Detailed Travel Guides to Northern Europe and Beyond

Hi, I’m Danny. On this blog, I write about all of my favorite places to visit. Most of my guides are about Northern Europe, which is where I live (hence the blog name)… but I’ve also been lucky enough to visit 30 countries. I’m currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and am originally from the UK. I’m of Italian/American descent, and also lived in Sweden for a while.

Rather than one-and-done trips, I value depth and only write about places I’ve either been to at least 3 times or plan to revisit on several occasions. I also like to create super-detailed guides, based on my own real-life experiences, with original photography. 

I like to travel in multiple ways, and this website is a reflection of that. Instead of obsessing over traffic metrics, keywords, and algorithms, my aim with these guides is to give you all the details you need to plan an amazing trip and make lifelong memories. 🙂

A Bit More About Me…

I’ve been exploring Europe more deeply since 2016, especially the Nordics. Before that, I had already visited the US annually throughout my life—which I still continue to do—and been to the likes of France, Spain, and Italy numerous times.

I write every word on this blog, and I only cover destinations that I’m actually passionate about. I sometimes like to visit cities and other times like to go hiking, and yes, I sometimes want to see popular sights just as much as I enjoy finding places off the beaten path. I also mostly cover cold-weather destinations and prefer to travel in the off-season as I dislike hot weather. 🙂

Regardless, I’m always honest and will say when I think something is or isn’t worth visiting (and why). I designed the guides on this site to be useful throughout the planning process for your trip, so feel free to bookmark them in your browser if you find them helpful.
