The Porto-versus-Lisbon debate has been running for as long as budget airlines have served both cities. For a weekend trip, the answer barely matters - both are excellent and you should visit both. But for travellers planning a month or longer, the differences between Portugal's two major cities start to matter in ways that no weekend can reveal. I have spent extended time in both. Here is what I have learned about living in each, rather than … [Read more...]

11 Safety Tips for Solo Female Travelers in Korea
Is Korea safe for a solo female traveler? For the most part, yes! Korea is a generally a great destination for female travelers, until you want some authentic Korean food or KBBQ. Some restaurants might not accommodate solo diners. But it's not because of your nationality. Their minimum order usually starts at a two-person portion, so they would refuse to serve me as well.

The Low-Trust Society and Hard-Earned Expat Insights
Originally published via Armageddon Safari: I recently stumbled upon a true gem of an X post from @kunley_drukpa — not necessarily a ringing endorsement of expat life in India, but an expert treatise on the “low trust society” that rings all too true for anyone with experience in the Third World.

Ystad, Southern Sweden – December 2025
This picturesque town is a photographers dream, especially during late spring and summer. If the town was only historical buildings (of which there are plenty) it would be a beautiful place - but then throw in the gorgeous array of flowers and blooming trees during this time of year, and if its not too much to ask - warm days with lots of sunshine!
