Thinking about Tenerife, the most common highlights are beautiful beaches with clean seawater and the mild climate all year around. But Canary Islands can also be impressive locations for hikers and mountain lovers. Each island is unique and very different … Continued
El Prado museum is one of the most famous and visited places in Madrid. It’s really big and it can keep you entertained for hours.
When I visited Lanzarote, it stroked me how the population managed to survive and thrive in such a dry and harsh land after one of the most dramatic and destructive eruptions in Canary Islands’ history. The entire archipelago has volcanic … Continued

During the winter of 2019, I arrived in Masindi. I had been in Uganda for only a couple of days and I had already crashed a wedding party, ordered a hundred school uniform to donate and eaten fried grasshoppers from a street vendor.
