From the nomadic steppes of Kazakhstan to the frenetic streets of Hanoi, Asia is a continent so full of intrigue, adventure, solace, and spirituality that it has fixated and confounded travelers for centuries.
If you have a long layover in Kuala Lumpur, consider yourself lucky! It’s an amazing city with way more to do than most people think! Recently I decided to stay in Kuala Lumpur for five days to check it out, since I normally just layover there and never leave the airport. Trust me, adjust your flight, and leave the airport! Here’s a super easy guide to plan a long...
If you haven’t heard of Batroun in Lebanon, well I cannot wait to tell you about it! I personally had no idea about it. Now here I am writing an extensive list of the best things to do in Batroun! Full disclosure, I went to Lebanon on a whim, with no plans except to hopefully relax after one of my big group trips in Egypt. So I spent more days in Batroun than...
I decided to take it upon myself to make traveling to the World’s Best Islands my “job” so I can do “market research” for you all, and report back about where to go! I also just really love islands (who doesn’t?!), especially remote ones. So now after going to over one hundred islands, I’ve created a solid guide to help with...
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...
True bucketlisters will have found this post because the Andaman Islands are high on your list, but you’re slightly confused about the best way to see them. I definitely was. Which is why I ended up booking this 6 day Andaman Islands Tour. It was the best move I could have made not knowing exactly where to go, or the tiny fact that I wouldn’t have service...
Myanmar is like a goldmine for photographers. With it’s countless pagodas, stupas, and temples, accented by the always passing red-robed monks. There’s so much to see though, and if you only have a limited amount of time, you need to do it correctly! For me, I only had an extra week in between trips, so I decided to look on TourRadar to see if any of...
There’s definitely an ongoing debate about what the best Thailand islands are for solo travelers (and travelers in general!). Not going to lie, when I first went to the southern Thailand islands four years ago, they were a lot different than they are now in 2019! For example, many of the Thailand islands tours have evolved to using speedboats that take more...
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...
Taipei is an amazing city that reminds me of a mini-version of Tokyo, but I knew there was much more to see in Taiwan than its capital city. I also knew that since it’s an island, there had to be some nature to see instead of just buildings! So I did some research, and found a private tour that would take me up to the Northern Coast of Taiwan where there’s tons of...
Taipei had been on my “To-Go List” for a really long time, and I’m so glad I finally went! I’d heard nothing but great things from people, between the amazing food at the night markets, to the unique cultural towns on the outskirts! I only had a couple of days in Taipei because I was squeezing it in before heading back to the US from the Philippines (slight detour)...
