Budapest is one of those cities that has a lot to offer but doesn’t require a great deal of time to enjoy. That makes it the perfect destination for a brief visit – two days to be exact! At first I was concerned that my 48 hours weren’t going to be enough for this excursion …
Every day I scroll through Instagram and discover amazing people who’re traveling the world and having wonderful adventures. They’re inspiring, creative, quirky, bold, fun and so many other positive things…but many of them…most of them…don’t look like me. And, of the ones that do, many of them don’t share my third-world born and bred background …

New year. New adventures. Bring it on! But where do you go? For some, the decisions of where and when have already been made. Kudos to you for getting a head start on your travel plans.

Untouched stretches of coastline will compel even the most lukewarm of beach enthusiasts to venture off the beaten path and …
The soulful booming of drums. The intricate steps of the ‘brush back’. Folktales of Anansi. Superstitions galore. Pomp. Circumstance. And even a little romance. You’ll get all that and more, if you venture to Tobago for the Tobago Heritage Festival. During the last two weeks in July, the destination hosts the annual Heritage Festival, and …
