It feels like ages ago when I had the mad idea that, like lots of other travel obsessed people, I'd quite like to have visited 40 different countries before I turn 40. At the time I was 31 and I'd visited 14 countries (and that was counting England, Scotland and Wales, which are *not* counted in my final tally, so really I'd only visited 11!) It felt like visiting 29 countries … [Read more...]
Everything you need to think about before attending Leeds Light Night (or any other!)
I've talked before about attending Leeds Light Night in 2023, but this time I wanted this post to be more informative and not just full of pretty light photos (although there's plenty of those, don't worry!) If you've never been to a Light Night style event, it can be easy to decide it's not something for you, or be worried about crowds, finding your way around and hidden … [Read more...]
*Managing periods during travel

We visited Belgrade after Sarajevo because there were direct flights to and from both cities, and … [Read more...]
Spending 48 hours in Sarajevo / Visiting Sarajevo
Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is definitely a more unusual city to visit. I've found that barely anyone has understood why I wanted to visit Sarajevo. 'There's a war there!' (Not since 1995, a whole 30 years ago-pretty sure we're good to visit now!) I've also had 'where is Bosnia' and 'well there won't be anything to do there'. Bosnia and Herzegovina is part … [Read more...]
Spending 48 hours in Athens / Visiting Athens
Greece is a country that I'd not thought too much about, other than admiring the beautiful white buildings, blue roofs and dreamy views of many, many Santorini Instagram posts, and I'd never really looked into visiting Athens. When our friends invited us to their July wedding in Cyprus, I wanted to add a short city break on to the beginning of our summer holiday, to make it … [Read more...]
