What to do in Plovdiv for a day
Plovdic was the highlight of my last trip to Bulgaria. The Old Town, the atmosphere in the Kopana district and the food. Wow, it exceeded all my expectation.

Skopje
Skopje is the capital and the biggest city of the newly named North Macedonia. It is located in the central northern part of the country, divided into two parts by the river Vardar. Interestingly, it’s called “the city of statues” and believe me, its gotten its nick name for a reason. There are statues literally everywhere. In fact, there are almost 300 statues all around the city. Do you want to make that the goal of your trip, trying to see them all? It for sure would have been fun to try!

Yes, there’s too many vehicles producing way too much CO2, but I imagined a chaos before going. I did see a chaos, but I saw an organized chaos. The city has millions of cars and motorbikes and they manage to make this work by having a system to their madness. The city and surrounding area are packed with history and culture, giving you experiences you’ll never forget. Wondering if your wallet can handle it? It can. This big city offers…

A historical visit to Cu Chi Tunnels, Ben Duoc
When I started my research on what to do in the Ho Chi Minh area, they all had this one in common: The Cu Chi Tunnels. The tunnels were dug by the Communist forces during the Vietnam War and were used to transport supplies, communication, hiding and housing troops. They dug tens of thousands of miles of tunnels, with several floors and several branches reaching out in every direction. These tunnels are now one of the most popular attractions in the Ho Chi Minh area. While researching, you’ll find that there are two possible sites to visit: The Ben Dinh or the Ben Duoc. I chose to visit the latter,…
