For years, the classic Balkan tour route was simple: hit Croatia, maybe a quick dip into Bosnia or Montenegro, then head home. Albania sat undiscovered in the middle, mostly ignored, labelled as "too obscure," and shrouded in mystery. 

That has now officially changed.

Lately, every traveller returning from Albania has the same wide-eyed look, carrying the message of “you HAVE to go”. It’s not just about the low costs either. 

Albania sits in that rare sweet spot: accessible enough to be easy, yet raw enough to feel like a genuine discovery.

Feet Do Travel explores why this rising Balkan destination is trending in our Albania travel guide.

Train travel changes how you experience a destination. Instead of dealing with airports or focusing on the road, the journey becomes part of the trip.

As you are not driving or checking directions, you can either take in the scenery or switch off completely with a book or music.

Once on board, you can settle in and simply watch the world pass by. It is an easy way to see more of a country without constantly packing and moving on. When we visited Japan, we spent hours on trains watching the landscape shift from green fields to small towns and house styles you do not really see back home.

With that in mind, Feet Do Travel shares some of the best scenic train journeys around the world to add to your list when planning your next trip.

There is nothing wrong with visiting some of the world’s most popular destinations such as France, Italy, Spain or Thailand. They sit at the top of travel wish lists for good reason. But over tourism is now a reality in many of these places, and if crowds are not your thing, the experience can leave you feeling frustrated and frazzled rather than inspired.

Some of the most rewarding trips happen in lesser visited countries which receive far less attention. Looking beyond the usual hotspots often means fewer queues, better value, and the simple pleasure of standing in front of a landmark without weaving through a wall of selfie sticks.

From the turquoise shores of the Balkans to the mountains of the Caucasus and the vast landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula, there are countries delivering dramatic scenery and depth without the noise. Feet Do Travel shares three underrated destinations that may surprise you — and deliver far more than expected.

What can I say about driving in Iceland that you probably don’t already know? I could talk about how intimidating planning a road trip here feels, but that’s true for most countries. We see amazing photos — the waterfalls, the cliffs, the endless roads, and it looks incredible, yes. But then questions start creeping in: Is it safe? What if the car breaks down? Am I really going to cope with a six-hour drive? And honestly, I get it.

That’s exactly how most of us start: by googling things like “driving the Westfjords in Iceland”, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the mixed advice. But once you get your head around it, driving the Westfjords is quite simply one of the best travel decisions you could ever make.

​Let Feet Do Travel show you the stunning country of Iceland, the Land of Fire and Ice, and how you can confidently drive the Westfjords on your own road trip.

The Camino de Santiago is one of the world’s most iconic pilgrimage routes, stretching across Spain, France and Portugal, attracting walkers, hikers and cyclists from all corners of the globe. Whether you're hearing about this historic hiking and pilgrimage trail for the first time or already familiar with its story, this journey offers a powerful blend of adventure, personal reflection, and deep-rooted tradition.

With ever-changing landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, the Camino de Santiago (or the Way of St James in English) is more than just a walk — it’s an experience that many undertake for spiritual growth, self-discovery, or simply the joy of the journey. Hikers, cyclists, tour groups and pilgrimages alike follow the path for several days leading to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwestern Spain, where it is believed the apostle’s remains are buried.

Since 2013, the Camino has attracted more than 200,000 pilgrims each year, and the northern routes in Spain were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List due to the historical significance of this area.

Feet Do Travel introduce you to this remarkable trail, and help you explore why so many people choose to walk the Camino.
