Discover Bucharest: The Ultimate Guide to the City’s Best Attractions
This blog post contains affiliate links. We went to Bucharest earlier this year in spring and it was a city that completely surpassed our expectations! I still think Eastern Europe is massively underrated and not a lot of tourists (Brits especially) visit Romania. We did venture out further afield than Bucharest on our Romanian trip – another blog post coming on that soon! But we also spent a couple of days in the capital, Bucharest and thoroughly enjoyed out time there. There were loads of attractions to visit so keep reading for what we thought Bucharest’s top attractions are and how you too, can plan a weekend in this beautiful,…

Everything you need to know about your trip to Europa Park
Before working in the Attractions industry, I’d never heard of Europa Park, a massive theme park in southern Germany but quickly learnt how much of a big deal it is, and is rated as one of the best theme parks in mainland Europe! Walking around the park, you may be fooled into thinking you could be in EPCOT, Orlando, from the massive golf ball which dominates the centre of the park (there’s also a ride inside too!). There’s also a parallel with the theming and the fact that it’s based on different countries, however this place takes EPCOT’s world showcase and multiples it by 10! The theming truly makes it…

The best places to eat in Kraków
Ever wanted to visit the famous Polish city of Kraków and interested in the food? Well stick around as I share where we ate on a recent trip and our honest food reviews! For starters… I’m a big fan of trying local cuisine wherever I travel and like to push myself out of my comfort zone to try things I normally wouldn’t eat. I definitely embodied this on our latest trip to Kraków where I tried to eat as many local delicacies as possible. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from Polish food (other than it being very meat-heavy!) and was excited to try new things. Streetfood The…

Why I decided to start my own travel blog
Introduction A quick introduction to explain why I chose to start my own travel blog and what you can expect to find here… My back story… Quick run down of me…I’m Ffion, a Welsh traveller who is always trippin’ around the world (I swear I spend most of my time googling flight and hotels!). I’ve been very fortunate to have travelled from a young age and this has carried into adulthood. My favourite type of holiday is a city break, especially within Europe (it is by far my favourite continent!) and whenever I can, I try to get away for a few days. I love spending a long weekend somewhere…
