Bhutan: An Introduction I knew this week was going to be good the moment I came in to my office on Monday morning, spun around five times, and landed my little passport on the country of Bhutan. This small, landlocked country in South Asia keeps popping up in my radar—in books, movies, conversations, online. I can’t seem to get away from it, and after researching the nation, I know why! I must… Read More
Turkmenistan: An Introduction I have always had a fascination for the “-stan” countries. Everyone always loves to talk about Russia, since the country as a whole resembles a day-time soap opera as to the level of petty political drama, but everyone seems to forget about these incredibly beautifully and culturally rich countries that were once a part of it all. These countries are now just trying to make it on their own… Read More
Guyana: An Introduction South America is one of those continents that had never been on my radar until very recently. After living with a lovely Brazilian girl and meeting a number of her friends in Germany in 2012 during my study abroad, I became infinitely more curious about this land to the south. My curiosity, however, had blinders on—only acknowledging the larger, better known countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Peru, etc. Never… Read More

So, for fun a few nights ago, I created a rough list as to the 30 places that I wanted to visit or things that I wanted to see and experience before I reach the golden age of 30. That gives me 7.5 years to complete a list that only scrapes the surface of places I… Read More
If you ask people for a list of places they would like to travel, those lists tend to have a similar trend: Paris, London, Australia, Barcelona, New York City, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, etc. There are a number of places on those lists that I haven’t even visited. I would also like to one day visit Paris or Barcelona, yet on that same list, one can find a few places that wouldn’t show up on the conventional bucket list.
Agia Napa: a beautiful resort town located on the south western coast of the beautiful country of Cyprus. Although it is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches, it is more famous for its “party capital” title that it shares with the likes of Ibiza, Rimini, and Mykonos. This is a place where British and Scandinavian tourists alike swarm to for any and every special event that involves a heavy amount of alcohol,… Read More
