  The first place I went to in Mexico outside of Mexico city was Puebla in the neighbouring state, it takes 2 hours to get here by bus from Mexico City and it is most certainly worth visiting. I spent a weekend there and I felt like I got a good impression of the city. Unlike Mexico City, it feels a lot more chilled out and walkable. It feels like a very safe place as well as I did not feel threatened at all and I stayed in an Airbnb with my friends which was a 15 minute walk from from the centre. When we arrived we had some lunch and were able to try some incredible enchiladas.  Enchiladas What I like about Puebla is that it feels very authentic, it does not feel too touristy, my friends and I were one of the very few foreign tourists we could see. The streets around the centre of the city have a much more classic style and during our time there, we came across a huge market in the street which I found fascinating. There, I saw literally everything being, such as old toy cars...

  Zocalo For the almost 5 months, I have been living in Mexico's capital as an exchange student at the university of La Salle, this post is going to cover my experience of travelling to Mexico for the first time and the very best of what you should see as a tourist. First of all, Mexico City is enormous with a total population doubling Scotland's. Mexico City has a lot to other and I have a lot to talk about so I may make other posts about Mexico.  It all started with a cold Monday January morning, I had everything packed in two bags and my dad drove me to the airport. After a layover in Amsterdam I had to endure a 10 hour flight and once I arrived I got through immigration and customs within 20 minutes. I didn't think through how I would get to my accommodation, little did I know that getting a taxi only costs a tenner and can be organised quickly. I took the metro which was not the best idea at night, what you must now about the metro is that in order to use it, you have ...

  After a fantastic week in Bosnia, I spent the next 10 days of my trip in Croatia, in this post, I will be talking about Split, Zadar, Rijeka, Pula and Zagreb. I will tell you that Croatia has some incredible places, however at the same time, it is not a cheap destination and there are some things you must know before going.  Split My journey to Split started with waking up in Sarajevo at 4AM to get my bus at 6AM and on the bus I felt half asleep and I felt like the bus stopped 50 times. Once I got to the Croatian border, the customs officers didn't even check my bag despite me thinking I look suspicious. After a few hours I arrived in Split and I have to say that it is heavily overrated. The main thing to see in the city is the Diocletian's palace, however in my opinion it is not that special, Split in general feels overrun with tourists and it is not much to see within the city there is also a nice park called Šuma Marjan which you can walk up to and get some seaside views ...

  "Never forgive, never forget" Bosnia is a country that most people I know wouldn't think to visit, this is unfortunate because my experience there was fantastic. The country is healing from a horrific war that took place only just 5 years before I was born. It needs to be explained that this country is called Bosnia and Herzegovina because the area in the south is known as Herzegovina. It has populations of predominantly Muslim Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs who mostly live in the Republica Srpska. The triangle on the flag represents the three ethnic groups which inhabit the country, anyway let me tell you why it's one of my favourite countries in Europe.  Mostar My time in Bosnia started waking up hungover having to walk to the Dubrovnik bus station, the bus took a few hours and there's a part of Bosnia which is coastal called Neum which we crossed through and then I had my passport checked at the next border. I also had to show my vaccine paper to a border guard i...
