Favourite time of year to visit Mostar
"Sept/Oct - this is outside of the main tourist season and the surrounding mountains are golden with autumn colours. The Neretva River is so turquoise during this time of year!"
What do you love most about Mostar?
"Wandering through the Old Ottoman era cobbled alleyways & getting lost amongst all the Mosques, craftsman's workshops & bazaars. Make sure you walk over the wonderful Stari Most bridge!"
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Must pack items for Mostar
"A good pair of walking boots or trainers for the cobbled streets and of course an umbrella - this is the Balkans!"
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"If you have time, combine a visit to Mostar with a day trip to Dubrovnik in Croatia. You won't be disappointed by this beautiful old town on the Adriatic Sea."

Uzbekistan
Travel Blogger: zoegoesplaces
Benefits of a tour guide for Uzbekistan
"The language barrier is tough and a guide is almost essential at times. Most people only speak Russian or Uzbek and both use the Cyrillic alphabet."
@zoegoesplaces's Top Tips
"Travel by train. It's quick, cheap and easy. Plus, first class is especially affordable here. "
Must pack items for Uzbekistan
"Conservative dress is respectful to the local cultures, make sure you cover your shoulders and down to your knees. "

What do you love most about Uzbekistan?
"Uzbekistan is such an underrated country. There's so much to see and do, it's like nowhere else in the world."

Why should you visit Fez?
"Fez is a little less popular than Marrakesh or Chefchaouen, but it shouldn't be! There's lots of culture, great food and things to do!"
What do you love most about Fes?
"Exploring the old Medina!"
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Benefits of a tour guide for Fes
"A tour guide is a must! Fez is an absolute maze, and the old city has poor WiFi. Additionally, a tour guide can help to reduce the number of locals trying to hawk their goods to you (there's a lot!)"
Don't miss...
"Visit the Tannery in Fez. This is a still-working leather Tannery showing the process that the locals have used for many years."

Must pack items for Brussels

We are a young couple from Italy and our greatest passion is visiting new places, meeting new people, learning about other cultures. We travel as much as we can to capture and share beautiful moments.
What locations would you recommend for viewing the northern lights?
"Iceland is good for its wide open sky spaces, as well as Svalbard. Being in far north latitudes, the nights are longer and the light pollution is much less (you can see it within town!)."
What's the best time of year to see the northern lights?
"Spring and autumn. The weather is more stable (clouds are your biggest foe!) and there is generally more solar activity during the equinoxes."
What are your top tips for photographing the northern lights?
"A tripod or something sturdy to prop your camera is a must. It also helps to have a subject in the foreground, which shows the true scale of the aurora."
What do you love most about Northern lights?
"Photos do not do justice to seeing the northern lights. The scale and beauty of it has to be seen to be fully appreciated!"

Favourite time of year to visit Monte Carlo
"Shoulder season is the best time to travel! Right before or right after summer. It’s a tad bit cheaper and not nearly as busy. Also, you’ll still catch some of the world’s largest yachts!"
