The city of 7 hills, sat on the Tagus river charms all who visit. Confirmed a green list country for British travelers, more people than ever are thinking about a trip to Portugal. As one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe, Lisbon will no doubt be in the spotlight. As part of a big road trip around Portugal a few years back, we stopped in Lisbon more than once to experience a city buzzing with youthful optimism, yet still so traditionally Portuguese.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Venice. I had once seen it described as half beauty half tourist trap and I wasn’t sure which side i would cling to. It’s true that this city is both. It’s magical and chaotic and I am so grateful to have seen it at least once in my life. We spent only a day in Venice and when I look back at my photos it seems like a faraway dream, which I guess is all part of the charm.

Slowly driving around the lakes of Switzerland and swimming in the clear water was a particularly favourite scene to visit when the hours dragged and dragged.
Read moreAPPENZELL, SWITZERLAND
During an epic road trip through Europe last summer, my partner and I stopped in Switzerland for a few weeks. We spent our time exploring the country and sleeping in our home on wheels. The natural wonder of Switzerland was at our doorstep. Although we loved driving around the sun-kissed roads, one of the best ways to really immerse ourselves in the country was to jump into our hiking boots and explore on foot.

Switzerland is one of those places you read lots of magical stories about and see beautiful photographs of. It wasn’t however somewhere I ever imagined that I would be able to visit (at least not anytime soon). Being one of the most expensive countries in Europe, it was a distant dream. That was until my partner and I decided to embark on a van life adventure last September.

I have been dreaming about travelling around Europe in our campervan for a very, very long time. At the beginning of September this year, my partner and I finally packed up the van and headed across the water. Our trip saw us travel through France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. This wild and wonderful adventure was exactly what we had been craving.

During my time at University, I met two international students from Sofia, Bulgaria. As I spent more and more time with them trying Bulgarian food, learning about the culture and growing evermore curious about their magical country, when I was invited to visit Doroteya and Kaloyan's homeland, I could not refuse! Not only did I fall head-over-heels in love with Bulgaria, but being shown around by two locals made for the perfect trip.
