James Away • Travel blog by James Moody

Go first. Figure it out later.

Last-minute travel, cruises, walking, history, mythology and honest notes on how I got there, what it cost, what I saw and whether it was worth it.

The idea

Not over-planned. Not over-priced. Just away.

Flights, bookings, cruise routes, transfers and the bits people usually forget to explain.

Walking, exploring, getting off the track, finding the way back and seeing what was worth it.

History, politics, Greek and Roman mythology, and fun facts that make a place more than just a photo.

Started here

Big city energy, ridiculous walking distances, and plenty to explore without over-planning.

Big buildings, heat, shopping, beaches and a completely different pace from home.

History everywhere, mythology everywhere, and one of the best places to just walk and look up.
