After traveling on and off in the last couple of years, I'm once again back home for a little while.
As usual, I'm sharing travel stories, cultural differences, new cooking skills and ideas with my friends and family. I'm sure they are sick of listening to fantastic Tunisia, marvelous Italy and wonderful Morocco by now. To much of a good thing... You know the saying.
Maybe that's why I decided to start blogging.
Well, mainly because I have so much to say about traveling and living abroad. And also because I have a huge load of information. Let's say I learned things the hard way.
Yes, I got ripped off by that taxi driver, missed that plane, got lost in a city at night and many other things. Traveling is not always rainbows and butterflies. But like home, there's good and bad about everything and every places. Just focus on the good...and laugh about the bad moments.
I actually find the most memorable moments, the ones you will look back at and talk about and laugh until your sides hurt, are those dreadful situations where you were thinking: really? I said I love traveling?
Let's face it: a travel trip without a flaw has no story.
I would have a three feet long list of tips for the backpacker who is going on his first trip. However, it might be as good to learn as you go. Every trip is unique and every traveler too.
There is no guidebook with step by step instructions on traveling. So I will go with the basics:
Pack light, don't plan too much and explore with an open mind.
Safe travels!
