A little glimpse of Bulgaria through the eyes of someone who calls it home. 😍
That’s our Radina, and next year, our Explorers will get to experience the Rose Valley with her.
It doesn’t get much more local than this. 🌹🇧🇬
I’ve been looking through the photos from our Explorers currently on the Budapest to Istanbul adventure, and one thing really stood out to me… the architecture! 😍
It’s just incredible. And I’m not sure everyone realises how much beautiful and unusual architecture there is in this part of the world. That Romanian tiled house is just something else, right?
Wow!

In 2015, Di set off on a two-month solo rail adventure around Europe.
“The more I saw, the more I wanted to see.”
More than 10 years later, that clearly hasn’t changed. 🥰

That Matterhorn lunch spot deserves a moment of its own. 😍
Some of our Swiss Alps Explorers are already back home, and we've been having a very good scroll through their photos.
There were a LOT of trains (as there should be in Switzerland), cheese and cured meats along the way, and wine among the Lavaux vineyards. Not a bad way to spend two weeks, really.
There was even a little hop over to Italy along the way to make some risotto, before heading back into Switzerland for more trains, mountains and very, very good views.
It looks like Switzerland treated this bunch pretty well. 💙
Which of these locals would you stop to say hello to? 🐾🐍🐿
Meet our very first Explorer of the Month! 💙
If you've travelled with Kay, you'll already know why we picked her.
If you haven't, now's your chance to get to know her. Head over to our website and read our interview with one of the loveliest people in our Explorer community.
It's full of lovely stories, travel memories and little nuggets of wisdom.
As a little thank you, we've sent Kay a small gift, and every future Explorer of the Month will receive one too. 🎁
P.S. If there's someone in our Explorer community you'd love to nominate for a future Explorer of the Month, tag them in the comments or send us a DM. We'd love to hear about them. 😊
