A One Day Walking Tour of Prague, Czech Republic

Short on time but want to see the best of what Prague has to offer? This was my predicament when I visited Prague back in November, with just under 48 hours total in the city. Having mentioned some of the sites I wanted to visit to my friend John who lives in Prague, he mentioned that they were all in a circular path. This proved excellent advice as that’s how I planned my own one day walking tour of the city. Continue reading “A One Day Walking Tour of Prague, Czech Republic”

Leckhampton Hill has the Cotswolds Way, a walking path that stretches across the area. Continue reading “Hiking in the Cotswolds: Leckhampton Hill”

Meet Houssaine: The Story of a Disabled Tourist Guide

I met Houssaine in a online travel blogger group, and was drawn to his story when Houssaine shared that he is a disabled tourist guide in Morocco, the country next to where my dad is from in Algeria. I’m always inspired by fellow travelers, especially those who overcome odds to travel, so I reached out to Houssaine on if I could interview him about his story and his company, and he agreed.
