Hey Reader! Have you ever lived abroad before or is it something you’re seriously considering? During these uncertain times, more and more people are choosing to up sticks and live abroad. Back in 2022 an estimated 471,000 Brits emigrated to other countries, and in 2023 that number rose to 508,000 (according to the Office of National Statistics). Although Brexit has made emigrating to popular European countries such as Spain a more complicated issue (you need to have a considerable income), a...

Hey there Reader, Do you have plans this year to visit a new city (or country) that you’ve never been to before? One of my favourite aspects of travel is discovering a completely new city and its local culture. But knowing where to go and what to see can be complicated and overwhelming. That’s why I always book a walking tour on my first day in a new city. Walking tours are a perfect way to see the main tourist attractions and learn all about the city’s history from an expert guide in an hour...

Hey Reader! Have you ever had the chance to visit multiple countries in just 1 day? It sounds an insanely ambitious idea, but in Europe it’s certainly possible. That’s what I did when a travel buddy convinced me to walk across Liechtenstein in less than one day. Read my blog post: How To Walk Across Liechtenstein In One Day: The Complete Guide We started in Salzburg, Austria, caught a train to the Liechtenstein border where we spent several hours hiking across this magnificent country, before...

Hey Reader! Let me start this email by wishing you a very happy new year! I hope 2025 brings you all that you want and more. What’s the best country you’ve visited where the cuisine totally blew you away? For me it has to be South Korea. South Korea has become a foodie’s paradise in recent times, so knowing which food spots to hit when visiting is a must. I was very lucky to be given a food tour of Seoul from an actual local on my very first day in the country. Read my blog post for all the...

Hey Reader! What’s the craziest, most physically demanding travel adventure you’ve ever experienced? Mine would have to be walking the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. I decided to walk the camino at the end of a tiring 8 months of solo travelling around the world. But I really underestimated how exhausting the camino would be. Read my blog post: Best Time To Walk Camino de Santiago (& The Worst!) I was down to my very last few hundred euros and I knew that stretching that amount to last...

Hey Reader! What’s the most spiritual experience you’ve ever had on your travels? Mine occurred when I was travelling around India - Varanasi to be precise. It is a memory I won’t soon forget. I had spent a night watching an amazing fire ceremony on the banks of the river Ganges that happens every night. The ceremony ended around ten o’clock and I was making my way back to my hostel when I was approached by a young teenager who asked if I wanted a tour of the burning gat. I told him...

Hey Reader! Have you ever been scammed while on your travels before? Or worse, scammed by the local mafia? I have, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. This was during my first solo trip around the world - to say I was super naive would be quite an understatement. I was travelling around Phnom Penh, Cambodia when it happened. One day I was approached by a local and after a pleasant conversation he invited me to his family home the next day. And like an idiot, I agreed 🤦♂️. The next day...
