Split is an excellent base to explore the Dalmatian coast as well as the many nature reserves in the vicinity. We were in Split for 3 nights and decided to do day trips to Hvar and Krka Waterfalls as we didn't have to travel too far, giving us enough time to explore both places at… Continue reading Day trips from Split – Hvar Island, Krka Waterfalls

Croatia Travel Diary – Split
I've been wanting to go to Croatia for a while now (before the Game of Thrones hype believe it or not!) and 2017 was the year it finally happened. With its dramatic, mountainous scenery coupled with mesmerisingly clear, turquoise waters, all I can say is I'm not surprised that the Croatia travel industry is booming! The… Continue reading Croatia Travel Diary – Split

Ljubljana Food Guide
I was pretty impressed with Ljubljana's food scene. You won't be hard pressed to finding something that will suit most tastes here, including a good selection of vegan and organic food. Slovenia is surrounded by Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia so the food here is very much a fusion of all of the above. There… Continue reading Ljubljana Food Guide

It is well connected with trains from Milan and is a lot more buzzing than the smaller towns and hamlets along the lake. This is both a positive and negative, depending on what… Continue reading Como to Milan

Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como
There aren't many places like Lake Como. With its epic scenery and panoramic views in all directions, it is an effortlessly romantic travel destination.

How to get there To… Continue reading Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como
Weekend in Valencia
Valencia is Spain's third largest city on the south-eastern coast. It doesn't have the same reputation as Madrid or Barcelona but that doesn't mean it doesn't stand out in its own way. A very liveable beach city with diverse architecture and a vibrant food scene. The metro system is user friendly and efficient (€4.50 from… Continue reading Weekend in Valencia
