The early start on leg seven of our adventure was rather refreshing. The cool morning air mixed with the heavy fog draping itself over Ljubljana’s castle and river was mystical. We were sad to be leaving Slovenia, as it is such a beautiful country from the scenery to the friendly welcoming people. It was on…
It is so nice to walk into a hostel and feel right at home straightaway. Euro Lodge is literally a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Haymarket station. It is down a dinky cobblestone back road lined with triangular shaped houses. It is in number 39 that you will find Euro Lodge. It is not really a…

I arrived into London a fortnight ago after 7 months of traveling throughout Europe, you could say it was a well deserved break after living and working for 4 years in the sandpit of Dubai. Man oh man can I say it was a refreshing experience arriving into England. It’s nice to be able to…
I have just finished a 7-month backpacking trip around Europe. I guess you could say that I’m now considered as an avid traveler so I believe what I am about to say is completely justified.
