Discovering the Emerald River in Slovenia
As part of out Europe Road Trip, we visited Slovenia, where we had the opportunity to discover the Emerald (Soča) River. Constant potable crystal clear streams, flow down the river bank. Canyons try to shadow the river but its emerald colour is so empowering that it shines through the canyons cracks. Hanging wooden bridges lead you over the rapids to witness the beauty of the Julian Alps reflecting upon the river. Tree covered mountains peaks hide behind the clouds and surro

The Best of Central Montenegro
Even though Montenegro is a small country, it has a diverse terrain. Montenegro is the all about its mountains, they plunge abruptly especially around the Bay of Kotor. One can’t visit the country without exploring its mountain and scenic views. One of the best picturesque drives is 25 Serpentine. Not very far from Kotor Bay, this road is not to be missed! It is a 25 minute drive in a single lane narrow route, full of cypress trees with 25 curves. From here you can observe th

Back in time - The Old Towns in Kotor Bay & Budva
Montenegro has a beautiful 300 km coastline along the Adriatic coast. Kotor bay has a 100 km coastline and hits the top 25 most beautiful bays in the world. This shouldn’t be surprising as it looks like a massive fiord surrounded by mountains. But it’s when you step into the old towns, at the edge of this coast that makes you feel like you’re travelling back in time. Walking in the old town of Perast felt surreal, like walking into a picturesque postcard. Its 55 meters Bell

From Seeds to Coffee: How first class Colombian Coffee is made
It’s impossible to avoid the coffee topic when in Colombia. Coffee is their pride and they make it very hard not to notice, as you can smell it in every street and corner. Colombia is one of the main coffee producers around the world, along with Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam, but Colombians claim that they produce the smoothest coffee. In Colombia, they only plant Arabica coffee, which is of the highest quality. One coffee farm as big as 18 hectars can produce as much as 18-2

More to Colombia's Culture | the Silletero Flower Tour
Standing high up in the mountains, in humid chilly air, surrounded by vibrant colours, and the small of fresh flours, I found myself in what I now describe as heaven's garden. Being in Medellin on the first week of August, during the flower festival piqued my interest to know more. So I joined Medellin City Tours for the Silletero Flower tour. Silleteros (coming from the word Silla - meaning chair), carry flowers on their back during the Flower Festival parade. The history of

The Best Trek in Colombia | The Lost City Trek
Isolated in the middle of the thick forests of the Sierra Nevada mountain with no reception whatsoever carrying only a small backpack with the extensions and the stick to help me climb one of the adventurous track to the mysterious ancient ruins. The Cuidad Perdida, or lost city is an abandoned city hidden in the forest which was home to the long-lost indigenous Tyrona tribe whose origins date back to the seventh century. It is believed that La Cuidad Perdida has been home t

The tour into Pablo Escobar's life | Medellin | Colombia
Plata o Plomo? We were so sure we wanted to take the Pablo Escobar tour since Narcos TV-series has been in hype, but being in Colombia has taught us that the locals despised him and they do not want to re-live those days. They recall how Pablo Escobar had created a culture of fear, stigmas and pools of blood throughout Colombia. But we let our curiosity take the best of us, so we took the tour, and we are very glad we did, as we got to know more of Colombia's history. Pablo E
