Writing a welcome letter to my readers has been the hardest part of starting this blog. I want to share with you so many things about my exotic travels that I do not even know where to begin. My ultimate goal is to provide you with useful advice and in-depth information to fuel your outlandish adventures.
Destination reviews
Travel planning typically begins with choosing a destination, so this is one area to which I pay special attention. You will find here a great number of reviews to help you pick the right spot for your upcoming adventures. However, please do keep in mind that the term “exotic travel” carries a strong subjective connotation. For instance, some of you may use it to describe a luxurious vacation in a tropical paradise, while others may refer to a tenting trip in Mongolia. In any case, this blog will present you with a truly diverse array of options to choose from.
Most of the articles are based on my personal experience, which I have acquired throughout my abundant travels across the world. While touring the globe, I have gained profound expertise in evaluating all sorts of exotic locations. Therefore, I use my knowledge to also review several places which I have not visited personally yet but plan to do so soon.
Tickets and transportation
Transportation is a huge issue when it comes to travelling. Many people find it stressful to plan a route and buy plane tickets. The goal of this blog is to provide you with sufficient information and handy tips to turn this process into an easy and enjoyable experience. Some exotic destinations are more popular than others, and it is quite easy to reach them. As you will observe for yourself, however, other locations are little known, and travelling to them might be a little tricky.
In addition, arriving at your destination is not the only issue when it comes to transportation. You have to be aware of how you are going to move inside the country you are visiting. This includes public transportation, rent-a-car, and so on. Therefore, my reviews feature a holistic approach to mobility.
Housing
Housing is another essential aspect of travelling abroad. Now, most people might think that exotic vacations need to necessarily feature a stay at an expensive hotel or a posh resort. However, this could not be farther from the truth. Many articles on this blog will show you that you do not need to go broke to pay for your housing. In fact, some of my most exotic journeys have included staying at Airbnb properties and hostels.
Also, you might find it beneficial to mingle with the locals more, and that is not fully possible if you are going to stay in a closed-off resort all the time. Therefore, I will also present you with meaningful ways to socialize and get to know the residents of the exotic destination. This also includes relevant advice on cultural differences.
Safety and security
As a single woman who is used to mostly travelling alone, I take the issue of safety very seriously. I observe plenty of precautions, all of which I describe in detail on this blog. Please bear in mind that some destinations, which are typically considered exotic, are highly unsafe. Setting aside conflict zones, there are many countries and cities with high crime rates, where you need to be extra careful. Throughout this blog, you will encounter many times the reoccurring topic of staying safe at all times.
Things to do
What could be more exciting than exploring the beauty of your exotic destination and uncovering the hidden treasures it can offer? The official tour guides are packed with popular activities and must-see landmarks. That is why this blog focuses more on the less known experiences and sights.
Dining and cuisine
You cannot get a proper taste of a place if you have not tried the local food. The way a meal smells and touches the palate can tell us so much about where we are. To me, this is what makes the entire experience complete and authentic. Therefore, this blog will give you up-to-date and practical advice about the best dining options at all reviewed destinations. You will also find many native recipes for you to recreate at home to help you relive your exotic adventures over and over again.
