"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you rich"
The Path Less Taken
My late aunt always told me that in order to live life and learn about yourself, you must travel!
This blog is tailored for the solo travelers or those who don't want to be confined to a resort and wish to get more out of their adventures.
My trips focus on FOOD, HISTORY and COCKTAILS. I do many of the tourist activities, but in a very local way.
