This isn’t your average travel guide – it’s the real-time brain dump of a slightly sleep-deprived traveller navigating the chaos, charm, and caffeine highs of the cities I’ve wandered through so far. These notes were typed between airport transfers, coffee breaks, and moments of existential awe in front of those magnifique views. Expect brutally honest tips, mini-rants, and the kind of advice you only get after making the mistake yourself.

P.S. This section isn’t part of my usual 'Daily Blog', but I’m keeping everything together here so it’s easy for YOU to find it all in one place. Click on the links below for a quick 'What To Do, And How To Do It' summary of all the cities I’ve visited recently.
Visa’s a breeze if you’ve got the right docs; Istanbul’s a maze of airports, SIM card traps, and postcard views — and totally worth it. Skip the tourist traps, grab an IstanbulKart, and don’t miss the Asian side — where charm lives and sunsets win.
Oslo is a walkable yet pricey city, best explored with a solid itinerary, a global card, and a sense of humour. From quirky sculptures and world-class museums to budget bites and hidden neighbourhoods, this guide helps you survive (and enjoy) Oslo without going broke.
Tirana’s a whirlwind at first, but once you crack the code — visa-free entry, budget-friendly eats, and espresso-fueled midnight vibes — it’s pure Balkan magic. From airport hacks to bus mazes, meat feasts to Mostafa’s hostel heroics, Albania’s charm lies not in perfection, but in its warmth, chaos, and unforgettable café culture.
Kotor’s magic lies in its slow strolls, fortress climbs, and budget hacks — visa-free entry (if you’ve got a UK/Schengen visa), tobacco shop SIMs, and buses with bay views. From Podgorica airport scams to Perast sunsets and Burek-fuelled hikes, this trip’s all about charm, chaos, and cobblestones.
