Before I even landed in Spain, the Caminito del Rey was already locked into my bucket list. I’d seen the photos... narrow walkways hugging towering cliffs, the river below, and views that felt almost unreal.

What I didn’t realise at the time was how misunderstood this hike actually is. Despite its dramatic reputation (and its past as one of the world’s most dangerous walks), the Caminito del Rey today is surprisingly accessible, and absolutely unforgettable if you know how to do it right.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really like to hike the Caminito del Rey, what surprised me most, and the practical tips I wish I’d known before stepping onto that cliffside path.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• What the Caminito del Rey actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Where it’s located and how to visit it as a day trip
• How long the hike really takes and how challenging it feels
• What to expect on the trail, from safety briefings to no-stop zones
• The pros and cons of guided tours vs doing it yourself
• Practical tips to enjoy the views properly

There’s a moment that happens every time I arrive at an off-grid tiny house. My phone loses signal, the noise drops away, and finally I feel like I can breathe again.

Over the years, my yearly off-grid tiny house stay has become a ritual... not just a getaway, but a full reset. It’s the kind of travel experience that doesn’t just give you memories, but actually changes how you feel when you come home.

In this episode of Tourist to Traveller, I’m sharing why I believe everyone should experience an off-grid tiny house stay at least once a year, and exactly how to plan one so it feels restorative, not intimidating.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why off-grid stays offer a deeper reset than traditional holidays
• What a tiny house stay actually includes (and what it doesn’t)
• How unplugging impacts your nervous system and creativity
• What to pack, and what to leave behind
• Easy, comforting food ideas for tiny house living
• Where to find great off-grid tiny house stays in Australia and beyond

Marrakech is one of those cities that pulls you in fast... the colour, sound, movement, magic. It’s exciting, intoxicating… and for many travellers, completely overwhelming.

The truth is, you can’t truly “do” Marrakech in a day. But if 24 hours is all you’ve got, you can experience something real... the rhythm of the medina, the calm behind carved wooden doors, and the quiet moments that live between the chaos.

In this episode, I’m sharing a relaxed, experience-first guide to spending one magical day in Marrakech. It’s designed for time-poor travellers who want depth over checklists... without feeling rushed, stressed, or like they’ve missed the point of the Red City.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to experience Marrakech in one day without burning out
• Why starting early (and slow) changes everything in the medina
• The best way to balance iconic sights with quiet, grounding moments
• How riads, rooftops, and hammams shape a more meaningful experience
• Where to pause, reset, and soak up the soul of the city
