Ghana is an incredible country filled with friendly people and plenty to explore.
While 10 days is a bit of a whirlwind, it’s enough time to get a solid taste of Ghana—culture, history, nature, and a bit of adventure all wrapped up between Accra and Cape Coast. I’ve designed this itinerary to strike the right balance between activities and downtime, so you can get the most out of your trip without feeling totally wiped out by the end.
I’ve also organized each day’s activities in a way that makes the most sense for efficiency (and to avoid too much time stuck in Accra’s traffic). Trust me, a little strategic planning goes a long way here.
I don’t recommend a lot of specific restaurants unless they’re near the stops and I can vouch for them. Ghana has plenty of hidden gems when it comes to casual dining, so it’s best to go with the flow and choose a spot close by when you get hungry. Just don’t wait until you’re starving—food prep in Ghana can take a bit of time. That said, street food and chop bars (local eateries with ready-made dishes) are great, fast options when you’re on the go.
There are certain activities where you'll need to hire a driver. I can easily recommend Junior. He knows everywhere and everyone and he's a great driver. His specialty is Cape Coast, but he's very well-versed in Accra, too. Just call or WhatsApp him to make arrangements: +233 024 473 6171.
If Junior isn't available, just ask at your hotel or hit up a Bolt driver that you like and think will give you a fair price, (always negotiate first).
Two apps you’ll want to download for your trip
Bolt - It’s like Uber, but local, and it works in both Accra and Cape Coast.
Pro Tip: Always opt to pay in cash when using Bolt. Trust me on this – drivers are much more motivated to show up when they know there’s cash waiting at the end of the ride!
Glovo – Food delivery in Accra. If your hotel doesn’t have a restaurant and you just don’t feel like going out, this is a good way to get fed. It can be slow, though, so order early.

When you head north from Reykjavík, it doesn't take long to leave the Capital Region and enter West Iceland. The city immediately feels very far away. This area is home to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Snæfellsjökull National Park. It's filled with sleeping volcanoes, receding glaciers, thundering waterfalls, lupine-covered valleys, small fishing villages, black churches, and isolated lighthouses. There's a lot to see within relatively short driving distances. It's a good place to start your real Icelandic adventure.
This detailed guide includes:
Places: cities, peninsulas, towns
Stay: hotels
Eat: cafés, coffee shops, food trucks
Do: beaches, bridges, churches, fjords, horseback riding, lagoons, lighthouses, national parks, natural wonders, rocks, sculptures, shipwrecks, viewpoints, waterfalls
Transportation: ferries

From the time I fell in love with the Beach Boys music, I have been an ocean loving girl. I longed to go to the California coast and live the life, surfing, and lying on the beach all day. But growing up in the Southern part of the United States that never was to be. I never lost either my love of the beach/ocean or my desire to see the California coast, but it was a long, LONG time before I could make that dream come true. But finally I did, and believe me, it was all I hoped and imagined it would be.
I traveled the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Pismo Beach exploring every little place that looked fun, interesting or just spectacularly scenic. As you can imagine--I stopped a LOT. In this guide I will share with you all of the wonderful places I discovered. You too can live the dream. I also include many of the photos I took at each place.

My guide to backpacking Central America is finally here! This guide is based on hundreds of hours of research, my own 4 month long trip, and some extras that I wasn't able to get to but would still highly recommend based on reviews from trusted friends! This guide serves as an essential list of the best attractions in each country and what not to miss! The route in the guide is laid out North to South, starting in Belize and ending in Panama, but it can also be used in reverse.
The guide includes information for how to get between locations; however not in great detail as the schedules and prices change frequently and let's be honest, the busses are never on time in Central America! The best way to get between places depends on your timeline and budget of your trip: if you have months to explore, take the local "chicken busses" for a more affordable and immersive experience; if you only have weeks, take the more direct shuttles; and if you're tight on time, take the more direct and upscale coaches. Whichever option you choose, the locals are always willing to help with chicken busses, and shuttle busses and coaches are very easy to book throughout Central America at your hostel, any tour operator, or online.
Where possible, I included accommodation recommendations for places that I personally stayed at and can vouch for, or know someone who did. In addition, there are links for booking hostels in each region!
I hope this guide provides some help and inspiration to backpack Central America, it's one of my absolute favourite places on Earth!

This guide is for both Islands in New Zealand (the north and the south) for first time visitors who are taking their camper van throughout the islands with a few days in Auckland and Queenstown. It's a three week itinerary and includes the arrival and departure flight days (and has some suggestions for these days as well).
It will go through (in detail!) every location we visited, the activities we did, the sites we camped up at, the restaurants we ate at (in between our camper van meals), what we learned about New Zealand and the camper van life whilst we were there, and other suggestions of what to do in the areas so you can alter your plans to fit what you want.
Note that this itinerary includes two different camper van rental locations on each island, and flying between the two islands. But you could easily do the majority of this itinerary and just switch up a few days to drive between the two islands! This itinerary does have a decent amount of driving but its because we really wanted to PACK our itinerary to see as much of New Zealand and it's beautiful scenery whilst we were here.
The main locations touched on are listed here (and we highly recommend all of them):
-> Auckland (& Waiheke Island)
-> West Coast North Island (Black Sand Beaches / Mt Taranaki)
-> Tongariro Alpine Crossing
-> Coromandel Peninsula
-> Queenstown
-> Milford Sound
-> Wanaka (& Roys Peak)
-> Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park
-> Dunedin
-> The Catlins
If you're looking for a detailed guide that outlines your plan for each and every day, look no further!
