As a rule, I enjoy most train journeys, even those on the London Underground. OK so I rarely travel during rush hour on the underground and so I probably haven’t experienced it at its very worst, but like I said, as a rule trains = good! So good in fact I dare say that they […]
Budget travel, its what I do. I enjoy it for the most part, the challenge of finding deals, collecting points/air miles and getting the best value for my cash monies that I can. In some senses its a game, but then on a more serious note I do need to watch just how much I […]
Barcelona isn’t an incredibly expensive city, or at least I personally didn’t find it to be during my short 3 night stay there. But if you are looking to take on this Catalonia wonder over a few nights, but whilst at the same time keeping one eye on the purse strings, there are a couple of tips/tricks/sights/service […]
This post comes to you with a massive, huge, great, enormous tip of the hat to a gent names Raffles over at www.headforpoints.com , a travel site I included in my top 10 to read in 2014. In short, Raffles and his airmiles expertise just saved me around £40.00, which is not bad for 30 […]

I’ll keep it short (ish) with this post ( ironically being shorter would mean a reduced need for this rant). This may (or may not) just be me getting a little wound up over nothing, but then again I might actually have a point. I think at least those reading this with long legs may appreciate […]

Even now, when prices to visit are cheaper than they have been in a long time, they’re still not what I and many others would consider CHEAP.

Money money money money money. Everyone is talking about it, how to save enough, how to make it using your blog, how to make it last when you’re on the road. It is said that money makes the world go round, well more accurately in the case of backpackers money makes you go around the […]
Budget snowboarding in Bansko is easily done. You just need to book everything early and separately. Its far from being the biggest ski resort in Europe, but if you’re looking for a cheap skiing or snowboarding trip within Europe, you could do a lot worse than Bansko in southwest Bulgaria.
About Bansko
As mentioned, the snowy wonderland […]
