I starting traveling full time in September 2019 and have no plans to stop. I travel on a budget, preferring to spend money on food and experiences rather than luxury accommodation. My favourite things are hiking, beaches and local cuisine. I contribute to travel writing sites whilst continuing to backpack around the world. https://www.instagram.com/sophiestravellog/
A guide to the island of Sardinia, Italy
I love Italy. It's my favourite country in Europe and I love travelling there, but unfortunately I'm not the only one. Places like the Amalfi Coast are beautiful but are so busy they can actually become unenjoyable to visit. If you want to visit Italy without the mass crowds, then consider a trip to Sardinia. Sardinia is Italy's second largest island and has an international airport as well as ferry connections with Naples and Barcelona.
Why You Should Visit Rarotonga & the Best Things to Do
Everyone loves a good beach holiday but deciding where to go can be difficult. Classic beach destinations like Spain or Greece are easy to get to but are often busy and overcrowded. Famous beach destinations like the Maldives and the Seychelles often dominate lists of “the best beaches in the world”, but may be out of your budget.
But did you know there’s a little-known country that may actually beat them all? That country is the Cook Islands and if you Iike beaches, you need to add it to your must-visit list.
Guide to Island Hopping in French Polynesia
Have you ever seen photos of the overwater bungalows of Bora Bora and dreamed of visiting?
Many people have, but less people actually know about the country of French Polynesia to which Bora Bora is just one small island. In fact, French Polynesia is actually a collection of 121 islands and atolls spread over an area about the size of Europe! And if you’re coming all the way to the South Pacific then why not see more than just Bora Bora, and visit some of the other, equally beautiful, islands.
Traveller’s Guide to visiting Tonga (Tips for Your Trip)
Tonga is a country composed of a group of islands sitting in the Pacific Ocean, between the more well-known destinations of Fiji and French Polynesia. Not many people have heard of Tonga, let alone thought about visiting it. If you have, it’s likely the reason is because you want to swim with humpback whales. Swimming with these majestic animals is a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience, and Tonga is one of the few places in the world where you can do so.

Best things to see and do in Madeira
Madeira is the main island of a small group of Portuguese islands (confusingly, also called Madeira) sitting in the Atlantic Ocean. With plenty of direct flights from the UK and beyond, as well as some beautiful videos showing up on Instagram, Madeira is fast gaining popularity as Europe’s alternative to Hawaii. It’s not hard to see why. With its steep high cliffs leading down into the ocean, the landscapes across the island are simply stunning.

Things to Do and Places to Visit in Bundi
Are you thinking of a trip to India, and more specifically a trip to the region of Rajasthan? If so, then although you may not have heard of Bundi, you should definitely add it to your travel itinerary.
Bundi is a small town about 200km south of the popular Indian cities of Jaipur and Pushkar. It’s a bit off the beaten track and so doesn’t see as many foreign tourists, however, it’s set to become more and more popular.
It’s a chilled-out and authentic town set around a pretty lake.

This part of India is a popular destination for first-time visitors who want to see some of the main highlights of the country.

How to Travel Around Fiji: Travel Guide
Share...
Fiji is a bucket list destination, known for its beautiful white sand beaches surrounded by turquoise waters. Many consider it a luxury honeymoon destination, too much of an extravagance for a standard holiday, however, Fiji is actually a great place to travel around.
Whilst Fiji certainly isn’t a budget destination (it’s probably on a par with Australia and New Zealand), you certainly don’t have to have thousands to enjoy a holiday here.
A guide to Madeira, Portugal
Madeira is a small group of Portuguese islands in the Atlantic Ocean that are actually closer to Morocco than the Portuguese mainland. This means they have pretty temperate weather with mild winters. Although Madeira is actually four islands, the main island, which is also called Madeira, is the one that most people visit and the only one I visited on this trip. This is where the capital, Funchal, is and the main international airport.
A guide to the beautiful city of Venice
Venice is famous worldwide for being one of the most unique cities in the world. A city constructed over the water and connected by a network of canals, it's instantly recognizable and one of the most iconic images of Italy. I've visited Venice twice now and it was just as mesmerising the second time. Stepping out of the train station and seeing the canal in front of me was still a "wow" moment, and whilst over the course of the day you get used to the fact that there are canals everywhere.
A guide to Crete, Greece
Crete is the largest Greek island. It's therefore the perfect destination if you have a couple of weeks in Greece and want to explore but feel like sticking to one island. Crete has beautiful beaches, pretty little towns and, like everywhere in Greece, absolutely amazing food! Although, Crete is famous for producing the best olive oil in Greece which may make the food here extra good! There is a really good public transport system which connects pretty much all of the island.
A guide to Pristina, Kosovo
Pristina is the capital of Kosovo, a "country" sitting landlocked in the middle of the Balkans between Serbia, Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro. I say "country", because although Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, it is still only recognized by 101 of the 193 United Nations Member States. Kosovo's relationship with Serbia and its claim of independence is a difficult issue and one that I won't go into here. Its history makes it an interesting place to visit.
