Dominica

While not the richest country, nor the most known, Dominica is a hidden gem. It is small, and relatively untouched in the tourism industry, except for cruise ships, which only cover the surface of the island nation. There is much more to Dominica than just a day trip. It is

Denmark

Though we visited Denmark after Norway and Sweden, we actually spent time there in a layover, though it was an insignificant amount of time. Instead, I will talk about my second trip there, where we visited two places: Billund and Copenhagen. Most people reading this will recognize Copenhagen, the capital

This is one of the unfinished countries. What I mean by this is we only scratched the surface, having visited the Czech Republic for a grand total of around 10 hours. Those were some productive hours though. The first time we visited the Czech Republic was on our train ride
