Dark Restaurant Poznan: A Foodie Journey Into The Heart Of Darkness
The world is full of natural wonders, but some of the strangest experiences are concocted by the genius, and perhaps the insanity, of man.
When You Learn, Teach. When You Get, Give. – Maya Angelou
Since my first trip abroad to Vietnam when I was 20, I’ve been learning everything about traveling one flight at time. Tips, tricks, hacks, mistakes. They’re all a part of it. Most I learned from experiencing, some I learned from experts and those who came before me. And some from my fellow travelers. I learned how to travel for cheap. And then cheaper. I learned how to save time planning. Or not plan at all.
This is where I’m trying to do my part to give back and try to inspire a few of you to get out and plan that dream trip you’ve always wanted to do. You never stop learning. This is why I’m still in love with traveling after all these years. Everyday is a chance to encounter something new and experience something different. The world is just so big and it’s always changing. I’m doing my part to just ride this wave.

Between the rush of Taipei’s morning traffic and the trundling of stalls that signal the night markets coming to life, there’s hardly a moment to breathe in Taiwan’s cornerstone capital.
In the traveler’s never-ending battle to stay connected around the world, eSIMs have slowly begun to replace physical SIM cards. No longer do you need to swap out easy-to-misplace SIM cards when hopping from one country to the next.
I travel to Japan frequently and getting data for my phone is no longer as complicated as it once was. Still, the process is confusing enough for a perennial traveler, let alone someone visiting Japan for the first time.
Imagine a world without instant noodles. As early as I can remember, noodles came in a white styrofoam cup. You peel back the paper top, being careful not to tear it, and fill the cup up with steaming hot water.
Before my trip to Iceland, I asked, in a travel forum, whether the Blue Lagoon was worth visiting. The result was a passionate but divided debate with great arguments on both sides.
If you’re planning a trip to Nepal, you’re most likely here to do some trekking. And there’s no trek grander than the Annapurna Circuit that takes you up 5416m (17769 ft) and across 220 km (~137 mi) of remote mountains and villages, beginning in Besisahar and ending in Pokhara.
Planning ahead and having the the right gear while balancing need, practicality, and weight has really made traveling a lot less stressful and more efficient.
