Whether you are going on a solo travel, cruise, backpacking trip, island getaway, weekend escapes in the UK, round-the-world trip, or family vacation or wondering if you can actually drink the tap water in Indonesia (spoiler: don’t risk it), I’ve got you covered with my travel destinations guide on WhatupCourtney.
I want these guides to feel like getting tips from a friend who genuinely wants your trip to go smoothly.
I’ve been lucky enough to explore some incredible travel destinations around the world, from bustling cities in Asia to charming European towns, and of course, hidden gems right here in the UK.
But this isn’t your typical “Instagram vs. Reality” travel guide. Every travel destinations guide you’ll find here comes from real experience: where I’ve walked until my feet hurt, eaten until I couldn’t move, gotten lost in translation, and discovered the kind of places that don’t make it onto generic “Top 10” lists.
No matter where you’re heading next, I hope these guides help you feel a bit more prepared and a lot more excited. Let’s plan something amazing.
