Its always fun to create these posts and usually I have no shortage of idea’s. Budva however, has not been the most exciting destination, nor one with a whole lot to see and do. After spending a couple of weeks, I have come up with 5 free things to do in Budva Montenegro that might …
I am changing locations now, staying within the country but wanting to experience a smaller city. Having read great reviews about this journey, I decided a train trip was going to be fun. The Bosnian Talgo Train from Sarajevo to Mostar wasn’t exactly as great as it was touted to be. Sarajevo Train Station The …
Having an inkling before I arrived, of the coffee scene that I might find here, I was even more amazed by what I actually discovered. Not only is there an entire street called ‘Café Street’ but there are coffee shops quite literally everywhere! The vibrant coffee culture in Busan Korea is next level amazing. Take …
This is my first time to Korea and one thing I did not expect, not in a thousand years, was the abundance of patisseries, boulangeries and bakeries brimming with delectable French pastries and Korean adaptations. I’m not kidding when I tell you I am surrounded. The mouth-watering delicious bakeries of Busan are out of this …
I had seen photos of this adorable place online before I arrived. Instantly, I knew it would be of interest, for the use of colour and street art is a definite magnet for me. A nice sunny day arrived and it was time. Come spend the day with me at the quirky Gamcheon Culture Village …
A much smaller beach than its large neighbour Karon, this expanse of seaside is quaint and just as beautiful. The fun & lively Kata Beach in Phuket Thailand is a perfect spot for families in the winter months and surfers in the summer. Surfers Paradise Kata is the most popular beach for surfing on Phuket …
My two favourite places in the world, to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee, are Italy and Australia. Both have unique styles of creating the perfect cup of java. When I came here, I was not expecting to find a rival. But that I did. The coffee culture in Vietnam is a Vibe! Da Nang …
Wow have I ever had the pleasure of consuming some delicious eats here in Vietnam. As a budget traveller, I have been strict while living abroad, not eating at restaurants, for the costs will quickly blow my budget. However, here in Vietnam, the prices have been so reasonable, I have been able to indulge. Delicious …
One of the reasons for visiting Hue for me, was to experience culture and history, something that is lacking in the young city of Da Nang. From prior research I knew there was a vast ancient city here and I was eager to explore it. A day at the beautiful Hue Imperial City was just …
I wanted to have a train experience here in Vietnam and thought I would make this journey. The travel time is only 2.5 hours so a nice quick trip and chance to check out train travel here. I travelled by train from Da Nang to Hue City and it was marvellous! Online Booking First, this …
Y’all know how much I love markets around the globe. I happened to find the one in my vicinity, and lucky me, it wasn’t too far away from my flat. Shopping at the Duck Pond Market in Paphos is interesting, I’ll give it that! Location I’m staying in the village of Chloraka and the Duck …
Regular readers are probably aware that I gravitate to the older neighbourhoods when visiting any new destination. I love the depth of character, vibrancy and grit of the old hoods. Cyprus is no different. There is a lot of history to explore here and the old town Paphos is so pretty!! Capital Paphos was once …
I have finished my time in Konyaalti and moved closer to the centre. Here I sit amid the hustle and bustle, noise and chaos that is all things big city. After a short ten minute walk however, I can escape all of this and find myself immersed in beautiful Kaleici Old Town Antalya Turkey. Kaleici …
Having been located here for two weeks now, I have had the opportunity to walk the neighbourhood in depth. This municipality encompasses a large area, mostly residential condo complexes, but there are still a few things to see. Here are 5 free things to do in Konyaalti should you be looking for ideas. The Promenade …
I have been located in this mostly residential municipality for my first couple of weeks in Turkey. I am quite far from the coast, but every other day I cannot help but wander down to beautiful Konyaalti Beach in Antalya. Location From Antalya Old Town, Konyaalti Beach is towards the Taurus Mountain Range, on the …
Wandering down a new to me road the other morning, I found a green space. I crossed the busy highway, and entered into a grassy area. Overcome with the loveliness of seeing fresh green grass, I wandered in a ways. What I had discovered was Ataturk Kultur Park an oasis in the middle of Antalya. …
I have been walking away from my house in a different direction each day, to try and see what is available around this area. I am deep in a residential neighbourhood and I walk about 20 minutes before I see anything besides apartment buildings. One place I have found that I adore is the beautiful …
One thing I was really looking forward to about visiting Catania was eating out. Traditionally, as a budget traveller, I usually stay in Airbnb’s where I have access to a kitchen. I make my food using local ingredients and save so much money doing this. This time, I was staying in a hotel, so tasting …
I knew from limited research that there was a beach area not too far away from me. Looking into things once I arrived, I found out that Modica is indeed quite a large city, with various distinct neighbourhoods. One of these is the beach town, so today was a day trip to the beautiful beach …
