The best of Iceland in 10 days

I visited Iceland in September 2018 with some friends and after visited 30 countries I think it is my favourite country so far! We rented 4x4 and stayed in different Airbnb around the island. You can go around the island in 7-9 days. Our first idea was to start with the south, then the east area, continue with the north and back to the west but due to the airbnb bookings, we had to change our itinerary, so book your stay ASAP. This was our itinerary: 1.         Arrival to Reikjavik 2.         South a.         Seljalandsfoss b.         Skógafoss c.         Dyrholaey d.         Kirkjufjara e.         Reynisfjara beach 3.         Est Fjords a.         Fjords route b.         Waterfall c.         Seyðisfjörður village d.         Skalanes 4.         Off-Road a.         Jokurlason (Diamond beach) b.         F-208  Video 5.         Golden Circle a.         Thingvellir snorkelling b.         The wall c.         Gullfoss d.         Geysir 6.         Hekla Volcano climbing 7.         Off-road a.

Turkey, Istanbul

Turkey - Part 1, Istanbul We spent 2 weeks in Turkey in 2021 and visited Istanbul, the turquoise coast and the Cappadocia. We spent few days in Istanbul at the beginning of our trip and at the very end, I recommend you to stay in Galata neighborhood, there is a great atmosphere. Day 1 We went to Santa Sofia very early in the morning – highly recommended if you want to take some nice pictures. Then we joined a free tour in the morning, we had traditional lunch at a restaurant recommended by the guide and the we did a boat tour trip in the afternoon through the Bosporus and ended up in Besiktas where we had some drinks at night in a live music place. Day 2 We went to Balat, the alternative neighborhood. Really nice area where you can take thousands of photos, then we walk to the center and stopped in different mosques: Yavuz selim Mosque Fatih Mosque Sehzade mosque I have to add that sometimes you get a better experience in a little mosque where there is nobody.

The Philippines

The Philippines A place to go if you love the 3S, the Sun, the Sand and the Sea, a paradise for the beach lovers! Tips to travel to the Philippines! The best time to visit the Philippines is during the dry season between November and April. I went in May and it was still lovely. Depending where you are coming from, you need at least a full week to enjoy, there are lots of islands, more than 7000 islands, and the roads are not the best so bear in mind you will spend a lot of time on the road, airports and boats if you want to visit one more than place. My 12th days itinerary in Palawan: 1st day Puerto Princesa: arrived by plane and took a van to Port Barton. 2nd day Port Barton: relax, read and watch the sunset. 3rd day Port Barton: chill, read and watch the sunset. 4th day Port Barton: went to white beach by boat. 5thday  Port Barton: Amazing boat tour run by a local. 6th day Port Barton: Took a van to El Nido. 7th day El Nido: beach hoping by bike (Nacpan beach, Lio beach and vanilla

Indonesia, a life-changing experience!

Image
Indonesia is special to me... After traveling several months, I can say it is my favorite country in SE Asia. Why? Because it has many good things, the first and best, the people in Bali, the kindest people I ever met, probably due to their culture/religion. I think karma is a good thing if it’s used properly. The landscapes are amazing... the wild cliffs with the the brave sea...it’s unbelievable! And my favorite view point of the whole trip is in Padar Island in Komodo National park, with magic SUNRISES!! The sea life is blowing minding...turtles, mantas, sharks, all sort of fishes... If you like hiking, there are plenty of volcanos with unforgettable sunrises & sunsets. Exquisite food! Something I love when traveling, taste different flavors!! Full of experiences, parties and obviously surf!!! My Indonesia Itinerary in 26 days: 5 Days in Kuta  4 Days on Wanua boat trip  2 Days in Gili Air  3 Days in Gili T 6 Days in Ubud  1 Day in Canggu

Boat expedition Flores to Lombok - Wanua Adventures Indonesia

Wanua Adventures I highly recommend this boat trip if you like sailing, boat life and snorkeling! 4Days 3 Nights, it’s cheap and very well organized with all food included + snacks and drinking water, coffee and tea. Boat trip from Flores to Lombok  First Day  1st stop was Rinca island and we went to Loh Buaya (Cocodrile Bay) for a little hiking. We did 1h walk (medium walk) You need a tour guide to visit the island. You can see Komodo dragons, buffalos, monkeys and deers in this little island! Then we went to Pink beach, we could do snorkeling and relax in the beach. Last stop was Komodo Island, we did the short walk and it was a bit disappointing to be honest, we only saw one wild baby dragon. While in the boat, we could see and swim with white plankton at night and next morning we could see blue plankton next to the boat. That was pretty cool!  2nd day  We woke up 4:30 in the morning to go to Padar Island. We walked up to the view point to see the wonde

Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron - The Philippines

Something you have to do once in life...you probably end up repeating! Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron. We met at El Nido v an terminal at 7am in the morning and drove to Sibaltan where we took the boat. Day 1 First stop was Magransing Island with a sand bar where you could walk on it although tide was a bit high, we also did snorkeling and saw lots of fishes! Perfect place for a drone!!! We were the only ones in that island! We had lunch on the boat over looking at the secluded Tackling island, our second stop. Then we swam and relax on this remote island. We continued with the boat towards our next stop, cliff jumping at Doble nueve. After that we went to the campsite based at Patoyo island, where we had dinner and drinks before going to bed. Day 2 We woke up early to watch the beautiful sunrise and had an early breakfast before we got on the boat again at island time. We stopped in 4 different spots all at Linapacan and did snorkeling, swam i
