Yes, it does sound like a sneeze gone wrong, and although I did need some ‘Gesundheid’ after the flu took me down, the Cinque Terre is not supposed to be something to sneeze at. The ‘ 5 lands’ or towns are on many a tourist’s bucket list. Here is how

Dat Venesië goedkoop kan wees is seker die teenoorgestelde wat jy al gehoor het. Maar voor ek verduidelik moet ek bieg dat dit nie baie maklik is om ‘n ‘ hoe ek dit gedoen het’ te skryf nie. Eerstens, dit is wat dit is en mens kan nie regtig ‘n ‘spin’ daraan

Istanbul was a delight. What an unexpected surprise!This country that spans two continents was never on my bucket list. I remember that on an exchange program many moons ago, I shared a room in a backpacker’s in Berlin with a girl from Istanbul. She told that if I ever went

This trip was probably the most impulsive holiday I ever was on. My favourite people told me that they were leaving in a few days on a southern Africa tour and was just wondering if I would like to go with. I couldn’t sleep that night because of excitement and
