DESTINATIONS

I've visited 54 countries on six continents and written guides to many of these on this blog. Scroll down to see my full list of destination guides. I also have dozens of coffee city guides and a guide with my packing tips and my essential travel items and favourites.


Travel guides to inspire your next dream trip!


I take a two-week long-haul holiday and a number of shorter breaks and a smattering of work trips every year. I love creating detailed itineraries for each destination, filled with things to do, places to eat, drink and shop, lots of specialty coffee shops and other useful tips. From two weeks in Bali to a long weekend in Madeira, I've got you covered!

    My Favourite Travel Resources


    To help you plan your trip, these are some of my favourite tools and resources that I use regularly when booking my travels and staying connected. Some links below are affiliate links: if you click and make a purchase, I may make a small commission at no extra cost to you, helping support this blog and the content I share.

    Booking.com: My first port of call when researching and booking hotels and accommodation. They have a huge range of properties globally and many bookings include free cancellation. Their Genius program gives you extra discounts and benefits, like free upgrades and breakfast.

    Expedia: Another good site for booking a wide range of accommodation options, as well as flights and car hire.

    Agoda: Particularly good for booking accommodation in Asia.

    GetYourGuide: My favourite site for booking tours, activities and other experiences. I like being able to pay for activities by credit card and flexible cancellation if my plans change.

    Viator: Another useful site for discovering and booking tours and activities.

    Google Flights: I use Google Flights to research and plan my flights. After I've found the flights I want, I always book direct with the airline, which usually gives more protection if there's an issue.

    Airalo: I've used Airalo eSIMs across four continents since 2022! I've always had good coverage and the prices are reasonable. eSIMs are super-convenient: set up on your phone before you leave to access data on your travels. Get $3 credit with my referral code: REBECC3024

    Saily: Another affordable and easy-to-use eSIM provider. I had a great experience in Belize and it's super-convenient as you only have to install the eSIM once on your device and can then add data for whichever country you'r visiting. Get $5 credit wth my referral code: BEXEDI9260

    Nomad: When I visited Guatemala in 2025, Nomad's eSIM was the cheapest so I gave it a try and was impressed. The set-up was super-easy and I had good coverage throughout the country. Get $5 credit with my referral code:     REBEXSAXQK
