A full travel guide on visiting Olympos Ancient City: all you need to know about visiting some of Turkey's best ruins along the clear blue Mediterranean Sea.

Though Koh Kood is much less visited than Thailand’s well known islands down south, getting to and from is just as simple, if you do it correctly.

One of the most amazing parts of visiting Vietnam, is being surrounded by the remnants of the country’s history, both recent and ancient. If you are interested in visiting some good historical spots during your visit in the city, I hope that this is of some help to you. Enjoy.

With towering, vibrant green rice terraces, flowing rivers, and a collection of smaller villages, way up in northern Vietnam, Sapa is a town that is straight out of a fairytale. While planning your Sapa trip, it is important to pick a good homestay to take you on treks, along with comfortable accommodation - Mekhoo & Zizi Sapa Homestay is absolutely what you are going to be looking for.

In Thailand, the crowds can seem hard to escape a lot of the time-though I have to remember that I am a tourist as well-but if you are looking for the silence, Koh Kood (known also as Koh Kut) serves as a quieter, lesser known oasis to the east right along the Cambodian border.

Spanning over 380km, the Hà Giang Loop in the Northern most area of the country is the best thing that you can do on your visit to Vietnam-and it is also one of the most popular things to do for that reason. I highly recommend doing the loop through Mama’s Homestay, the best tour group option in Vietnam!

Scattered off of South and Central America’s Caribbean coast is an abundance of perfect, tropical islands that rival some of those in the Maldives or Polynesia. While most people will visit Aruba, Jamaica or The Cayman Islands, one of the Caribbean’s best hidden gems is Nicaragua’s Corn Islands.

Nestled in the hills of southern Lisbon is the Alfama neighborhood, one of the oldest, and most beautiful neighborhoods in the entire city. The neighborhood is filled with the typical bright tiled neoclassical architecture that you picture when you think of Portugal. The small, narrow roads light up at night with music and people dancing spilling into the streets from the fado bars and small little hole in the wall restaurants.

When visiting Guatemala’s vibrant city of Antigua, there is a type of accommodation to choose from for every kind of traveler, from hostels to modern boutique hotels. If you are like me and fall in between those two, Barbara’s Boutique Hostel is where you want to be. 

I am totally biased having worked there for a couple of weeks, but with no doubt, Sole’n Blu is the best place to stay in Kaş. The atmosphere mixed with the most beautiful terrace view over the Mediterranean is just the very beginning of all of the factors that make Sole’n Blu the best.

While the resort-y metropolitan feeling city of Antalya is the most visited, Kas is the gem of the beach towns along the Riviera. Below I have gathered my favorite things to do in Kas, and in the areas around town. Whether you are there to explore for two days or to relax for five, there is plenty for everyone to do.

While the resort-y metropolitan feeling city of Antalya is the most visited, Kaş is the gem of the beach towns along the Riviera. Kaş’ small cobblestone streets are alive all day and night-in the best way.

Tucked away on the super southern coast of Albania, Filikur Beach is around a 25 minute walk from the main stretch in the center of Himarë (and only around a 10 minute walk down from Filikur Hostel).

Out of my weeks spent in Türkiye, one of my favorites, if not my favorite, little adventure was out to Demre from Kaş to visit the Saint Nicholas church. Visiting the old church had been on my list of things to hit here since I started planning my trip, and though it is smaller, it was seriously so beautiful and mind bending.

The white cathedral of León, or the Cathedral Of The Assumption Of Mary (Real E Insigne Basílica De La Asunción De La Bienaventurada Virgen María), is one of the two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Nicaragua, and probably León’s most recognizable pieces of architecture. Built between the years 1747 and 1814, the cathedral still holds the title of the largest in Central America.

Over the past few days I slept in a tent on the beach on the Turkish Riviera, surrounded by the towering cliffs of Butterfly Valley (Kelebekler Vadisi), under the brightest shooting stars, and next to the crashing waves of the clearest blue water that I have ever seen. I spent my days sunbathing on the cliffs, diving in when I got too hot,

One of my favorite days during this trip to Jamaica was the day that we went out to the Blue Hole Mineral Spring, it was so unbelievably beautiful and so much fun.There are several different “blue swimming holes” around the island, 5 to be exact. The difference between the Blue Hole Mineral Spring compared to the other spots is that this is actually in an unreal limestone cave 23 feet below the ground. 

Set on southern Albania’s riviera just above Kakome Bay sits Krorëza Beach (Plazhi i Krorëzës), a secluded beach surrounded by beautiful steep rolling hills that overlook the bright, clear turquoise water of the Ionian Sea and the Greek islands of Corfu and Erikoussa in the distance. 

As tourism is gradually increasing on the islands, there is a good amount of small family run hotels and guesthouses that are feasible for the most part. During my time spent on both Big Corn and Little Corn I gathered a list of accommodation options to share here.

Before I start writing about the beautiful beaches, best things to do, or really anything, I am going to write about Himarë’s castle and Old Town first. The site was one of my favorite places that I visited in Albania-The town has insane history, one of my favorite parts about my visit was learning about, and experiencing a lot of it first hand and up close. If you are visiting Himarë, this is an absolute must see without any doubt.
