Travel Guide: Positano, Italy
John Steinbeck once said, “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” Honestly I couldn’t agree more.

Travel Guide: Iceland
Let start off by saying that I travelled to Europe for the first time as a broke and basic 20-year-old, via Icelandair’s stopover program.

Travel Guide: Vietnam
