hiking in Europe

If you are like me, sometimes you prefer hiking all by yourself instead of hitting the trails with a company. That’s completely understandable given the outstanding benefits that hiking solo has to offer. It’s far more peaceful, and it allows you to better immerse yourself with nature. You can keep your own pace and you don’t have to fit in with the wishes or needs of anybody. All that sounds great. However, going into the wilderness all … [Read more...]

Five Reasons to Visit Medellin

March 28, 2019 by Preethi ChandrasekharLeave a Comment

Lonely Planet named Colombia 2nd best country to visit in 2017. I first visited Colombia a few years ago, when I set foot into the walled city of Cartagena.

I discovered a colorful, romantic city where Latin music and dancing greeted me … [Read more...]
