I travelled through Albania solo in August 2026 via public transport.

I had only been to Greece one, ten years ago to Santorini, and for some reason it had eluded me since.

I will admit that I had not heard of Lake Iseo but am very happy to have discovered this beautiful place thanks to the popular One Girl One Rucksack One World travel page on Facebook. 

Bergamo airport is known as Milan Bergamo which is misleading on two counts.

Tarifa almost doesn’t even look like Spain. The typical terrain of miles and miles of olive trees and sun-scorched land that you see along the motorways or the slightly pebbly beaches of the Costa del Sol just don’t bare even a slight similarity to what is to be discovered in Tarifa.
