I love old towns, they exude a sense of history, contain interesting and beautiful architecture and have a special atmosphere that I find missing from a modern setting. I am grateful to have found a gem along the southern Spanish coastline. Get lost with me in the streets of old Tarifa and discover magical vistas. …

Seeing signs advertising an inexpensive boat trip from the public pier in Budva, I was curious to explore this potential adventure. Usually taking a boat anywhere is costly. The best day trip to Hawaii from Budva is not only affordable but fun too! Galeb Tours Walking along the esplanade at Slovenska, visitors will see numerous …
The city is resting at the shores of the Adriatic Sea, this means that visitors will not only have the new city and Old Town, but also a large beach to explore. I’m going to walk you from end to end, so you can get a feel for exactly what is here. Slovenska Plaza, the …

I am a beach girl at heart. Nothing brings me more pleasure and healing, than walking at a beautiful beach, toes in the sand, sound of the surf methodically placating my racing thoughts. I was ecstatic when I reached this beach. Dadaepo Beach, my favourite in Busan Korea by far. Getting There I took the …
You all know I’m a beach girl at heart. If there is one to be found I will be there with bells on. There are a few beaches in this sprawling metropolis and I am visiting the most famous one first. A beautiful day at Haeundae Beach in Busan was just what I needed. Getting …
I don’t think I have hidden the fact that I have not had the best time in Bali. The country is nothing like I expected. Granted I did not do nearly enough homework so this is all on me. It was not a loss however; I did indeed discover some beautiful things that I really …
Now onto my third coastal destination while visiting this Indonesian island this year. Previously I have explored the Seminyak and Canggu areas.

One of the reasons I travel, one of the biggest reasons, is to experience, see and learn about different cultures around the world. Bali has been a disappointment in that regard. I fear, after speaking with older locals as well, that much of the precious culture is gone. What little remains is not easy to …

I fully expected to love the food here in Thailand. Coming from Vietnam, where I couldn’t get enough of the local dishes, I was of a similar mindset when I entered this country. However, I have really struggled here. This is why I have not enjoyed Thai food as much as I expected to. My …

Personally, I do not imbibe, however I have really enjoyed seeing the creative signs, logos and store fronts at each destination I explored. Here are some fun signs of weed in Thailand. Smell Currently, marijuana is …
I don’t usually write posts like this, but after spending a few weeks exploring this area and these towns, I just can’t get this off my mind. Try as I might I am struggling to find beauty here in the towns. Phuket has an undercurrent of sleaze, and although its arguably at its worst in …
Oh jeez, I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew this morning. This was a steep one, and one that I had to constantly encourage myself to keep continuing. My hike up Mt. Nakkerd to the big Buddha was both exhausting and exhilarating. Location Past Kata Beach on Phuket Island, if one …
