It's no secret that I love Porto. I've even written a complete guide to Porto, as I've been three times now and feel like I'm starting to see the city enough to justify a detailed city guide. On my most recent visit, in August/September 2026, I wanted to start getting out of the city a little and so looked at GetYourGuide for day trip options from Porto. Aveiro was one I saw … [Read more...]
TikTok travel trends: Has the rise of social media changed the way I travel (and should I let it?)
If you, like me, are permanently on the internet, with a TikTok addiction and way too many hours spent scrolling Instagram reels, you’ll know that each city has places that have gone viral. Sometimes it’s a sunset spot, sometimes a jewellery shop, sometimes it’s a gelato place, but it’s always all over my feed as soon as I’ve seen one video about it. When I first … [Read more...]

I’ve stayed in an Airbnb in Porto … [Read more...]
Making Pastel de natas at Boiler Studio, Porto

I also love Pastel de natas, so when I spotted that Getyourguide does Pastel de … [Read more...]
Spending a day in Rotterdam
As someone who really, really likes Amsterdam, it makes sense that I'd want to see more of The Netherlands. I recently visited Maastricht and enjoyed the city too but, despite at least six visits to Amsterdam (or more, I've lost count!) I'd never made it to Rotterdam. In July 2026, that changed, when our football team, Burnley, planned to play a friendly against Ajax. We … [Read more...]
Toastable review, The Netherlands
When we were last in Amsterdam, in July 2026, I knew I wanted to try some different food, rather than just relying on pancakes and fries (pancakes and fries were also consumed, don't worry!). I'm also researching in preparation for a complete guide to Amsterdam post I'm working on, so I started to look into well-rated places to eat in Amsterdam. Toastable kept coming … [Read more...]
