Solo Travel in Europe & Beyond

Destinations

From London wanderings and Scottish escapes to Danube capitals, Mediterranean islands and Italian hill towns, this is where you’ll find every destination I’ve written about so far.

Imperial palaces, coffee house culture and winter city breaks.

Malta 🇲🇹

Golden stone cities, island viewpoints and Mediterranean light that makes everything glow.
