I have arrived in this city, hoping to spend a considerable amount of time on the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Unfortunately, I have found them in rough shape. Filled with debris and garbage that I think is a result of the recent floods. I can however enjoy another aspect of the waterfront. Walking …
My plan for exploring this area was to spend quite a bit of time on the beaches. Having heard the name ‘Costa del Sol’ many times over the years, I had envisioned this place as extraordinary. What I found was entirely the opposite. Here is a brief overview of the beaches of the Costa del …

One thing I always enjoy about visiting a country that has had a socialist past, is the architecture. I can understand why some don’t enjoy this style, but the clean lines make sense to me.

I’m finally leaving Asia; it’s been just over six months of exploring this part of the world for the first time since childhood. Facing a really long travel day, I decided to break it up. Today I’m flying Korean Air to Bangkok with a 36 hour layover before I proceed to Europe. Departing Busan I …
