What to do in Minsk
Planning my trip to Minsk, I really didn’t know what to expect, but since rather unknows cities intrigues me I decided that I had to visit the capitol of the so-called “Europe’s last dictatorship”. I must admit, I had the perception of Minsk as a grey, cold post-Soviet capital, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s such a neat and beautiful city. One of the reasons why I decided to visit Minsk at this point, was the introduction of the visa-free period for many nationalities. Belarus is certainly not a big tourist destination, I hardly saw any tourists but that might change, as a result of the new visa procedure. Tips:…

Hiking Kilimanjaro, the Marangu route
Kilimanjaro is a demanding hike, but maybe not in the way people often think. You don’t need to be super fit, you don’t need any special skills. The hike is in a slow pace, but it’s a hard hike in altitude. It will require more of you mentally rather than physically. Two of our guides, with Kilimanjaro in the background Flying inKilimanjaro is quite accessible. The closest international airport is called Kilimanjaro International Airport and has the airport code JRO. There are several airlines to choose from, so getting tickets to JRO won’t be a problem.

What are the benefits of a Frequent Flyer account?
Did you know that after completing a flight, a certain amount of miles or point are being generated? These points have a value and if you collect enough of them, you can get a free fight! Or basically free, you still have to pay taxes. What is an airline alliance? An airline alliance is a group of different airlines choosing to cooperate with each other. This means that there’re several benefits for the customers. The member airlines will together provide a greater variety of destinations and more convenient connections. It means that if your flight gets cancelled or any problems occur, it’s easier for the airline to help you as…

The best 4 day itinerary in Mexico (without a car)
Mexico is a popular tourist destination and has been for a while, so planning a trip to Mexico is not difficult. It’s easy to read up on the biggest attractions, how to get there and what the different places offers. This allows you to thoroughly select the places you want to see. I’ve been doing research for this trip for years. I’ve been longing for the white sandy beaches, the clear blue waters and for the history of the Mayan people. And of course, the tacos. It seems like Mexico has it all, so you can plan whatever kind of trip you want. My favorite places so far, after spending…

A day trip to Nesvizh and Mir Castle
While doing my research on Minsk, I quickly realized that a day trip visiting the castles nearby was a must and choosing to travel by public transportation would make the trip even more of an experience. Traveling by car will save you time, you can even fit it all the three castles nearby, but I highly recommend traveling by train and bus. We tried both. It’s a fun experience traveling in a country where you not only don’t understand the language, you don’t even understand the alphabet. We chose to take the train to Haradzieja, then a bus from Haradzieja to Nesvizh. The train ride was nothing like I’ve ever…

Ohrid
I didn’t have high expectation to Ohrid, or to North Macedonia itself. I just love to travel, so no matter what the outcome is, to me it’s an adventure either way. But let me tell you about Ohrid, my favorite place in North Macedonia. My first meet with Ohrid was walking in from the Park Plaza Golden View hotel. The town was gorgeous! I loved getting closer and closer, cause I realized it was going to be much better than I expected. The town itself reminds me a lot about Old Town Dubrovnik, Croatia, only more and bigger. What I found so charming was the narrow, cobblestoned streets, the red…

Where to stay in Ohrid
Before going to Ohrid, we pre-booked a place that really, really didn’t meet our expectations. I don’t mind staying at a place with a low standard, but I do mind when people are selling something that’s miles from the reality. Once we checked in, we knew we had to find another place. To keep it short: Don’t stay at Park Plaza Golden View. I won’t go into too many details, but our experience was horrible. We went for a dinner in town, found a place that had wifi and booked a new place to stay. The bright side of this experience: We discovered Villa Varosh! This place was not even…
