What to See and Do at Every Destination
Me? I’ve still got a zillion places on my list. Saving and budgeting for them is tricky. Picking just one place out of a dozen is tricky. And there are a lot of places on this big beautiful planet of ours to see.
I also had fun writing about falling off a kayak in Mallorca, hearing ghost voices in Austria, eating brettlejause at a buschenschank in Graz and waking up in an igloo in India.
These are some of the places on my must-visit-soon list, because my friends have written great articles about them: Vietnam, Rotorua, Dagestan and Vilnius.
Here you’ll find destination guides and things to do – the posts that are about actually being somewhere, not just eating there.
