Riding the Mekong River slow boat from Thailand to Laos is a one-in-a-lifetime experience…which I’ve done three times since 2017. My newest ride was in 2024, and boy were some parts of the journey different. Here are all the changes I observed, plus some additional tips to make your journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
I’ve always wanted to do an Isle of Islay tour, and attending the Whisky and Music Festival with Highland Explorer Tours was easily the best option. As I’ve stated before, I don’t drink a lot of alcohol, but I was really happy to sample different whiskies from seven of the nine distilleries on Islay, not to mention all the other attractions, food, and stories on the tour.
There’s no question that Italy is one of the best gastronomical countries in the world. Thus, it was a no-brainer that I had to do the Florence food tour on my recent trip. Here are the dishes I tried, and whether or not I think it’s a good tour to do.
As a food tour guide myself, I will always say that food tours are the best way to explore a new city and culture. Marrakech was no exception. On my second visit, Vanesa and I booked a Moroccan food tour with Marrakech Food Tours. I was quite surprised by some of the dishes we tried, and in absolute heaven with others. Here are the dishes from our tour, and some of the tidbits I learned along the route.
Ushuaia is one of the best cities to visit in Argentina. It’s the southernmost city in the world and a beautiful example of Patagonia. There are plenty of activities and things to do in Ushuaia, even if just relaxing at the resort and taking in the landscape.
