Three Days In Prague – For First-Timers And Repeat Visitors

I might be the perfect person to guide you through Prague, granting three days of awe. Why so? Because I’m an unusual kind of local.

Locals know the best spots. They can communicate with other locals in the native language and, thusly, they might learn things visitors don’t.

On the other hand, locals tend to be oblivious to the beauty of their surroundings. Ignore iconic places. Bored by beauty.

So not being a real local actually works in my favor. I’m still amazed. And for some reason that I’ll explain below even deeply touched.

See? I’ve told you I might be your perfect guide!

Typically Tropical: Best Places Not to Miss on the Amazing Island of BARBADOS

Who remembers the British duo Typically Tropical, who released their debut single called Barbados back in 1975? After starting the song with the determined announcement Woh, I’m going to Barbados, the singer made clear why he was visiting this amazing island in the heart of the Caribbean. His main reason was to get away from his dull job and Britain’s bad weather. And although hardly anybody remembers this classic one-hit-wonder, who in their right mind wouldn’t agree that Barbados is one of the best places not to miss?

Even the lifeguard posts are pretty in Barbados.

I, for one, absolutely agreed with Typically Tropical and made my way to Barbados. Since their song remained a one-hit-wonder, I’m pretty sure the duo has given up their career by now; and who knows, maybe they retired in Barbados.
Howsoever, in this post, I’m taking you to the best places the island has to offer.

One Week in BONAIRE: The Best Activities Beyond Diving

Bonaire is the easternmost of the three so-called A B C islands, which are part of the Dutch Antilles off the coast of Venezuela.
The popular holiday destination Aruba is Bonaire’s little sister, while Curaçao is the bigger and apparently more important one.
This makes Bonaire seemingly the oftentimes overlooked middle child.
Very unjustly so, since although it might be lesser known, B is still at least as beautiful and varied as its siblings A and C.
Need proof?
No problem: In this post, I’ve put together the best activities you can enjoy on beautiful Bonaire in one week – even if you are not diving.
