    Top 10 destinations visited in the past year

    The past year was an enormous game-changer in my life. By mid last year, I was only a wannabe traveller, and had not travelled anywhere in over three years – firstly due to lockdowns, and then due to a serious Achilles’ tendon injury. How fun! But, yours truly Courageous Wanderer was persistent in making his…

  • Never solo, but always on the go

    Never solo, but always on the go

    “I never travel alone with my kid, so relying on my husband is a big part of our travel adventures. I do at least one “workation” per year. Typically, my kid spends most of the day with his dad and I split work in a way that lets me spend time with the two of…

  • How much courage does a solo trip cost?

    How much courage does a solo trip cost?

    The time has come! The first reader that approached me with their story of a solo trip! This is a close friend of mine, who shared she was inspired by my story of doing things alone. Just to remind you, alone is not a synonym for lonely – these are two words with completely different…

  • The Beaches of Cyprus

    The Beaches of Cyprus

    While most of the Northern hemisphere is starting to prepare itself for the upcoming summer, wouldn’t you like to hear about a destination that is more than worth everyone’s while? Typically a summer holiday destination, full of golden-sanded beaches and crystal clear sea water – despite the fact it holds around 330 sunny days every…

  • Sarajevo – the city where worlds collide

    Sarajevo – the city where worlds collide

    “Sarajevo is the center of civilization – it is the line where the East meets the West, kisses it smoothly, and envelops it in its own warm embrace. It is a city where even the most contrary sides find a common ground, cohabitating as one, in a symphony of love and unity. Sarajevo exists in…

  • A World Wonder – or a world of wonders

    A World Wonder – or a world of wonders

    Now, where were we? Ah, yes, the 3.5 hour walk to the opposite end of Petra. One way. If you are not someone who likes walking, you’re not up for a fun time. I mean, you can always ride a donkey, but where’s the adrenaline rush in that? (Even if we ignore moral implications here.)…

  • 1001 Nights in Jordan

    1001 Nights in Jordan

    And here comes my favorite part – the wonderous life-changing experience, the night spent under the desert skies. Not sure if this is what “Arabian nights” had in mind, but I’ll go for it. Have you ever asked yourself how people in ancient times were able to spot constellations in the sky? Simple – they…

  • The Magic of Jordan

    The Magic of Jordan

    One morning, my phone rang. It’s a call from a really close friend. I pick up. The voice on the other end of the line asks me if I want to go to Jordan… Yes! Now, I’ve noticed lately that Jordan has become one of the most popular off-the-beaten-path destinations. In all honesty, I went…

  • Where I am from

    Where I am from

    Report this, report that, report everything. Visit a new city, a new country, a new place. Feel the spirit of every part of Earth you find along the way. Tell everybody about the food you tried. Meet the locals – everywhere. Feel all the local customs and traditions. Experience a different life here and there.…

  • Hidden gem of Europe

    Hidden gem of Europe

    The name of this post was intended to be “And I though Europe had nothing left to offer!” – but I changed it at the last moment. The long intro is there to show that in the past year (mostly) I’ve been around quite a number of European countries, and that that part requires change.…
