Europe Travel Guides: Where do you want to go?

Europe is where I've done some of my most ambitious trip-planning — and some of my most questionable weather decisions. This is the continent of my deepest content obsession (Ireland), my proudest points redemption (Norway), and my actual roots (my family's from Blackpool, and yes, I'll defend it). Whether you're planning a full Irish road trip, chasing Norwegian fjords, or just trying to figure out where to start, these Europe guides are built from actual trips, actual mistakes, and actual pints.


Ireland Travel Guides

Ireland is where I have the most to say because I love it there so much. It is one of my favorite places in the world. From road tripping to Kilarney and exploring all of Northern Ireland, my Ireland guides cover it all, with the specific, unglamorous details nobody tells you until you're already there.


Norway Travel Guides

Norway was the trip that made me a points person for LIFE — my first-ever Chase Sapphire redemption got me a hotel at the base of a fjord in Flåm. Between discovering the points and miles world and the majesty that is the Norweigian Fjords, I've never emotionally recovered. My 10-day Norway itinerary covers five stops (Oslo, Flåm, Bergen, Ålesund, Geirangerfjord), one full itinerary you can steal.


The UK Travel Guides

Here's something most travel bloggers can't say: my family is from Blackpool, England, and I've been going back almost every year of my life. So while everyone else's UK content starts with Big Ben, mine starts with a gloriously chaotic seaside town full of donkey rides, illuminations, and relatives who will absolutely comment if I get the details wrong. This section is small but MIGHTY — and growing, because as long as my family lives there, I'll keep going back (and taking notes).


Eat the World: Cooking Europe from Home

The Europe chapter of my cook-every-country challenge — including the pelmeni that started it all (well, second-ed it all). Russian dumplings, made in an American kitchen, judged harshly by everyone present.
