Maine I’d been told Maine was beautiful, but nothing prepared me for how good the Atlantic air feels the moment you arrive. Pine forests, rocky coves, lighthouses perched on cliffs; it all looks like a postcard brought to life. For a quick weekend getaway, Maine is unbeatable. Here’s how my two-and-a-half days turned into one of my favorite short trips in the USA. Friday Evening: Exploring Portland’s Old Port & My First Lobster Roll Lobsters I checked into Portland just as th

Réunion Island  was going to surprise me. What I didn’t expect was just how dramatic, diverse, and downright addictive this French-African island would be.Here ’s how my 7 days unfolded, an unforgettable mix of volcano hikes, Creole flavors, and moments where nature truly humbles you. Day 1 — Arrival & My First Glimpse of the Lagoon I arrived in Saint-Denis  early in the morning, grabbed my car rental, and drove straight toward the island’s sunny west coast. The closer I got

Paris has a reputation for romance, art, and baguettes and also for being expensive . But I proved that you don’t need a fat travel budget to soak up la Ville Lumière. Over 7 days, I kept costs low by embracing simple pleasures, using savvy travel hacks, and approaching Paris the way locals do. Here’s how I did it and how you can too. 🚆 Getting Around Without Breaking the Bank Paris By far my best money-saving move was mastering the city’s public transport. Paris’ Metro and

Spending a full month in Bangkok gave me the freedom to experience the city slowly, to wander its hidden corners, savor street food at my own pace, and fall into a rhythm that only long-term travelers truly get to enjoy. Bangkok is a city of contrasts: ancient temples rising next to glittering malls, quiet parks tucked behind chaotic traffic, and street vendors sharing space with rooftop bars high above the skyline. Here’s everything I discovered during my 30 days living like

Athens is one of those rare cities where mythology hangs in the air as tangibly as traffic noise, where a simple stroll feels like stepping between eras. During my weekend adventure, I traced marble paths walked by philosophers, wandered through buzzing neighborhoods, and caught sunsets that felt almost divine. Here’s how my unforgettable three days in the Greek capital unfolded. Day 1 — Plaka Mornings, Monastiraki Buzz & Sunset on Lycabettus Hill A Slow Morning in Plaka I ar

Japan is incredibly well connected by trains, especially the JR network, which makes it easy to move between the major cities. This 21-day itinerary covers Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kanazawa, Takayama, and Osaka, with a mix of city sightseeing, historic temples, and scenic day trips. Days 1–6 — Tokyo & Day Trips Tokyo Day 1 — Arrival in Tokyo & First Impressions I arrived in Tokyo with that mixture of excitement and disorientation that always hits me in a new c

Batumi Day 1 – Arrival and Seaside Stroll When I landed in Batumi, that familiar excitement of a new place washed over me. The air felt heavier here, humid, but refreshing and carried the faint smell of the sea. After checking into my accommodation and dropping off my bags, I opened the balcony door just to hear the waves roll in. That soft, rhythmic sound instantly set the tone for the week ahead. By late afternoon, I made my way to the famous Batumi Boulevard , a 7 km stret

Hong Kong was never just a destination on my map, it was an idea. A skyline that cuts into the clouds, a harbor that glows like a living postcard, and a blend of cultures that feels both ancient and futuristic. Spending a week there felt like stepping into a story where every neighborhood had a heartbeat, every alley a secret, and every moment a mix of chaos and calm. From the very first tram ride up Victoria Peak to the last bowl of noodles in Mong Kok, Hong Kong slowly reve

Prague Castle complex I landed in Prague and first went to the Prague Castle complex. When I first approached the Prague Castle complex, I felt an immediate sense of awe. The sheer scale of the largest ancient castle in the world rises dramatically above the city, and as I slowly climbed the cobblestone path toward the entrance, it felt like stepping into a living history book. The soft morning light illuminated the castle’s imposing walls, making the centuries of architectur

Delhi Arriving in Delhi is one of the most surprising and challenging capital cities you will arrive in. The best way to handle it is to make a visit to the capital in the first day of arrival in Delhi. Negotiate a rickshaw ride to the Gandhi Memorial named locally Raj Ghat. It is a marble slab located on the spot where the leader was cremated. From here, continue until you reach the India Gate. It is a memorial to the soldiers of World War I and the Afghan wars. The place is

Bet Shean Getting off at the train station in Bet Shean you feel a heatwave strike as you watch the large mass of water that’s situated across from the station. Almost feels like you just landed in Eilat. Situated in the valley below sea level most of the year it is sunny and hot. I headed towards the national garden that contains ancient roman ruins. In fact, these ruins contain the best-preserved Roman City in the State of Israel. A few good hours are worth it here for sure

Spain! In 10 days, we will visit 6 magnificent cities in the South of Spain including moving to another country (England) while we are at it. Sevilla, Ronda, Malaga, Gibraltar, Cordoba, Granada comprise a nice tour of most of the South, with all the sightseeing, tapas, and pleasures you can wish for in this area. We begin by landing in Madrid and taking the first train to Seville. Giralda Seville is the capital of the South, Andalusia. Climb the Giralda in Seville once you ge

Delhi I just landed in Delhi, this time heading quickly North. True, the pollution in this city is a big part of me running away quickly from the city. I personally can’t stay here and breathe normally, so I went to the Main bazaar and got a ticket to Ladakh where the air is heavenly as opposed to this city. But I did have 24 hours before my flight. So, I simply wandered the streets of the Bazaar and had some Gulab Jamun. You can see it all over the city, so I had to try the

Nepal and the Annapurna Circuit I arrived by bus from Gourakpur to Kathmandu. Although as dirty as New Delhi the surrounding mountains including Mount Everest is an impressive site to remember a good beginning to your trip in Nepal. We found a nice guest house for super cheap as the Nepalese Rupee is even more devalued than the Indian one. Funny thing on the way into Nepal is the quarter of an hour you must set your clock back although in the same time zone. In the morning we

I took a nice taxi ride from the south of Poland straight into Slovakia and was very impressed. The lush green hills and forests on the way were magnificent. I decided to get off at the first infrastructure I saw as the meter was running. This happened to be the city of Bardejov. The vibe is a bit slower then bustling Krakow which I came from but I immediately fell in love with the country. The slower pace has some magic in it. In Bardejov you can go see the Church of St. Aeg
