Traveling has taught me that the real journey — and the real travel tips — start where the typical travel blog ends.
Most blogs tell you where to go, what to see, what’s “a must”. But very few tell you about the little things — those details that make a difference between a stressful trip and one that flows naturally.
Like how your feet sink into the snow when you’re dragging a suitcase in Tromsø.
Or how you actually have to look for a stop called Dreggsallmenningen flybusstopp because Bergen isn’t listed directly on the bus website.
Or why you should always carry a plastic fork if you’re buying salmon from the Fish Market.
These are the real tips — the kind of advice you only learn by living it.
And that’s why I created Real Travel Tip:
✨ For myself.
Because no matter how much you think you’ll remember, the little lessons fade away unless you capture them.
✨ For my friends.
Because every time someone messages me, «Hey, you’re back from Norway — what should I know?» I want to give them something better than a rushed voice note.
✨ For anyone looking for real advice.
Because if you’re planning a trip, you deserve more than the perfect photos.
You deserve the truth: the easy parts, the tricky parts, and everything in between.
Here, you’ll find what worked, what didn’t, what I would do differently, and the practical hacks that made a real difference.
Nothing curated, nothing staged — just real travel experiences, shared honestly.
