A day trip to Prizren from Tirana.

BySarah August 15, 2025August 12, 2025

When I first visited the Balkans, I based myself in Sofia and explored nearby North Macedonia and Serbia. I really wanted to visit Kosovo, but the bus times from Skopje just didn’t work for me. So when I booked flights to Albania, I was excited to plan a visit. I settled on a day trip…

Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan Shuttle

BySarah March 7, 2025March 7, 2025

When I was looking at how to get to Sandakan, the cheapest option was flights. However, while looking at trips on the Kinabatangan River, I noticed that the tour company I was using offered a Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan bus called the West to East shuttle. This would pick me up in Kota Kinabalu and…

A day trip to the DMZ from Seoul

BySarah June 3, 2024June 3, 2024

One of the main things my sisters wanted to do in Seoul was to take a day trip to the DMZ. During our trip, the JSA area was still unavailable to visit. I personally didn’t really think the DMZ was that interesting. However, I think that’s partially because I’ve actually visited North Korea so didn’t…

A Day Trip to Niš from Sofia

BySarah January 6, 2024January 6, 2024

While in Sofia, I was looking at potential day trips to nearby countries and found a company that did day trips to Niš every Wednesday. Although there are regular buses there, I decided I’d rather take a group tour to save time. We visited three main sites on our way to the city centre, and…

A day trip to San Marino from Rimini

BySarah November 18, 2022January 6, 2024

Despite its small size, the microstate of San Marino is a fantastic place to visit! It had been on my to-visit list for years. Back in 2012, my sister and I were invited on a road trip to San Marino with some guys from our hostel. At the time, we already had tickets booked for…

A Day Trip to Monastir from Sousse

Monastir is a small located on the coast of Tunisia, only 12 miles away from Sousse. Planning a day trip to Monastir is very simple, and there are a variety of ways to get there. It’s not too expensive to get there, and a lot of the sights are concentrated in the centre. It’s very…
