Most backpackers say they love exploring nature and the great outdoors and culture when traveling. The only and best way to do so is by staying in homestays, very popular in South East Asia.

How to spend a month in Palawan, Philippines
It’s actually very easy and dreamy. Happy. When i think about the Philippines that is what i feel, pure joy, perfection, content and mesmerized.

Nothing really prepares you to the reality of a floating village. When you here about it, it all sounds exotic and fascinating, another trip every tourist should put Check next to when visiting Asia.

Jujuy-A journey of colors and history
Many of the backpackers i have met knew very little about this province and it is a shame since it is one of the unique and stunning places i have visited in Argentina. Located up North, it is the land of colorful hills, geometric shaped cut outs in the landscape, huge cactuses that reach the…
San Telmo-the place to live in Buenos Aires
Colors, art, architecture and best food around-San Telmo is the neighbourhood to stay in Buenos Aires. I love art, especially street art and street markets. Walking around made me feel i am walking in a musuem under the blue sky. Every building is different from an architecture point of view; balconies, green plantation, plain or…
