The Algarve was on my bucket list for a long time, and it was a must-do on my 10-day trip to Portugal. Is it a good idea to cover The Algarve in 2 days? Probably not. But I didn’t have a choice! We usually get only a week or 2 off and that’s why, I’ve learned to make the most of my (limited) holidays in a country. First, I highly recommend renting a car in The Algarve as it gives you the flexibility to go to different places within a short span of time and makes the trip extremely efficient as well as convenient. The Algarve is a region that offers a perfect blend of sun, sea and relaxation ..read more

The Azores Islands are a part of Portugal, made of nine volcanic islands or 3 archipelagos: the Eastern Group (Santa Maria and São Miguel), the Central Group (Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial), and the Western Group (Flores and Corvo). Best reached by a direct flight from Lisbon, the islands are known for their lush vegetation, beautiful landscapes, and unique fauna. 3 days in Azores Islands means you will need to pick one island; we chose to visit São Miguel, which was about 2.5 hours by flight from Lisbon. Home to hot springs, beautiful beaches, and volcanic landscapes, the Az ..read more

Serbia is one of those off-beat, unspoken-of countries that one doesn’t think of putting in their bucket list. I also probably wouldn’t have made it, had it not been for the pandemic. Considering that in 2021, most countries were still closed or battling high cases of Covid-19, only the smaller, lesser-known countries had opened their borders for tourism and Serbia was one of them. For me, just being able to get out and explore a new country is more important than checking off items in my travel bucket list, so I booked my tickets and landed alone in Serbia, wide-eyed like a child in a new sc ..read more

This is a guest post by Ron Lightland. Ron moved to Georgia as a kid and spent countless summers traversing the grounds of Stone Mountain Park. You can typically find Ron exploring the United States or helping build itineraries for his friends and family, especially those wanting to explore Atlanta, Georgia. When talking about a trip to Atlanta, Stone Mountain definitely comes as a top contender on the list. I mean, who wouldn't want to lace up their shoes and conquer this mountain made of unique materials - well, special because mountains aren't usually made of granite. There is a reason why ..read more

The Balearic Islands of Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera are known world-over for their sunny climate, sandy shoes and for some of the islands, great nightlife. But ..read more

As much as I enjoyed exploring Belgrade and Novi Sad, Serbia has so much more to offer. I recommend spending at least a week in Serbia, and if possible, make it a road trip! Driving may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Serbia’s roads are amazing (well, in most part) and their highways are a pleasure to drive on! It also gives you the flexibility to get out of the large cities and explore the laidback, charming smaller towns in the outskirts. I’m writing here about why you should visit Subotica from Novi Sad, an art nouveau town in Serbia. Hardly a 1-hour drive via A1 (which I absolutely reco ..read more

Serbia was a last-minute plan, and a solo trip for me. While trying to research on the best places to see (for a nature lover like me), I came across some gorgeous pictures of Uvac Canyon and I knew it had to be a part of my 1-week itinerary for Serbia. But getting there was NOT easy and that’s why this guide for Everything you need to know about visiting Uvac Special Nature Reserve is going to make your life much easier, should you plan on taking this great adventure! There is no better way of exploring a country than a road trip, especially if you wish to leave the cities and traverse the o ..read more

Durmitor National Park in Montenegro was without a doubt my favourite part of the country to explore. For someone who is a sucker for mountains, valleys, lakes, greenery, nature walks and hikes, this part of Montenegro surprised me pleasantly, not only because it surpassed the beauty of the crystal-clear blue water beaches & the stunning coastal drives in west Montenegro, but because it had hidden, unknown lakes that are more incredible than some of the lakes I have seen in other parts of Europe. 3 days in Durmitor National Park was the perfect amount of time to spend there, and a great b ..read more
