Despite being one of the largest Greek Islands, and famed for its 300 days of sunshine, Rhodes does not feel like a “tourist city” and has a far more relaxed atmosphere compared to Santorini. It really is a place that will bring out the island girl in you. Here, you can interact with the locals and immerse yourself in authentic Greek culture without feeling like an outsider or being surrounded by busloads of holidaymakers. As a result, my time in Rhodes was laid-back and I decided not to endure in a lot of sight-seeing. Instead, I decided to enjoy the calm island life for as long as I could. It was…

Santorini needs little to no introduction. It’s stark white and bright blue architecture dominates stunning shorelines, and is in many ways, the coastal version of Paris when it comes to all things romance. But just like Paris, this destination is so much more than a destination of love, and I would go as far as say that it is the most famous Greek Island because there is so many things to do and unique experiences to indulge in. Thousands of people from around the world flock to this iconic destination each summer to have an unforgettable holiday – from honeymoons and bachelors/ bachelorettes to friend groups and yes, families as…

Home to great minds such as Plato and Aristotle to the setting of crucial historic events like the Persian Wars, the attractions in Athens are both blessed and cursed with incredible stories spanning 3400 years – all while remaining ingrained within the modern metropolitan Greek life. Imagine walking down a street of designer shops, only to turn the corner and find yourself near the ruins of a classic, ancient temple. It’s a surreal experience, but a beautiful way to gain a natural lens into humanity’s past. Not to mention, the allure of Athens is not limited to marble and stone. One of the best things about the city are the…

I visited Budapest during the winter when the city was always covered in fog for miles in the early morning and when I began my adventures before the sun rose. It was a dreamlike experience and perfect setting to fall in love with the capital of one of the oldest countries in Europe (founded in 897). The city is a beautiful place complete with a deep and sometimes traumatising history while also being home to a never-ending list of talented artists, musicians, filmmakers, sportspeople and scientists. Therefore its no wonder that there are 15 unmissable attractions in Budapest, and that it is always alive and buzzing with activity – even…

Travelling to Belgium is an essential part of European adventures. Amid medieval town cores, delightful chocolate, and overflowing beer, Belgium cities are lively centres for all things history, culture and sweet treats. The country’s beauty extends into the natural wonders as well, through forest-edged kayaking rivers and rural chateaux to scenic North Sea beaches. There is something on offer for every type of traveller. This post however, will focus on exploring Antwerp and Brussels, the two largest cities, and most popular destination for admiring everything from castle to carnivals. Wander the beautiful streets with a handful of traditional Belgian fires – thick-cut and drizzled in mayo – and take in all…
