BACHELOR OF TRAVEL

Hiya!

My name is Rania and I’m the writer and creator of this website.

I’ve been running away on adventures and tracking where I go (and what I spend) for over a decade, and somewhere along the way, that turned into building detailed, experience-based travel guides with strong opinions (ha!).

I’ve visited about 40 (countries), lived in 6 but most importantly I keep going back to places, exploring them thoroughly rather than rushing through. My full time gig is.. writing, websites or tourism adjacent projects so it all comes together. 

I also pay for 99.97% of what you see written or recommended on this website and spend a LOT on activities. Diving, walking tours, cooking classes or anything random… because that’s where I think places come to life. 

If you’re after practical info, budget tips or best activities to splurge on, I can help.

This section brings together the practical things I now think about before a trip — packing, connectivity, transport, and research. Not because travel needs to be overplanned, but because a bit of preparation frees up headspace once you’re there.
