Istanbul Layover Guide: How to Spend 24 Hours (With Itinerary & Logistics)
Out of all the potential layover cities in the broader Middle East, Istanbul is easily my personal favorite. It has a soul and depth of culture and history that is simply difficult for a more modern city like Abu Dhabi or Dubai to match. I’ve now done a layover in Istanbul…

2 Weeks In Southeast Asia – 5 Itineraries & Tons of Trip Ideas
I’ve spent over a year in Southeast Asia across multiple long trips and visited 10 of its 11 countries — and during my journeys, specific stretches stood out to me as near-perfect 2-week trips. These punchy routes pack in the most experiences for the fewest hours in transit.…

Best Hostels in Lima: Where to Stay on the Coast vs. Centro
Lima is maybe not the city you imagine when thinking of Peru. Far from the Andean spirit of Cusco or the peachy squares and arched architecture of Arequipa, landing in Lima means getting dropped inside a whirling cauldron of traffic, pollution, and noise. But… there’s more to…

Phu Quoc Travel Guide: Exploring Vietnam’s Most Exciting Island Getaway
Phu Quoc Island in Southwestern Vietnam has some of the prettiest sea-meets-sand environments in the country. It’s also huge (over an hour’s drive from north to south) with a slower pace than the rest of Vietnam, open roads, beach towns, jungle, and a mix of fishing villages and…

Slow Travel Guide to Caye Caulker (Best Snorkeling, Boat Trips, Street BBQ & More)
The sun was melting into the Caribbean and my pizza melting into a paper plate when Caye Caulker taught me its first lesson. After a long day of travelling from Chetumal, our sundown arrival called for an easy meal, and only after ordering did I realise my wallet was missing. It…

Where to Stay on Caye Caulker: My Favourite Hostels, Guesthouses & Hotels
On my favourite evening on Caye Caulker I did nothing at all. I pulled up a plastic chair on our guest apartment’s balcony, and watched palm trees sway in the wind as fishing boats got smaller and smaller and reggae music wafted from a bar down the street. A local we had met a…

The 5 Best Hostels in Split (ONLY The Top Ones)
When I arrived in Split after backpacking for weeks across the Balkans, I noticed an interesting shift. Whereas in other places I would meet mostly travellers with backpacks (especially inland), here in Split I saw an equal number staying in the hostels carrying rolling luggage.…

How to Get From Chetumal to Caye Caulker – Ultimate Route Guide
Sat on the floor of San Pedro Belize’s immigration office, I had no idea that five months and six countries later, I’d be eating Christmas dinner with the same group of travellers in Colombia. Chaotic border crossings and confusing travel days always make for the best memories…

Cairo Travel Guide: What’s Changed In 2026 (Giza, New Museum & More)
There are ways of romanticizing Cairo, but I just want to be clear: it is, on the whole, a rather dirty and ugly city. The suburbs in particular, which I usually witnessed from a taxi window, are absolutely littered with plastic waste. Just about everywhere the dominant colors…

Dahab, Egypt: 10 Things to Know Before You Go
Hidden away on the South Sinai coast, Dahab is the kind of place I didn’t know Egypt had. In a land where most tourists will cruise the Nile on a luxury boat (often as part of a package holiday) or stay in a commercial Red Sea resort, Dahab is the exception. It’s a chill,…

Is Egypt Really That Hard to Travel? What It’s Like in 2026
Entering the Giza archaeological zone for the first time, I’d been bracing myself for the worst. For years I’d been hearing how the world’s most famous monument is actually far from a revelatory experience — instead described time and again as an absolute nightmare gauntlet of…
