Canary, piano, garden, champagne… you can find all these romantic elements in ONE place, Baczewski Restaurant! You might not have heard of this place before, but this is the most beautiful secret garden in Lviv, if not the whole Ukraine! When...
When you are visiting St.Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, you can consider having your lunch at Fish Market Restaurant. It’s only 2 minutes walk from St.Sophia Cathedral complex, and I think historically this place used to be a fish market. Because...
Ever wonder what food people eat in Jordan? Let’s have a look! Jordanian Mansaf (and Falafel and hummus) When it comes to Jordanian food, the national pride has to be mansaf. (the top left). However I don’t eat lamb…. and the...
Till now I’m not sure the ratio between surfers and hosts on Couchsurfing. But I’m pretty sure the ratio is dramatically different between countries (or even cities). So, even though I don’t send out copy-paste messages, my sincerity doesn’t...
My trip to Saint Petersburg was truly special. Because of the sanction against Russia’s invasion to Ukraine, the currency in Russia has become at least 40% weaker since 2015. So it was a good time to visit Saint Petersburg in terms of price...

You might not be interested in this church if you only see it from outside without knowing what it is. Gamle Aker Kirke, the Old Aker Church (I’m not sure what Aker means) was built in 1080 by stones. To my amazement, it is free to...
Many people say Saint Petersburg is one of the most expensive cities in Europe. But this is certainly not true anymore since the economic sanction against Russia by the EU because of their attack on Ukraine. Putting recent and old politics aside, I...
I randomly found this B&B in Bukhara. My friend and I took a night train from Samarkand to Bukhara, and we made a new friend. His friend sort of knew how to bargain, so we became their ‘leverage’. And we got this incredible deal, $20...
I’ve always wondered why people host on couchsurfing. It’s a lot of work to take care of other people, especially strangers! And trust issue is another thing to overcome. If I can tell you a thing or two, here’s how I would categorize the types of...
No we weren’t taken there by groups. We were individuals who were just bored in Bukhara and needed to find something to do. Folklore and Fashion Show definitely sounded like a tourist trap. And it costs around $20 for the show and...
Uzbekistan is a beautiful country. And I felt I had a lot of fun and I saw a lot of cool architectures in Uzbekistan. 8 Days is pretty perfect for a good time in Uzbekistan.
Back in the days when booking accommodation online wasn’t that popular, I accidentally stayed at Bahodir B&B in March, 2013. It was a very pleasant surprise, like going on a blind date. I didn’t consult with the Lonely Planet...

If you don’t have money, you can survive in Chorus market. It’s a big market for the locals, and it’s quite fun to look around. Sometimes you get free sampling of food too! I still don’t know what this is...
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...
