    Top 10 countries I can’t wait to visit

    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…

  • 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…

  • Non-stop travel x Social media detox

    Non-stop travel x Social media detox

    This year has been crazy for me. Unfortunately, I’ve been seeing incomparably more bad (even terrible) events in the past months, in my direct environment, than nice ones. Yet, I’m staying strong, swimming with my head above the water all along, eventually passing a life vest to whomever I can. How, you wonder? As crazy…

  • 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…

  • Top 10 – Barcelona Voyage Plan

    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!…

  • Barcelona – The city of great minds

    Barcelona – The city of great minds

    I’ll be honest with you – the main monument I wanted to see in Barcelona was Salvador Dali’s Museum. (Un)Fortunately, it was closed for the public at the time of my visit. Ever since high school (and luckily, my art classes did not suck, like the ones in geography classroom), I’ve been obsessed with Salvador’s…

  • How to deal with overbearing stress of travel?

    How to deal with overbearing stress of travel?

    Packing again? Where is my toothbrush third time this month? How many charger cables do I need? Should I install a streaming service on my phone, in case I’m bored by the destination? (No!) How am I going to pay for another travel this year? There are over 190 countries in the world, and I…
