After Seville, we took a bus to Faro. It took 3 hours, although I found that if we’d looked a little more into Seville’s bus station we could have saved half an hour by going to the second stop. Faro is on the South coast of Portugal and I wanted to get a little bit … More Portugal: Faro, Olhão and Culatra Island
Seville is the beautiful capital city of Aldalusia, southern Spain, and the winner of Lonely Planet’s best place to visit in 2018. I didn’t know this when I planned my visit; rather, I wanted to go somewhere warm, and when I realised that Seville was one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones’s Dorne, … More Spain: Finding Dorne in Beautiful Seville
When my friend invited me to come and visit her in Aarhus, Denmark, a city I had not even heard of, I jumped at the chance. I soon learned that Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark (home to just 273,000 people) and was founded as a Viking settlement back in the 8th century. … More Denmark: Checking our Aarhus
After a few months in Cluj-Napoca, I have spent many afternoons in coffee shops with my laptop. While I thought that I had accumulated a vast array of useless knowledge, it occurs to me now that you and other digital nomads might like to know where the best places are to spend an afternoon working, … More Romania: Cafés to Work From in Cluj
A salt mine with a theme park inside? There was no way I could turn this down. So, a few months ago, I headed to Turda, a town that’s about an hour outside Cluj-Napoca to have a look at Salina Turda. It’s basically a salt mine museum with some interesting things to do inside! Getting … More Romania: Turda Salt Caves and Gorge
It is with great joy that I can announce that I have moved again – this time to Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I hadn’t even heard of this gem of a city before September, and yet now I’m in love. In the UK – mostly thanks to the media – Romania tends to be depicted as a land of … More Romania: Introducing Cluj-Napoca, my new home
Eger is wine country in Hungary, and we couldn’t resist stopping by for a couple of days to check out its wine cellars and the thermal baths of Egerszalók. A popular weekend destination for Budapest residents, the journey from Keleti station only takes around two hours and the train we took even had free Wifi. We … More Hungary: Wine cellars and thermal baths in Eger and Egerszalók
It was a cold October evening when we arrived in Budapest. It was already almost 11pm, and most of the airport had closed up for the night, apart from a small cafe who wouldn’t break our freshly withdrawn 5000 Forint note. With our massive backpacks strapped into place, we each picked up the other two bags … More Hungary: Thermal baths and ruin pubs in Budapest
It’s hard to write about where you’re from. I’m originally from Pen Llŷn, or the Lleyn Peninsula (as it gets translated). I’m fluent in Welsh and studied most of my primary and secondary education in both Welsh and English. Back then, I always wanted to get out. The “village mindset”, where everybody knows each other’s business, … More UK: Exploring Pen Llŷn/the Lleyn Peninsula, North Wales
For those of you who don’t know, I’m actually from North Wales originally. I grew up near Pwllheli, on the Lleyn Peninsula, and I go back to visit my family whenever I can. A lack of career prospects and a desire to see the world drove me out at a young age, but none of this … More UK: Beautiful places to visit around Snowdonia National Park (North-West Wales) – Walks and Hikes
