My experiences, not a guarantee
The videos, blog posts and tips on this site come from my own trips. Prices, opening hours, visa rules, transportation and safety conditions change often, and what worked for me may not work for you. Always check official sources, like an embassy, airline or attraction website, before you book or travel.
