The Algarve has become a popular holiday destination for families to retreat to in the spring and summer time. But over the past few years it has also become more and more popular with younger people to explore the area. The easiest way to see all the Algarve is by renting a car and heading up and down the coast. There are a few places where you can start your road trip from depending on where you are arriving from. If you are flying into the Algarve, you will most likely start in the capital of the region Faro. If you are driving from Lisbon, I’d recommend starting in Sagres.
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. In recent years the city has become very well known for digital nomads to retreat to for a couple of days or even a longer period of time. If you want to visit this sunny city for a short vacation or city trip, here’s how you should spend your time in Lisbon. Day 1: Explore the main sights of Lisbon. Day 2: Belém and LX Factory.

When you think about the Netherlands your first thoughts will go to tulips, clogs and of course: Windmills. If there is one place that you need to go to visit the traditional windmills of the Netherlands, it’s the town of Kinderdijk. This town is the home of a unesco world heritage site where 19 traditional windmills are displayed for the public. It’s an absolute must visit if you are going to the Netherlands.
If you want to explore the Tulip Fields in the Netherlands, you have to rent a bike in order to get the full experience and see the area. There are many fields which are difficult, if not impossible to reach by car. Hence why renting a bike could be a great solution to this. In this post you will find a 35KM long bike ride across the Tulip Fields near Lisse and Noordwijkerhout in the province of South Holland.
During the months of April and May, the region of South Holland, and many other areas in The Netherlands turn into one colorful field of flowers. Many people will think of Tulips when they think of the Netherlands, and whilst most flower fields are indeed Tulips, there are also some other flowers blooming during this time of year. If you are looking for a fun weekend break or sunny sunday activity, visiting the tulips is a great option.
More and more people are enjoying traveling by train in Europe. Not only is it a more ecological way of transport, it also doesn’t require additional fees for luggage, gives you the best views along the way and also gives you room to breath, walk around & relax.

If you plan on visiting Europe for the first time, or are just looking to add some unique experiences to your bucket list, this is the perfect post for you. These 20 experiences are must do activities when visiting Europe (as a first timer). Since Europe is huge, there are adventures from a lot of different countries and spread out all over the continent. From the super basic things like seeing the Eiffel tower at night to undiscovered gems in the mountains of Bulgaria.
Switzerland is one of the most expensive country in Europe and really, in the whole world. This makes it so that accommodation, food and other expenses are much higher than elsewhere. However, there are options to make it a bit cheaper, such as staying in hostels & cooking your own meals. Another great aspect is that Switzerland is known for their hikes and nature, which is often a free activity.
If you are looking at fun day trips when you are visiting the Netherlands or Belgium, you might want to look at visiting Eindhoven. This city is located in North-Brabant and is known as the design capital of the Netherlands. It has a lot of quirky buildings, amazing food (lots of vegan options too!!) and so much more to offer. The city is not that large and is the perfect spot for a day trip. It is easily accessible coming from larger cities such as Antwerp, Rotterdam or Amsterdam.
Córdoba is one of the many beautiful cities in Andalusia Spain. It is not one of the biggest, hence why it can be done in just one day. If you are traveling to Seville or Granada, it is the perfect day trip to do. The unique thing about Córdoba is that it has a lot of Moorish (Arabic) influence combined with a lot of Roman aspects mixed in. It is mostly known for its Mesquita, however, there is a lot more to see in this city.
The Pueblos Blancos are a must see when visiting the region of Andalusia in Spain. Located on the rolling hills of the Sierra de Grazalema these white villages are a beautiful sight. The villages all look quite similar, however, some do stand out over others due to its surroundings, the quaint narrow streets, lookouts, churches or rock formations.
I just recently spend a whole month exploring Andalusia, and in particular Seville. One of my favorite things to do was going out with friends & eating delicious foods. To be honest, I did not do a whole lot of cooking whilst I was in Seville. I was told in advance that the food was cheap & to my surprise, it actually was!! We ate some of the most amazing foods the region had to offer, and always paid under 10EUR for the food. It was really difficult to spend more than that. This is a full in depth guide of all the restaurants and bars to try when visiting Seville, Spain.
AFRICA
If you are planning a trip to South Africa, chances are high your trip will start in Cape Town. Cape Town is one of the 3 capital cities in South Africa and has many international flights arriving at the CPT airport. If you are planning to travel around on a tour departing from Cape Town, make sure to leave some extra time on your hands so you can go and visit a bit more of what the city has to offer. From beautiful beaches to a magnificent mountain range, and colorful houses, this place has something for everyone.
When you first think of South Africa you might think of safaris, nature, or even the big cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg. But what is often overlooked is the rich wine culture that the country has. Most vineyards are located in the Western Cape and Northern Cape of South Africa. Although the region is stretched along the Orange River and Breed Valley.
Having the opportunity to see wild life in their natural habitat, with no enclosures and no fences is absolutely incredible.

These countries are known to have some of the most dense wild life and spotting the big 5 is the easiest around these areas.
Tanzania is known to be the most populated area for wildlife. And the national parks stretch over the whole country. It is one of the best places in Africa to go look for the Big 5. Also the Serengeti is worldly known for its wildlife and is a must to visit at least once in your life.
