*Full transparency: this is not an ultra-budget guide. We include a range of free to paid activities in each place, a variety of restaurant options and mid-range priced accommodations (mostly Airbnbs). It's based on our own travel style which we'd consider "medium budget" - we like to save money but are also willing to splurge on certain comforts and activities. We believe there is valuable information for any type of traveller though!

Hi!
I created a detailed 12-day itinerary to discover Madeira on a budgetfriendly way.
I travelled solo to Madeira in november 2022. Since I like to take my time to see things, meet new people and adventure I focus on following things:
1) Hostels, they are the best way to meet new people.
2) I love hiking so get ready for some beautiful hiking trails and wildcamping.
3) I use public transport, since this is a lot cheaper than renting a car. I give you advice on how to get there and how long it takes.
4) Tips and tricks on what to do and what not to. I recommend places I've been to myself but also places I heard great things about but didn't visit.
5) I love taking pictures so enjoy some travel pictures I took myself :)
I discovered beautiful places and fell in love with Madeira, so I hope you do too!

I am a person that loves slow-travelling, loves eating where the locals eat and I like to think I have a good taste when it comes to food. I am also tired of all the bad touristic places that are recommend all over google and by tour guides. I often see on YouTube or TikTok tourist who come to Bucharest and are send by food guides to tourist traps where the people from Bucharest do not eat and where the ingredients are of poor quality. So I decided to present you my take on Bucharest food. Expect a lot of local ingredients, in-season ingredients, delicious dishes and amazing stories. This guide is going to be divided into Lunch/Dinner Places, Brunch Places (here I have some incredible recommendations) and Places with Romanian food (authentic restaurants that offer local and in-season ingredients). For all the places I added their instagram account as I believe this is the quickest way to see how the dished look like and to find their website for reservations.

Thank you for your interest in my Sweet Life Italy itineraries. I hope you enjoy some of my suggestions for your next trip to Italy and visit some of the off the beaten path places I adore, like the village I live in, Guardia Sanframondi. If you do, please let me know in a message and maybe a photo.
As a travel consultant, I have been organizing bespoke tours all over France and Italy since 2012. I enjoy traveling and sharing my wonderful local small/slow travel experiences with the intension of helping small family businesses recover from the past couple of difficult years. I have more itineraries to share from around the world, so be on the look out.
I envision the Next Renaissance will be in the small towns and villages in Italy, where the people have lived close to the earth for generations, cultivating a simple but beautiful way of life we can all learn from. There is a shift away from big travel business, toward slow/small travel. It is the way I like to travel.
Enjoy! Buon Viaggio!! ...and please mention my name to the locals :)

If my best friend would ask me "which island in Thailand should I visit?" I would definitely recommend Ko Tao with no doubt.
Why? It has everything you need and it has vibes that you cannot find in the famous sisters islands: Koh Phangan & Koh Samui.
It’s known for the best beaches in Thailand with crystal clear water and soft sand ideal for swimming & snorkelling.
We lived there for a month ‘cause we really wanted to feel like a local and explore most of the places.
In this guide made for slow travellers like me I’ll recommend you:
• where to stay to enjoy the best beaches
• delicious vegetarian/vegan restaurants & cafe
• sustainable survival shops & souvenirs
• how to be part of the community even if only for a short time
• and much more
I wish you to experience Thailand in the most genuine way to come back home full of life. 🫶🏻

After immersing myself in this port city on the Río de la Plata, affectionately known as "BA" by locals, I crafted this guide for a friend with food, culture, and outdoor enthusiasts in mind.
Buenos Aires is a very walkable, though sprawling, European-feeling South American city made up of many distinct neighborhoods. Among them: trendy Palermo, Parisian-like Recoleta, Spanish Plaza de Mayo, bohemian San Telmo, vibrant Boca recalls Southern Italy. Italian, Spanish, and French heritage is tasted in its love for pizza, cheese, bread, meat, wine, and coffee.
The guide includes both affordable and world-class restaurants and hotels, but mostly, find luxury in slow travel where you truly get to know the culture.
Virtual explorers and trip planners alike, explore Buenos Aires with this interactive guide. Check out what to SEE + DO, where to EAT + DRINK, places to STAY + REST, and ways to COME + GO around Argentina's largest city.
In addition to cultural immersion, this comprehensive guide provides:
1. Interactive map
2. Portable, mobile-first format
3. "Remixable" make-your-own itinerary
4. "Living" guide that receives updates
This guide is intended for you to make your own. Explore at your own pace within your available timeframe. Visit all of the sites or just those that call to you. Skip around or simply glance on the way to your next meal.
As a travel expert and creative, I built AMG Inspired to design quality architecture and support sustainable tourism, defined as “tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment.”
