It is difficult to try and think of adjectives that can really do justice to the Iguazu Falls. It is a spectacular, awe-inspiring sight and all other waterfalls now pale in comparison! It really does live up to its name which means 'big water' in native Guarani Indian language. To put it into perspective, it is… Continue reading Beautiful Iguazu Falls

Santa Marta, Colombia – is it worth it?
Santa Marta sits on the Caribbean coast line and serves as a gateway to Colombia’s nicer beaches, mountains (the Sierra Nevada) and national parks. It is a very hectic, urban city and has a rep for being quite run down in places but you'll still find tourists here as they head to explore the surrounding… Continue reading Santa Marta, Colombia – is it worth it?
Arty vibes in Getsemani, Cartagena
Getsemani is such a cool part of Cartagena and only a 10 minute walk away from the old town. It is so colourful and full of creativity, mainly displayed through the numerous street murals everywhere you look. Getsemani is vibrant though a little run run down in places but I think this just adds to the… Continue reading Arty vibes in Getsemani, Cartagena
Colourful Burano
Burano is a bright, cheery and colourful island in the Venice lagoon, renowned for its handmade lace as well as for its picturesque canals and colourful houses. In fact the island takes its colour palette so seriously that locals must apply to the government before they can paint their houses and can only choose from… Continue reading Colourful Burano
Back to Venice
Even though I've been to Venice before (previous post), as soon as I reached and heard the gondoliers singing, I couldn't wait to explore the city once again! I've learnt that no matter how many times you come to Venice, it still manages to retain its charm and mystique. And as touristy as Venice can… Continue reading Back to Venice
Croatia Travel Diary – Split
I've been wanting to go to Croatia for a while now (before the Game of Thrones hype believe it or not!) and 2017 was the year it finally happened. With its dramatic, mountainous scenery coupled with mesmerisingly clear, turquoise waters, all I can say is I'm not surprised that the Croatia travel industry is booming! The… Continue reading Croatia Travel Diary – Split

Como to Milan
Como town is at the base of Lake Como and most likely the place that you will arrive to explore the lake. It is well connected with trains from Milan and is a lot more buzzing than the smaller towns and hamlets along the lake. This is both a positive and negative, depending on what… Continue reading Como to Milan
Cuba Adventures – Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Santa Clara
Welcome back to Part 2 of my Cuba travel posts! Picking up from where I left off, the tour continues, moving from the North Western tip of Cuba towards the East, with the final stop on this leg of the journey being Trinidad. But first, we stopped for a quick walking tour around the French… Continue reading Cuba Adventures – Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Santa Clara
Cuba Adventures – Vinales, Las Terrazas, Cayo Jutias
Cuba is unique, like no other country i've been to before. That's no surprise given it's dramatic history and an economic embargo that has kept the country in a time warp for over 50 years. And with signs of relations with the US thawing, this could change. So, there's really never been a better time… Continue reading Cuba Adventures – Vinales, Las Terrazas, Cayo Jutias
