First off- yes Iceland is expensive. A lot more expensive than many other countries- BUT it does not have to be over the top expensive. I stayed in an apartment, which had 3 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom (my husband and I in one room and my mother in another, and another couple in the remaining). Food was expensive but we also bought some breakfast essentials at the local supermarket and made ourselves breakfast and also cooked dinner one night. We also rented a car and avoided paying lots more for a tour. So the money issue should not keep you from visiting! Overall Iceland’s landscapes and nature are like on another planet! Make sure you go on the Golden Circle! And go for a dip in the Blue Lagoon or Secret Lagoon.

I was in Ghana with my husband, who is Ghanaian, last month. We started our trip in Accra and I must say it was pretty awesome. The hustle and bustle of the city, the sound of waves at Labadi Beach, the welcoming people. We visited the Independence Square. The Black Star Gate (which symbolizes Ghanas Independence in 1957), Independence Arch, The Liberation Day Monument, and the Memorial to an unknown soldier, are all part of the Independence Square. A short walk away is the Arts and Culture Center, where you can check out all sorts of Ghanaian crafts, clothes etc (this one is catered more to visitors/tourists) We also visited the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park (which consist of his Mausoleum and a museum). And of course no trip to Accra is complete without Makola Market (this market is catered more to the locals), where you can pretty much find anything. They have a large variety of cloth, food, jewelry and anything else your heart desires! We did not get to do everything we wanted, since we spent most of our time in Kumasi, where my husband is from- but I can't wait to go back and explore more of Accra and Ghana in general. You should too!

Tulum was a beautiful trip! The small town def had a lot of hippy vibes and the people were so kind. We of course went to Matcha Mama and had a smoothie, which was delicious! We also went to the Tulum Ruins, which I highly recommend (just make sure to drink enough water and take some with you- once inside, you can't purchase any and it gets pretty hot!). When in Tulum you also have to go to a cenote. Grand Cenote is probably a must see for many (there are turtles there!!! and you are basically swimming with them) but also check out smaller, less popular cenotes.

Berlin is an ever evolving city, one that has something for everyone. If you're interested in history, there are plenty of museums and sites, where you can top up on your knowledge. If you are into nightlife and the clubbing scene- clubs and bars usually don't close until the morning light and there are so many clubs with different music genres. Shopping? There are 2 main shopping strips- Ku'Damm and Schlossstr. as well as many malls. Are you interested in arts? There is bound to be a gallery that you'll enjoy. Food? Being that Berlin is a melting pot of different cultures, you are bound to find a cuisine you enjoy. (My fave will forever and always be a good old Döner Kebab from the Döner shop at Rathaus Steglitz). I am a Berliner and I can say that Berlin is def one of my fave city's.
