This trip was the most demanding trip I’ve planned so far. This trip included a country with extremely low number of tourists and a country with regulated tourism. This meant months of researching, trying to plan an itinerary that allowed us to visit six countries in 27 days. That is why I was so pleased when I figured out that my research was spot on. I wouldn’t have spent my days in any other way. If you have an extra day or two, sure, add a day here and there but I got to see all the things I wanted in 27 days. It doesn’t mean that I’m not going…

It seems like Mexico has it all, so you can plan whatever kind of trip you want. My favorite places so far, after spending…

While researching, I mostly found tips from full-time travelers that recommended several weeks in Cuba, but I didn’t have several weeks to spend in Cuba. I wanted to explore as much as possible in four days, ‘cause I wanted to visit a couple of more places on this trip. After a lot of researching, this is what I ended up doing. Day 1 Havana: It was such a funny feeling landing in Cuba. We had…

When I told people about my trip to Cuba, Mexico and Belize, the respond was “And you’ll only be traveling for 2 weeks?” I always do a lot of research before going to a new place. A lot. When I started my researching process about Cuba, I realized that I wouldn’t find all the info I was looking for. When I started reading, majority of all the blogs out there, was written by full time travelers. How could I use the travel tips from people that has all the time in the world? Luckily, I have some great planning skills so I found the perfect itinerary for these three countries,…
