From Cambridge, you can easily do a cheeky day trip to London, England (there is one in Canada as well, don’t mix them up) since it’s only about an hour by train. eat. If you want to convince me to marry you for under 40 quid, just take me to my favourite restaurant- Flat Iron. […]

I forgot for a minute there that I lived in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This post is a blast from 2021 past. I had to look up the year because from 2020-2023 I have no memory of this place. I do remember that my accommodation was near a Lidl supermarket, which I was jazzed about because

It was my first Oktoberfest (I know, right? I’m just as shocked)- I went from September 28-October 1 2023. It’s right up my alley- German drinking, hearty German food, traditional German attire. Delightful. I went to Munich with a couple of beauties, who happen to both speak German- one of which was a frequent flyer

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

arriving in Bari from Durres, Albania I thought Bari would be a bit icky because it has a massive ferry port situation going on, but it still has a little somethin, somethin. On the web (do people still say that?)– I’ll answer for you, no– you’ll see there is a street (Arco Basso) where adorable

My Albania route: The day before I left Gjirokaster, I walked into a shop that could have been an information center or someone’s house. There was a woman sitting so I asked her if there was a direct bus to Durres, she got up and looked at some papers adorning the walls that seemed to

Just like my sugary, bus-station lemon tea, Gjirokaster is steep. I got dropped off on the side of the main, flat road. This is where you will find a Lidl, a Credins Bank atm that doesn’t charge fees and good restaurants with decent prices. Once you begin scaling the mountain to your accommodation (assuming you’re

For 500 lek cash you can catch the bus from Tirana to Berat. I left at 10:45, arriving at the Berat bus station at 12:55. What an eventful bus ride it was. I was seated next to a lovely poet who gifted me a signed copy of his book, which I ended up shamefully leaving
