The Magic of Mont Saint-Michel | A UNESCO World Heritage Site
I believe it would be fair to express that viewing images of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France are stirring and magical.

Visiting the Red Sea | Egypt vs. Jordan
“I will return.” Those were the words that I had played over in my mind when I left the Red Sea back in 2016. At that time, I was visiting from Jordan and I had no idea that my next visit would be from the shores of Egypt. Both Jordan and Egypt are wonderful places…

CONTE Restaurant | Perfection in Perast, Montenegro
There are a few moments in life when the world seems perfect, and one of those moments for me was in Montenegro. Not just during this seaside lunch in Perast, but my entire visit to the Balkan State of Montenegro was extraordinary. The Region of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is lined with well-preserved…
