Inspiring you to travel and live adventurously
For the longest time, when people think of a tourist bucket list destination, Djibouti rarely ever comes top of mind. But over the past several years, Djibouti has emerged as one of the top tourist destinations. Unfortunately, not many people even know where this hidden gem is located. Djibouti: First Impressions Or even that it…
I love to visit places I haven’t visited before. But once in a while, I go back to a place I have been either because I really liked it the first time, or there have been some really significant changes since the last time I was there. Case in point is Cuba. A country that…
Booking.com Though I’ve only visited once, I decided to list some of the best things to do in Bucharest because I have a proper soft spot for this city and for a lot of reasons. But what I feel makes this Eastern European city truly incredible are the hidden gems, architectural marvels, and quirky past of…
