Our guide at Ark Fortress wore a kickass jacket. So, since we liked her jacket so much, she generously (or proudly) told us the address of this fashion clothing shop in Bukhara. It wasn’t easy to find, but it wasn’t like we had a...
I have many positive and unique experiences in Iceland, and I’m very fond of this country! I was impressed by it before going, and after the trip I’m even more impressed and wishing to go back! So if cost is an issue for you, a 14-day...
If you’ve been to New Delhi for a few times and get a bit tired of all the Indian spices and chaos, or if you are feeling homesick or need a little bit of peace of mind (and preferably with non-stop air-conditioned room), then the good news is...

Svinafelljukul is a special glacier that looks almost like a surface of another planet. Interestingly, this is where the movie ‘Interstellar‘ shot Dr.Mann’s planet! The site might be a bit neglected by tourists as two other...
Travel Date：2015/6/20 Location：Reykjavik-Snæfellsjökull National Park-Olafsvik Besides Jokulsarlon Lagoon and the Golden Circle, the under-rated Snæfellsjökull National Park is a place I’d recommend if you have time. It’s within...
Not many people would compare Iceland with Tasmania. Most people call Tasmania a mini-Australia while comparing Iceland with New Zealand. True, there isn’t glacier in Tasmania. However both trips to Tasmania and Iceland gave me surprises in nature...
In short, if you feel like trying to spot a tiger in wildlife, then this is the most accessible national park to go to. My itinerary was Delhi-Agra-Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur (for birds)- Ranthambhore National Park in Sawai Madhopur-Jaipur...
I was completed sold when I saw how incredibly beautiful these little towns in Black Forest were. And then I saw Schiltach, I said to myself, “This one is special!” And it turned out it really was!

Riding a bike is a fun thing to do in Pokhara. The rental fee is only Rs.200 a day (for a basic mountain bike). While paragliding is a really popular thing to do (around $110 per flight, I think), riding a bike is a much more affordable activity.
Here’s just a bit of information! Since Belgium is famous for chocolate, the idea of eating free chocolates in Belgium is just too wonderful! And you’ll find this dream comes true at Neuhaus Outlet. It’s located in the outskirt of...
The spilled blood (Savior on the spilled blood) church is probably one of the most recognizable church in the world. The story behind that I remember was a tsar was assasinated here because the people were distressed at the heavy tax he put...
One of my fondest memories in Saint Petersburg was at Peterhof Summer Palace. I just really enjoyed it. There are two parts of this garden called upper garden and lower garden. The upper garden is free. For a free garden, it is nice...
