Ayutthaya is Thailand's secret. More than secret, I venture to say Ayutthaya has simply been forgotten. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Siam, time has forsaken it into oblivion.

Well, maybe I'm exaggerating. Though the odd truth is that it took three trips to Thailan...

My first glimpse of the majestic Victoria Falls was from the plane. That's how massive they are. They are neither the tallest nor the widest falls in the world, yet they are classified as the largest – due to the sheer amount of water. And, unlike Niagara and Iguazu, t...

I don't know where to begin. It's hard to write about Namibia, especially because I've nothing to compare it with. 

Namibia in general, and Sossusvlei in particular, is like stepping into a different planet. Mars, to be specific. Everything has a reddish hue to it, the...

Romania doesn't tend to be at top of people's traveling lists (though I hear that's changing). And for those that are interested, they will be advised to spend as little time in Bucharest as possible and to head straight to Transylvania. 

Transylvania is amazing, but Bu...

I already ache to return. 

Bali, known as a tropical paradise, is so much more than that. A land of volcanoes, temples, and fascinating traditions... it's hard to describe. 

I suppose the only accurate way to put it is that Bali is the sum total of all its elements,...

We could see Abu Simbel from the plane. Yes, it's that big. 

After a over a week in Egypt – a week of gigantic temples, delicate hieroglyphics, beautiful views – it was Abu Simbel that took the crown. Breathtaking doesn't begin to cover it. 

Built more than three thousan...

At Sera Monastery in the outskirts of Lhasa, we got to witness a curious spectacle: a Buddhist Debate. 

So, what makes it special? It's conducted in a peculiar manner. The monks (in this case numbering hundreds), alternate between student and teacher. They ask each othe...

For two days now, the shadow of the Potala Palace hung over us. From every corner of Lhasa, we could see this white-and-red giant, and we couldn't wait to finally climb. 

The Potala is a monster. 13-stories high, it has over 1000 rooms and was, at one point, the tallest...

Once known as the 'Forbidden Kingdom', few people ever got to see Tibet, even before the 21st century. 4000 meters high, it's crazy inaccessible. And the truth is there's no place in the world quite like it. 

Our first day in this 'Roof of the World', we...

Our trip to Lhasa began long before we arrived. 

It started with a growing desire, nurtured in Bhutan, transformed itself into anxiety for all the paperwork and restrictions imposed on Tibet-bound travellers. And finally, a sort of quiet rapture, a growing conviction: '...
