When I first decided to go to Norway on my own, one of the main things I knew I wanted to see was the Northern Lights, I just wasn’t exactly sure where you see them. For someone who doesn’t know any better, like me, I thought you could pretty much just see them anywhere in Norway, but obviously that is not the case. I literally did a search for...
Svalbard is an arctic archipelago next to the North Pole that has really weird policies; for starters, it has the World Seed Vault, and people walk around with rifles.
Usually if you want to see a specific landmark or sight, you can just go there and see it, right? Well that’s not exactly the case if you want to see the Northern Lights.

“We will hopefully get to see the Northern Lights,” The amount of times that Thomas, my tour guide and owner of the tour company that I used, Chasing Lights, emphasized the word “hopefully” was almost enough to make me worry.

One thing I’ve learned from traveling is that you can research the shit out of a place for days, but there’s a good chance you’ll only find the typical, “tourist things to do” in the most popular places. Well, I don’t really like ” typical tourist things to do”, and I don’t think you do either. So that’s why...
Not gunna lie, I had no idea that there was something called the Death Road in Bolivia, but after I heard more about it, I knew it was definitely something that I couldn’t miss. The main reason why I wanted to go to Bolivia was to see the Uyuni Salt Flats, but since I had an extra day in La Paz, one of the highest altitude capital cities in the world, I...
