Now that I have successfully trekked both Everest Basecamp and Kilimanjaro summit, I can give my comparisons, and my opinion on which was more difficult. Spoiler alert: BOTH were difficult.

Well, maybe you do think it’s hard to get to, considering it’s perched on the side of a sheer cliff. The Travel God’s blessed me with a sunny day in winter, and no people since it was low season, so I threw...
Preface: There is A LOT that goes on during my travels that I don’t record on video, or show on social media. In fact, it usually seems like an entirely different experience from what I post, because I know I have to abide by the infamous algorithms, which is why I enjoy writing about what actually happens!

Socotra Island is an extremely remote, difficult, yet unique and beautiful destination, which many people don’t think to travel to. Therefore, there isn’t a lot of solid information or posts with travel tips to prepare you for a intense week there. The famous Dragon’s Blood Trees of Socotra that are only found on this island! I wasn’t aware of...
