Guides to cities and places
Ljubljana is the beautiful Capital City of Slovenia, and is often overlooked by travelers visiting Europe. For a Capital City, it is relatively small, at only around 300k residents, and those passing through often pass it by, heading for their final destination in other countries. This is a great pity, […]
Having just returned from a trip around Europe, I am constantly asked questions about how safe it is. My answer is generally that Europe, on a whole, can be a very safe place to travel. Obviously though, there are some places that are safer than others. So today I have […]
Annecy is a small town in France that I stumbled upon several months ago whilst researching the country. It frequently popped up in lists as one of the most beautiful small towns in France, and a must visit for anyone to the region. On my recent visit to Europe, I […]
I first came across the city of Padua when I was researching locations in Northern Italy some time ago. It immediately struck me as a seemingly wonderful little town, that really flew under the radar of its more popular neighbors of Venice and Verona. Whilst passing through the area though, […]
Holmfirth is a sleepy little town in West Yorkshire that, despite it’s size and seemingly innocuous presence, hosts a great many more visitors than one would expect. This is mostly due to a famous and very, very popular TV show that was set in the town. With so many visitors […]

Having lived on the island of Bali for the over 5 years, and after posting over 90 articles about experiences, itineraries and places to go, I have decided to do an update to my Complete Guide to Bali! Everything that I put in this guide will be from my own […]
Lecco is a city that is almost forgotten amongst its bigger, brighter and ritzier neighbors around Lake Como. It is a place that is framed by the crystal blue waters of the lake, and towering, snow capped mountains. This is a city that poets and artists fall in love with, […]
Fethiye is a small port city located along the Southern Coast of Turkey. It has become more and more popular in recent years with visitors who have become aware of Fethiye’s beautiful blue waters, stunning scenery and rock tombs built into the cliffs high above. With it having become one […]
When it comes to planning a European vacation, there are many destinations and cities that automatically go onto the list. Places such as Paris, Rome and London tend to feature prominently. But what about a place such as Istanbul? Unless you are stopping by on a layover, many people tend […]
