We took a marshrutka from Tbilisi to the town of Stepantsminda, high in the Greater Caucasus mountains of Georgia. While the scenery along the way was breathtaking, the experience itself ranks high among the most nerve-wracking..

Like many travellers who visit the Caucasus, we wanted to explore both Armenia and Georgia at the same time. Given that the two countries border each other and are very well connected by rail, we decided to have some fun and take the sleeper train that connects the two capitals..

While Armenia might not be at the top of everyone’s bucket list, this country straddling the border between Europe and Asia is a destination that we’d been dreaming of visiting for a while. We knew we were in for an unforgettable trip..

Let’s face it, whether you do it professionally or for pleasure, travelling is an expensive activity. That’s why we love finding gear items for our travels that not only are affordable, but are also clearly made with quality, sustainability and ruggedness in mind..

Krka is one of Croatia’s most famous and recognised nature reserves. We love the outdoors, so this was absolutely one of the locations we were most looking forward to exploring. Our experience in Krka was, let’s just say, a little strange..

With beautiful, crystal clear waters, charming medieval streets and steeped in history, Zadar is a calm and quiet destination on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast that is perfect to visit all year long..

US Border Control has been massively ramping up its security measures with travellers being interrogated for hours, having their electronic devices searched or confiscated, and even of some tourists that have been detained for long periods of time..

Few cities are as iconic as Marrakech. The very name evokes oriental bazaars, exotic smells and unique sights, so it’s no wonder that it is the most visited destination in Morocco. However, Marrakech is far from being a perfect destination..

Tangier is one of Morocco’s largest, most fascinating and diverse cities. With thousands of years of conquest and occupation, it’s an eclectic hot-pot that offers perhaps the greatest variety in terms of atmosphere, sights and architecture..

While planning your visit to Tangier, you might have noticed that some of its most recommend sights are not located within the city, but rather a ways out into the outskirts. Apart from renting a car, the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus might just be the easiest solution..

Chefchaouen is one of Morocco’s most popular and recognisable locations, attracting thousands of tourists each year and blowing through social media with its blue painted streets and stunning mountain views..

One of the most memorable times from our journey through Morocco was the sunrise hot air balloon ride we went on while in Marrakech. Soaring over 3000 feet into the air was an unforgettable moment..

Despite its rich cultural and historical significance, this city is hardly mentioned by most travellers, and even some of our Moroccan friends were puzzled as to why exactly we would want to go there. So, of course, this only stoked our curiosity..

Essaouira is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the big cities. After Marrakech, we were definitely in need of a bit of fresh air and some peace and quiet, so we hopped on a bus and spent a few days exploring this charming seaside destination..

Over the years Marrakech has gotten a reputation as being Morocco’s biggest scamming hub, and after reading a few of these stories ourselves, we’ll admit we were a little apprehensive..
