Solo in Sweden

August 15, 2024 by Rosie McCann1 Comment

June must be the perfect time to visit Sweden. Quite far north, and in the build-up to solstice, the sun doesn’t set until around 10pm. The flowers were in full bloom in parks and roadside.

Last June I spent a few days visiting a couple of friends who lived in Copenhagen (DK) and Lund in … [Read more...]

The Convenient Travel Guide to Visiting Saudi Arabia

July 25, 2024 by Dave2 Comments

Saudi Arabia used to be one of the most difficult countries to secure a tourist visa. Several years ago on a flight from Bangkok to Vietnam I remember reading an article mentioning that policies regarding travel to the country would be changing in the coming years. I made a mental note to keep an eye open for that. I was able to visit last year, spending the majority of my time in Dammam. Traveling to Saudi Arabia can be an exhilarating … [Read more...]
