Africa… There’s nowhere like it on the planet for wildlife, wild lands and rich traditions that endure. Prepare to fall in love.
I decided to take it upon myself to make traveling to the World’s Best Islands my bucketlist goal in 2019! It was mostly because I love islands (who doesn’t?!). But also to provide a solid guide to help with your future vacation or adventure planning! I’ve now been to over 50 islands, and can definitely say which are the world’s best islands...
Spending vacation days chilling in swimming pools is a great way to relax and unwind. But as every traveler knows, the best swimming pools are the ones created by Mother Nature herself! After all, no man made structure could ever beat the incredible beauty of natural pools. Especially not the ones we’re talking about here. We’ve rounded up 13 stunning...
You see so many incredible sights while traveling, but there’s something especially breathtaking about seeing or experiencing natural phenomenons. Don’t get us wrong, there’s no denying how amazing man-made sights like the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Giza are. Because they are incredible sights that everybody needs to experience. But...
Yup. That definitely looks like a butt! You may be wondering why I’ve dedicated an entire post to explaining the Seychelles “Butt Nut” (AKA the Coco de Mer) but I really couldn’t help it. I’m absolutely fascinated with these giant coconuts that only grow in the Seychelles and look like human genitalia! I even bought one for $360! Before...
You’re welcome in advance for this Seychelles travel guide! I’s everything I WISH I could have read and known before I went! If I knew what I’m about to tell you, I would have spent more days on La Digue for sure. I also would have planned my activity logistics better! I spent way more time on the main island of Mahé, and also driving around it than...
Between Botswana ending its five-year ban on elephant hunting and giraffes being considered for the endangered species list, there’s good reason to be concerned about wildlife conservation in the face of climate change, poaching and overpopulation. Yet there are conservation success stories to tout, too – and eco-conscious wildlife tourism certainly plays a part...
Mauritius is a beautiful island off the east coast of southern Africa that definitely needs to be on your bucketlist! I chose to visit it as part of my 2019 bucketlist quest to see the World’s best, and wasn’t disappointed! The scenery is similar to a mini-Hawaii, with lush mountains and a few waterfalls, plus endless clear blue beaches.The people are friendly...
Madagascar Day 6: Leaving Mikea and Learning More About Sapphire Sales Mikea Lodge, Madagascar Our stay in Mikea was short but oh so sweet! To be completely honest, I didn’t sleep much because my lucid dreaming was out of control due to the constant stimuli inside the tent, but the daytime experiences were worth it. (That was random of me to say but it means...
Before I start with my recap of our fourth and fifth day in Madagascar, I just want to say that I know my writing formatting is way off on these posts. I never write this long of titles or sentences (at least try not to), so apologies if the content has been somewhat hard to read! Moving right along! Here’s the main highlight days of the tour that Wau...
We woke up in Ambalavao, Madagascar at 6am to stunning views of textured mountains aglow with golden light from the rising sun. It was like getting presents on Christmas morning since we couldn’t see what was around us when we arrived at night! After a quick but delicious continental breakfast at the lodge complete with Citronelle tea, we set off for another 10 hour...
