Berat is very interesting town to visit, less than 3 hours south of Tirana. It’s been a UNESCO world heritage site since 2008 which has finally started to draw the tourists in. How to get from Tirana to Berat: You can take a minibus anytime...
8 BEST Places to Visit in Montenegro UPDATE MAY 2020: Montenegro is the best country to travel in the Balkans. Sure, Croatia gets all the plaudits, but tourism is like that. Crowds draw more crowds. There are so many amazing places to visit...
Another UNESCO world heritage site national park in Croatia, and along with Plitvice, one of the two highlights of my time in the country. Krka is less than 100km from Spit so a day trip is eminently doable, although the day tours run at ar...
Unfortunately most backpackers who travel in Nazareth simply see it as a one day stop, but they’re wrong, you need at least 3 days to explore the region possibly more! I used my stay at the amazing Fauzi Azar inn as a base and took public t...
I’ve heard it said that if you’ve seen one sunrise, you’ve seen ‘em all – well this morning I think I officially disagree. Using my hostel in Jerusalem as a base, I booked on a tour leaving Abraham’s hostel (about $60) early in the morning...

Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.
You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand
and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made
more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I
travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
Take ownership. Take action, and remember
"If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
