“Not every trip fits a category. Some of the best ones don’t.”
Caribbean and Tropical are where I know the industry inside out. But I travel far beyond those two areas too — and when a trip’s worth writing about honestly, it goes here.
This is everywhere else: Montenegro’s fjord-like bays, the volcanic quiet of the Azores, the Balkans’ underrated coastline. No single theme ties these together except one thing — I was actually there, and the advice reflects it. Real itineraries, real costs, real logistics, not a guide stitched together from other people’s blog posts.
If you’re planning a trip to somewhere that doesn’t fit neatly into “beach holiday” or “island escape,” this is where you’ll find something useful.
