When I was a kid, I used to love watching I Dream of Genie. I grew up thinking that genies were actually real, and that made me want to travel to the Arab world to get myself one. I was young and naïve, and this dream of mine lasted up until I was around 12. I however still wanted to visit Morocco, one of those countries that seemed so exotic  [ Read More ]

I love California, perhaps due to the act that it reminds me so much of Miami. I have friends all over the country, so when a friend of mine called me to tell me he was getting married, I wasted no time in booking a ticket with the Red Eye out of Miami and made my way to Glendale, California. It was one of those great flights where everyone behaved.  [ Read More ]

I love Europe, perhaps because of the fact that some of the greatest architecture and art I’ve experienced has been from there. I got the chance to spend my Christmas in London, thanks to my friend who studies at Oxford. For those of you who don’t know, Oxford is considered as one of those Ivy League colleges in the UK, and for you to get in, you’ll have to be  [ Read More ]

I’ve been in Miami for a couple of months now, and I know people think it’s all fun and games and Disney World in this sunny Oceanside city, but the truth is, given the fact that there are a lot of senior citizens who come down here to spend the remainder of their sunset years, scum of the earth that prey on the weak and old seem to get attracted  [ Read More ]

So, I had the opportunity to visit Hungary two summers back, and I was so excited at the prospect of visiting my ancestral land (my great grandfather was born and raised here, and I had planned to go visit my distant relatives for the longest time, but I never really got round to it, until a series of chance events made this trip of a lifetime possible). So, I packed  [ Read More ]

I love Africa. There’s something about this continent that just feels right. The epic sunsets, sprawling savannas and diverse wildlife has always meant that I have enjoyed myself every time I’ve been there. Just recently, I packed my bag and headed to central Africa – specifically Bujumbura.   This is the capital of Burundi, a small French-speaking country that is set in the middle of a series of hills and  [ Read More ]

I love islands, and any place that’s tropical, and within walking distance from a beach. I remember growing up, thinking that the Caribbean Islands were homes to pirates a la Jack Sparrow and the like. As I grew older, my fascination with this region grew and grew until when I decided to take my first trip to the Caribbean, almost ten years ago . My first destination was the Bahamas,  [ Read More ]

So, everyone I know has been to Thailand, and when I first made my plans to head to this exotic destination, I remember not being able to sleep in the days leading up to my Thailand adventure. However, I had planned something that wasn’t going to be all touristy and stuff- I was going to stay away from the hotspots and try out something that was different and unexpected. I  [ Read More ]

  So, in my exploits as an international traveler, I decided to take a break from doing it big to concentrate on the local scene. I decided to take a weekend trip to go see my uncle who stays in Boca Raton, which is only a few hours from where I live. What I love about Baca Raton is the fact that it’s conservative and progressive at the same time.  [ Read More ]
