Travel planning can feel like a headache for anyone. In my years of travelling, I’ve done all of my planning either by myself or with a friend, and trust me when I say, it’s a lot harder than it looks. And it already looks pretty hard.   Between endless browser tabs and budget calculations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you’ve even packed your bags. I’ve definitely been there, staring at my screen, wondering where to even start.   Through trial and error (and a few mis

South Africa is a country that grabs your heart from the moment you arrive. With its gorgeous weather, vast wildlife, stunning scenery, and—of course—the wine, it’s truly a place you should visit at least once in your life. Trust me, planning a trip here can feel a bit overwhelming at first. But don’t worry, I’m here to walk you through the essentials and share some insider tips so you can create your own ultimate travel guide to one of the most incredible destinations in the

Getting Around London Public transport in London is incredibly efficient and easy to use. With their tap-in, tap-out system on the Underground and buses, you can simply use your phone or contactless card. No need to buy paper tickets! The best part? There’s a daily cap of £9.90 for travel within central London. So, no matter how much you hop around, you’ll never spend more than that. That said, central London is surprisingly walkable (if you don’t mind braving the crowds). I

There’s something magical about Dublin in the winter. The cobblestone streets that glisten in the rain, the warmth of the pubs, and the bright decorations that light up Temple Bar Street. Recently, I was lucky enough to celebrate one of my best friend’s wedding day. She and her husband chose Dublin for their long weekend “mini-moon,” which got me reminiscing about my own winter weekend there, and how perfect it was. If planned well, you can absolutely make the most out of a s

During my most recent trip to Greece, I had the chance to stay at Hotel & Village Panorama located in Agia Pelagia. This all-inclusive hotel, perched on a scenic hill with stunning views of the Mediterranean, was just as beautiful as the pictures suggested. Here’s my full review of the property, amenities, and surrounding area. Location and First Impressions The hotel is about a 20-minute taxi ride from Heraklion Airport. We booked through a travel company and had a transpor

Wellesley, Massachusetts in the fall feels like stepping straight into a storybook, or at least the Stars Hollow Set. The leaves turn shades of red and brown; shopfronts are decorated with cheerful autumn signs, and there’s an unmistakable small-town warmth that makes you half-expect someone to cue soft piano music. For me, Wellesley was more than just a picturesque New England town. It was the final stop at the end of my three-month trip across America, and a much-needed pau

I went to America for my very first solo travel experience, doing Camp America. I set off with my hopes high, ready for adventure. I genuinely thought it would be life-changing, and it was, but in ways I could never have imagined.   After a rocky camp experience, I was thrilled to finally have finished my duties and to start exploring the States with my new best friends. The trip was finally starting to feel like the adventure I’d hoped for. We made our way from New York to L

Travelling alone and taking part in something as huge as Camp America is exciting, especially for someone like me, who loves meeting new people and exploring new places. All I had known about camp was from The Parent Trap and reviews online that gloated a “life-changing” experience and “the best summer of my life”. Naturally, I went in expecting the ultimate experience… but reality had a few surprises in store.   Camp life wasn’t quite the “ultimate experience” I imagined, b
