What is the best way to spend your layover in a foreign country that you have never visited it before? Of course to extend your layover and grab a free perk while you are at it if you ask me. So, on my trip to Asia, I decided to extend my stay and enjoyed three days in Doha. Keep in mind that Qatar requires a visitor from most countries to have a visa to enter the country.

While a stay at spa hotel was really nice, staying in a villa is a way to go for a full experience of Bali. Continue reading

The Eben Ice cave is one of those natural wonders that leave you speechless when you see it. This Ice cave offers more than just an amazing view. The hiking trail that leads to the cave also offers a nice view. I think it’s worth the hike whenever you are in Upper Peninsula. Definitely it is worth a drive whenever you are in Michigan in the winter time. As for me, it was worth the flight to Michigan to explore the Eben Ice Cave this winter season. Now that I intrigue you with this must do thing in winter time, you might want to know on how to get to there? Where to stay? And what to prepare for the smooth hike? For real, this is not a walk in the park, nor it is an easy hike. Continue reading
