Podgorica is the second least visited capital city in Europe. Often dubbed as ‘boring’, I am here and hoping to find not only why that is, but what there actually is to see. Always drawn to historical places, the first area I explore is the oldest part of the city. What remains of Stara Varos …

On my first visit to the city last year, I wanted to stay in an authentic neighbourhood, to be close to temples and historical sights. This year, while I wait for my passport to renew, I decided to try a different area, one that is home to the expats. The Nimman Chiang Mai a digital …
As a slow traveller, one of my most favourite things to do in any city is to amble aimlessly. I’m not a huge fan of seeing the usual tourist sights anywhere I go. Instead, my passion lies in finding the hidden gems, meeting locals and feeling as immersed as I can in everyday life. Get …

These posts are always interesting to me. They record my initial thoughts upon arrival at each destination. I enjoy seeing how my images have changed by the time I am ready to leave any given area. Here are my first impressions of Seville Spain. Friendly If you didn’t read my previous post, you won’t know …
I’m back in Europe and am thrilled for the change of scenery. My last six months has been spent in Asia, a first taste visiting that corner of the world as an adult. Time for Europe summer. Finding myself in a completely new to me destination, here are my first impressions of Sarajevo in Bosnia. …
Oh gosh, I cannot believe I am in Korea! Like Japan, this destination has been a dream but one that I never expected to be real. Probably even more so than Japan. I have arrived and had a few days to adjust and explore. Here are my first impressions of Busan South Korea. Fast Driving …
I was in complete shock when I arrived into town. It is very clear, that the infrastructure of this once quaint village, has in no way kept up with the growing population and popularity of this part of Bali. Walking the streets & being safe in Ubud is a real challenge and not one I …
When I was initially deciding what countries to visit on this first taste of Asia, and I arrived at planning April, I knew it had to be Japan. If there is one thing I have heard over and over in my life, it is to experience spring here. Seeing the beautiful Sakura cherry blossoms in …

Two thousand years ago, the Romans conquered a Hellenistic settlement just outside of current day Antalya. The beautiful roman city of Perge in Turkey was born.

Oh I am in heaven once again. After being in Salerno, and seeing, quite literally, only one cat up on a balcony, the entire time I was there, I am now surrounded! There are so many adorable shy cats of Modica that I am running out of space for all of the photos. Modica Alta …
One of my absolute favourite things to do in any city I feel safe in, is to explore with abandon. There is nothing quite like stumbling around and never knowing what you are going to see around the next corner! Come get lost with me in the streets of Salerno, more specifically in the old …
One of my very favourite places in the world to see and photograph graffiti is here. Beautiful Roman graffiti & street art is prolific, incredible and can be quite controversial. Freedom Rome seems to let its artists have an immense amount of freedom or leniency when it comes to graffiti and street art. What many …
