Plan your next trip with the Karel 2.0 online planner - it's a breeze.
Destinations are at the heart of this blog. We’ve visited every place we write about ourselves we don’t copy anything from Wikipedia, and we don’t sugarcoat our experiences to make them sound like a “great vacation.” We write about what we saw, what went well, and what we’d do differently next time.
In this section, you’ll find guides to destinations from around the world Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. From major cities to national parks to coastal villages that haven’t yet been overrun by tourists. Each destination has its own section with tips on accommodations, transportation, food, and activities organized to save you time, not add to your worries.
Ad space: When planning our accommodations, we rely on Booking.com, we book guided tours through GetYourGuide, and we always compare flight prices on KAYAK. This isn’t an advertisement it’s just what we use ourselves.
Choose a continent, country, or city and start planning. Or just let yourself be inspired that’s a good place to start, too.
