This is going to be a patchwork quilt of a post. It’s going to feel itchy, you’ll be confused, and it’s something you should probably just let gather dust in a cupboard. Our route: I have to say, the cat situation in Bulgaria is top. Reasonably well-fed strays everywhere, and some non-strays that we followed […]

Why are there so many men wearing track suits in Bulgaria? It’s a genuine question, please tell me if you can unravel this mystery. Our route: When I got off the plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, it immediately smelled like I thought Bulgaria would smell, even though I’ve never been there before. Just going to let

Girona in Spain is very Italian, if you ask me. Nobody did, but I share that opinion with everyone I meet. Bit sus. It’s a beaut. Apparently they filmed season 6 GoT here (do we all hate that I used the abbrev.). You can reenact the shame, shame, shame scene till your heart’s content. There
I take 0 credit for that yummy title. Nestled between France and Spain, sits Andorra. Originally, I thought people were mispronouncing some region of Spain that I never heard of.

Hard to say what impressed me more. Snaking our way down towards the ruins, we experienced our last moments of

After a month of having a grand time travelling Europe, the question on everyone’s mind is is it worth getting an Interrail/ Eurail pass? Yes, but not if you’re planning to go to Eastern Europe: Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia etc. you will not get any value for the pass here. There are either no trains

Italy really puts the rail in Eurail. so that’s why I decided to take a ferry from Durres, Albania to Bari, Italy- so I could use my train pass. From Bari, I headed north to Rimini. How did I end up in the relaxed seaside town of Rimini for 4 nights? Bit of background info,
