When leaving the Warsaw airport, if you want to catch the bus into town, don’t follow the ‘coach’ signs- they lead you to the long distances buses. When I went through the doors at arrivals, there wasn’t clear signage- but I always say that when I don’t pay attention and put 2% effort into looking

Yes, our inca trail tour company (Orange Nation) did provide snacks. I know that is your biggest concern before you’re about to hike 43 kilometers over 4 days, in savagely high altitudes with a broken tailbone.

Our route: arrival in Lima A rough 12h and 30 minutes later about mid-afternoon, I arrived in Lima from Amsterdam. I exchanged my

It was my first Oktoberfest (I know, right? I’m just as shocked)- I went from September 28-October 1 2023. It’s right up my alley- German drinking, hearty German food, traditional German attire. Delightful. I went to Munich with a couple of beauties, who happen to both speak German- one of which was a frequent flyer
