Taipei is a foodie heaven and dream destination for those who love to hike during the day and try all the different culinary treats in the evening.

A road trip through the Algarve, the south of Portugal should be on everyone’s bucket list. Portugal in general is just an amazing country and there are tons of great camping spots too!

The Georgian food and drinks really surprised me! Friends already told me about their cuisine and apparently, it has some of the oldest and most diverse culinary traditions in the world. The food is rich in flavours and some dishes are pretty heavy but oh-so delicious! I visited Georgia in September and went hiking, so... Continue Reading →
