Reasons why Portugal is so popular
Portugal was once an ancient kingdom with hilltop castles and walled towns, almost akin to a setting in Game of Thrones. One of the most memorable things when I first visited was how friendly and open the locals were, even more so if you were a dedicated football fan. The country is made up of…

Every journey starts with a dream. My dream was climbing the highest points on earth. I read everything there was ever published about Himalayan Treks and found inspiration from countless people that have taken the adventurous journey. I woke up thinking about it, dreamed about it and went to bed believing that one day it…
Back to Nepal: A little inside of the country and my first night in Kathmandu
Last August, I visited the country for the first time as a tourist. Less than six months later, I returned to explore more beautiful places in Nepal. Armed with pre-booked flight tickets, online visa, a backpack along with USD 750, CNY 1000, and a host of other foreign currencies, I returned to the land of…
Austria, a world-class destination
Austria is a world-class destination. It is landlocked country home to some of the greatest musical composers in the world, skiing and action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger. The country is an excellent spot for tourists since it borders Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. I took a trip with my adventure buddy Leah…
Visiting my best friends in Philippines
I’ve visited the Philippines on three separate occasions; first time was during a 45 days Southeast Asian cruise, it was only three days visit though. The second time was to attend a conference and promote an airline, literally had no time to have a real adventure. The last was to visit my best friends in…
Lost in Italy, scared and alone!
Hey mate! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! What are you up to this holiday? My most favourite things to do are giving a surprise visit to my friends and family, or simply travel to new places. I just cannot stay at home during the holiday. I once wanted to surprise my friend in…

When most people think of Switzerland, the idea of skiing and indulging in cheese fondues springs to mind. Though this is indeed a few aspects of the landlocked country, there’s really so much more on offer. Switzerland is probably the most advantageous country to visit if you are an avid traveller. To the west of…
The origins of the infamous Hamburger in Hamburg
It was a typical weekend when one of my friends, Gabe, appeared from nowhere with his car. He wanted to go on an adventure (like most people with cars do). I hopped in, and we hit the road, speeding down the Autobahn faster than Usain Bolt on a horse. Hahaha. The problem was Gabe wanted…
The Mesmerizing Saint-Denis France
Paris is a city with a reputation for being the perfect place to fall in love (maybe because the Eiffel tower looks like a giant robot “pp”). I decided to go off the beaten path, into unknown territory, Saint-Denis. Going into the unknown is sometimes scary. Fortunately, I was with Lea, a beautiful and smart…
