In my opinion, Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia is an underrated city. This charming city with its colorful old town and hill top castle is conveniently located close to the borders of 3 central European countries, Given its close proximity to these countries, especially to Austria and Hungary, Bratislava makes a super easy and much quieter side trip from either of these places. I visited Bratislava from Vienna which was just an hour’s bus ride away and stayed overnight to really see and enjoy all the wonderful things Bratislava has to offer. This post covers how to spend one full day in Bratislava.

Aptly nicknamed the Blue Pearl of Morocco, Chefchaouen is a must see place that you should add to your travel bucket list. Situated in the Northwestern region of Morocco, this blue washed city dates all the way back to the 1400s. There are many theories as to why the walls may be blue in color. Some say it was painted blue by Jewish settlers who fled from Spain during the Spanish Reconquista while some others say that it is to drive the mosquitoes away. Another famous theory is that the blue is said to symbolize the sky and heaven and serves as a reminder to lead a spiritual life. Whatever the theory might be, there is no doubt that Chefchaouen is one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco. Here are 30 pictures to inspire you to visit Chefchaouen.

I now have a mirrorless camera but I still continue to use my Android smartphone out of habit (probably something I won’t stop doing in a hurry).
