I've lost count of the number of layovers I've had in the Doha Airport. I'm never upset when I'm flying Qatar Airways, and I'm definitely never mad at a decent layover in what I think is one of the world's best airports, from the landmark giant Teddy Bear to the never-ending lush greenery from the…
As you make plans to visit Oman, you'll likely be steered in the direction to get out of the capital and spend more time in Oman's beautiful countryside. I'm not here to entirely dispel that, but to also say, Muscat is still worth spending some time in.
However, if you're on limited time and only…
One of the biggest questions when considering a trip to Cyprus is, which is better: Larnaca or Paphos? While I was originally planning on heading to Paphos, a cheap flight deal from Italy led me to Larnaca instead. I unfortunately didn't spend any proper time in Paphos, outside of being stuck in rush hour traffic…
I had a full circle moment when I returned to Thailand, my first ever solo international trip that I took back in 2016. Nearly ten years and 90+ countries later, I stepped foot in Bangkok, once again.
My first trip to Thailand was a clueless meandering one. I simply booked a roundtrip out of…
The Seychelles was one of those destinations that lived on my beach bucket list for the longest time. When I finally had the opportunity to travel there after road tripping Madagascar, it felt like the tropical respite would be the antidote to the adventure that came with my time in Madagascar.
While many choose to…
I'm currently living in Naples, Italy, but am only permitted to stay in the allotted time of a tourist visa. Already seeking a way to legally extend my time here, I found a great hack: leave the Schengen area as much as possible to continuously add days to my time here.
This hack didn't come…
Aside from the Galapagos Islands, you don't hear folks talking too much about visiting Ecuador. But the capital, Quito, which just so happens to be the oldest capital in South America (and the second highest capital in the world) is full of things to do. Its old town has even been deemed a UNESCO World…
After a series of spontaneous decisions, while in Florence, I cancelled my ticket back to New York City to extend my time in Italy. I had no idea where I was going, where I would sleep, or what I would do, but needing to make a quick decision, I looked on a map and saw…
My first time ever stepping foot in Italy was in the city of Venice back in 2017. I vividly remember skipping down the streets, dancing in pure and utter bliss. Nearly ten years later, I would be brought back to Venice just for a day when a work opportunity arose. While I fully stand by…
I will never forget my first time in Parma, Italy. I had just spent one day in Milan, and admittedly, Milano is not my favorite. But I had a flight out of MXP just a few days later, so I had two options: hang in Milan for another day, or head somewhere new. I chose…
