Ecuador is the only country I’ve visited in South America, and it was amazing. Such diversity in attractions should be envied by other nations. From natural sites to some of the best churches for sightseeing, Ecuador has it all. On our first day in Ecuador, we didn’t do much. We

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

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

Things went smoothly until the end. The end wasn’t too smooth. Our goal was to first visit Split, in the far south of Croatia, then spend the night there. The next day, we would visit Plitvice Lakes National Park, and then we would visit Slovenia’s Lake Bled on the way

I have technically visited the United Kingdom. Technically. I don’t count it because you can’t see Big Ben or Stonehenge in the British Virgin Islands. Instead, the nation is more like an anglicised US Virgin Islands. They use the U.S. Dollar, and nobody we met had any sort of British

We visited Canada surprisingly little – only twice, and for a few days each. We’ve visited three places in Canada. First is Niagara Falls, which we visited on the way to Toronto, our second destination. The third place we visited was Montreal. We drove to Montreal on a long drive

We visited Bulgaria in the summer of 2018 as part of our Europe trip. We were traveling from Belgrade, Serbia, to Skopje, Northern Macedonia, and decided to visit Sofia, Bulgaria on the way. Our reasons were firstly, proximity to Serbia, and secondly, its churches and mosques. We were at the

Our taste of Belgium was just that. A taste, a preview. A longer visit to Belgium will come. The reason why we even stopped in Belgium was to complete the Benelux triad: Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, and instead of visiting Brussels, the capital, we visited Bruges, a northern Flanders

We’ve travelled to Austria thrice. Thrice. It’s never failed to impress. From the beautiful Alps to the ornate Schonbrunn Palace, Austria has the best of it all. Vienna might be the best city in Western Europe. It’s friendly, has a rich history, and isn’t short on sights. My dad and
