Porto or Lisbon: An Honest Comparison for Travellers Planning a Long Stay

February 28, 2026 by Joao FerreiraLeave a Comment

The Porto-versus-Lisbon debate has been running for as long as budget airlines have served both cities. For a weekend trip, the answer barely matters - both are excellent and you should visit both. But for travellers planning a month or longer, the differences between Portugal's two major cities start to matter in ways that no weekend can reveal. I have spent extended time in both. Here is what I have learned about living in each, rather than … [Read more...]

Sleeper Buses Around the World: Taking the Overnight Bus on Every Continent

February 15, 2026 by Isabella ParkinLeave a Comment

I've spent a fair few nights on sleeper buses around the world at this point, and honestly? The experience is wildly different depending on where you are. I've taken overnight buses in Turkey, Western Europe, Thailand, Vietnam, all over South America, Mexico, and even the UK, and each region has its own quirks, comfort rating, and chaos level.

48 Hours in Oslo, Norway: The Perfect Weekend Itinerary

February 10, 2026 by Ron ClarkLeave a Comment

Oslo in winter doesn’t try to impress with postcard-blue skies. It seduces with low grey light, the smell of woodsmoke drifting over the fjord, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the city was built for this season, not in spite of it.  Two days is barely enough to scratch the surface, yet it’s perfect for feeling the vibe, and slipping into the rhythm of a place that treats darkness like an old friend. I have escaped to Norway twice, … [Read more...]

Beyond the glossy postcards and social media hotspots, there is another world of coastlines that remain quiet, surprising, and deeply authentic. According to the World Tourism Organization, over 70% of international … [Read more...]

The Best Gaming Halls in the World to Visit

January 30, 2026 by Una KenshoLeave a Comment

Even if you're not a serious gambler, casinos have a way of making an impression. Sometimes it’s the actual building. In some cases it’s the people. Other times it’s just the feeling that you’ve stepped into a different world for a couple of hours. Around the world, a handful of gaming halls have become places you visit as much for the atmosphere as for the games. Some are dripping in history. Others are shiny, oversized, and modern. The best … [Read more...]
