Get in touch

Corrections, recommendations, questions about a trip you are planning, or a photograph of somewhere I should add — all welcome.

The fastest way to reach me is the form below, but there is no obligation to use it. If you would rather write from your own email account, my address is ana113@shsu.edu and it goes straight to me. Either route ends up in the same inbox, so pick whichever is less friction for you.

The messages I find most useful are corrections. This site is written by one student, not a research desk, and travel information goes out of date quietly — a museum changes its closing day, a booking system moves, a price stops being realistic. If you have been somewhere recently and something here does not match what you found, please tell me. I would rather fix it than leave it wrong for the next person reading.

Recommendations are the other thing worth sending. There are three countries covered here and an enormous amount left out of each one. If there is a town, a walk, a market or a meal that you think belongs on this site, send it with a sentence about why it is worth the detour. I read everything, and I will reply to anything that needs a reply.

One honest note about timing: I am a full-time student, so replies come in evenings and at weekends rather than within the hour. If something is urgent, say so in the subject line and I will move it up the pile.

So I know where to send the reply. It is not shared with anyone.

At least a sentence or two, please — ten characters minimum.

Before you write

Two things I cannot help with

I cannot book anything for you, and I cannot give visa or entry advice. Entry requirements depend on your nationality, change without much warning, and getting them wrong is expensive — so the only sensible source is your own government’s travel advice page together with the official tourism board for the country you are visiting. There are links to all three boards in the footer of every page on this site.

I also cannot promise the cost estimates on the Destinations page will match what you are quoted. They are planning figures built from published travel-cost guides, and they are there to tell you roughly what order of magnitude to expect rather than what any specific week will cost. Season, timing and how far ahead you book move real prices a long way in both directions.

Everything else — where to start, what to skip, how long is long enough, whether two of these countries fit into one trip — is exactly what I like being asked.
