Würzburg is one of those German cities that takes people completely by surprise. Most visitors arrive expecting a pleasant enough stopover on the way to somewhere else — maybe a quick look at the palace before driving south toward Munich — and end up staying twice as long as planned,
Amsterdam is one of those cities that gets you every single time. I know that sounds like a cliché but there really is something about arriving in Amsterdam that never gets old, regardless of how many times you’ve done it. The moment you step off the train at Centraal Station
Okay, I’ll admit it upfront — I’m completely biased when it comes to England. I have been for years and I make no apology for it. There is something about this country that gets under your skin in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain to people who haven’t experienced
Hidden places in Iceland are the reason people keep coming back to this country year after year, even after they think they’ve seen everything. Iceland has a way of doing that to you. You visit once, you do the obvious things, and somewhere between the geysers and the waterfalls and
Greece is one of those countries that gets under your skin in a way that very few places do, and once it does, you spend the rest of your life finding reasons to go back. The food, the light, the history, the warmth of the people, the color of the
The Netherlands is one of those countries that is massively underestimated by most travellers. People fly into Amsterdam, spend a few days exploring the canals, visit the Rijksmuseum, and then fly home thinking they’ve seen the Netherlands. And look, Amsterdam is brilliant, genuinely one of the best cities in Europe,
Switzerland is one of those countries that completely rewires your expectations of what a place can look like. Before I first went, my mental image of Switzerland was a very specific one: snow-covered mountains, fondue by a fireplace, chocolate in every shop window, and watches in a glass cabinet. All
France is one of those countries that somehow manages to exceed expectations every single time you visit — and I say that as someone who has been many, many times and still finds themselves utterly surprised around every corner. It’s easy to think of France as just Paris. Paris is
Germany is one of those countries that completely surprises you — and I mean that in the best possible way. Before my first trip, I honestly thought it would be all beer halls and car museums (not that there’s anything wrong with either of those things). But the moment you
Choosing where to go in Italy is genuinely one of the most overwhelming travel decisions you’ll ever make — and I say that as a compliment to the country. It’s not that the choices are difficult because some of them are bad. They’re all good. Every single one. The problem
Spain is one of those countries that somehow manages to be everything at once. Sun-bleached coastlines, ancient Moorish palaces, cities that don’t sleep until 3am, wine regions that stretch as far as you can see — and food that ruins you for everywhere else. It’s a country with serious range,
