Where to Stay in Varenna, Lake Como: Best Hotels and Why I Love This Town (2026)
Travel Smarter and Helping you plan unforgettable trips with ease
Travel guides and Itineraries to start planning your trip
Hey, I’m Courtney,
Traveling has been my happy space especially with my day job, my escape from reality as you might say.
I'm not quite the tick of the list person but do love to visit the sights stress free, find that indulgence at a good price, and also good local food and places that not everyone has been to yet.
If you want trips that feels good while you’re there and to find a way to go on trips more often, you’re in the right place.
I create detailed and informative travel guides that will help you plan unforgettable and smarter trips without the stress.
Everything here is based on my real trips, real costs, and what was actually worth it.
From detailed Japan travel guides to curated Italy itineraries with Lake Como, and underrated UK spots like my Newcastle travel guide, everything here is designed to make planning simple, exciting, and actually enjoyable.
