Best Places To Visit in Cape Town
Cape Town is said to be one of the world’s beautiful cities and it truly is. I’ve been there twice and can’t wait to visit again! I have a thing for cities with quick access to mountains and beaches. Rio De Janeiro is another similar city that I like. If you’re trying to figure out when to visit, summer time in Cape Town is November through February with average temperatures of 73 °F (23 °C). May through August is winter time with average temperatures of 55 °F (13 °C). I haven’t been to all the tourist attractions but below are some of them. Some of these places will be better…

Fun Things To Do In Antigua
Have you heard of Antigua and Barbuda? Not Antigua in Guatemala. When I told people I was visiting Antigua, 99% of them have never heard of the country. It’s 324 miles from Puerto Rico. East of US Virgin Islands and North of Barbados. Here it is on the map: If you are wanting to avoid the resort route, I’d advise you don’t.

I will admit that if I stayed an additional 3 days or more, I would have trouble finding enough things to do within Antigua. Antigua has a…

There is nowhere like Africa. Obviously I am biased, but there is truth to that. It is a continent (NOT a country) that encompasses a wide variety of cultures, ecosystems, languages, and religions. Although Africa continues to be exploited by foreign interests, it has the potential to be great. Just to give you some context, this trip was not my first time on the continent. But it was my first time exploring the continent alone. Nigeria was my very first encounter of Africa. Lived there for 2.5 years at age 7 and was last there in 2015. Countries visited: South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho* Total time spent: 5 weeks…

One Day Cooking Class in Italy With Sapori e Saperi
Maybe it’s just me, but I noticed how oversaturated the cooking class business in Italy is. Too many to choose from depending on what you’re looking. And the cuisine varies from region to region. I wanted a culinary experience that was true to my stance on food. How food is produced affects its quality and it matters. We all deserve to eat good, high-quality food. In my opinion, Sapori e Saperi was worth every nickel and dime. They believe in connecting people with artisanal food producers (farm-to-table), which I find to be better and more interesting.
