Many of the “dangerous” stereotypes of Papua New Guinea are around the tribes being violent, “eating people”, etc. But I felt completely safe!

Raise your hand if you want to know how to avoid Airbnb’s high fees! Seriously though, how much does it suck when you think you’ve found a great deal, then when you go to book, Airbnb adds on a couple hundred dollars in fees? No bueno.

It took me five years of traveling and working non-stop, plus a traumatic bus accident, scuba diving incident, and way too many earthquakes all at once to realize it in the worst way possible; my first panic attack from anxiety abroad. I was going to say “it came out of...
I like to think of myself as a rooftop connoisseur, and without a doubt, the rooftops in Cartagena met my high standards! In fact, I didn’t even know Cartagena had so many amazing rooftops! My main vision was that it was the colorful, whimsical buildings that stunned visitors. But seeing them from above, especially poolside and with a cocktail in hand brings it...
As incredible as traveling is, organizing a trip in a foreign country can be daunting. Especially if you’re aiming to be sustainable and book local tours!
