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
“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?
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…
Top 10 courageous ways to spend your retirement
Yours truly, Courageous Wanderer, has so far visited 30 countries of this Earth. The UN states there are 193 countries in the world today, which gives me a coverage of around 16% of the world. When people ask me how many countries I’ve been to, my answer is usually “only 30”. When I ask others…

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
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
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…
Top 10 – Barcelona Voyage Plan
I love the quotes I place at the beginning of each of post. They turn out to be so true. Like for me, all roads did lead to Rome. I had no idea I would be traveling there at all, up to two weeks ahead – I only knew I needed to go somewhere quickly!…
