Romance in Bali

Bali is a popular destination for honeymooners and people who are in love. For years I said to myself that I would save it for that trip with the right guy. I said that this wasn’t the place for a solo travel trip. But then I woke up one day and realized that while my…

Mexico City – Cultural Heaven

Last year I spent 3 weeks in Mexico City on a business trip with the group that runs the Mexican stock exchange. This was an ideal place to travel to. I knew very little about it and went with an open mind and let the experience form my opinion. Semi naked protests It seemed like every day or two…
