgaria
✈️ Trip at a Glance Airline: WizzAir Route: Luton, UK ↔ Sofia, Bulgaria = @£50 Ibis Sofia Airport Hotel: for 1 Night: Approx =@£40 Airbnb: @£419.54 for 7 Nights Total Cost: Approx @£543.54 Sofia is a fascinating, compact city that punches well above its weight in terms of culture, history and sheer value for money. After spending six nights here I can say with confidence: it's one of the best budget destinations in Europe — but you don't need all six days in the city itself.

Day in Mostar and Sarejevo
My journey to Bosnia didn't go to plan - but lets be honest, when do plans go exactly the way you want them to? I was expecting to catch the first coach from Kotor old town to Dubrovnik in Croatia at 14:00 but the bus was already over 1 hour later than expected and getting through the border control point also took over 45 minutes. With only a 15 minute coach change in Dubrovnik, I had missed my interchanging coach to get me to Mostar. This put a spanner in the works which me

How to spend 4 days in Montenegro
After spending my time in Croatia back in 2019, the rest of the balkans have always intrigued me after experiencing the gorgeous mountaneous views and scenery. On this trip, I would tick off another 2 countries in Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovinia. I had passed through the Montenegro border during my coach travel from Split to Dubriovnik and seeing the mountains and lakes in the distance peaked my interest further and now was the time. Montenegro is fast becoming a tourist

12 Days in Thailand - Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi
Back in 2022, I was on a night out with some friends, myself and Daniel were talking about our travel adventures and where we'd prospectively like to go in the next few years. I rememeber vividly the conversation, and we were all pretty tipsy at this point and he said "Ben, have you ever been to Thailand?" I said "no, I'd never really thought about travelling to Asia besides Tokyo". Then that night we booked our flights to Thailand, roll on 6 months we were flying out for the
