    Why you can’t skip visiting Gozo, Malta

    October 30, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Gozo, Malta is the country’s second largest island, located a short ferry ride to the north. The little island is also a must-visit for those visiting Malta. After our half day trip in Mdina, we headed back to Valletta, grabbed a late lunch, and hopped on the bus to Cirkewwa. From Cirkewwa, we got on the ferry to Gozo at sunset, arriving at Mgarr just after dark. We spent the next couple of day exploring this lovely little place, finding it had much more to offer than we initially thought. *Disclosure: this post contains some affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if…

    How to Pack for Two Weeks in a Carry on

    September 16, 2019 / 3 Comments

    Is it possible to pack for two weeks or more just using your carry-on allowance? Of course it is, but you’ll need some expert packing tips to pull it off. I’m packing for a three-week trip to Australia – in a 40L backpack. I did the same when I went to Vietnam and Sri Lanka. In fact, the last time I checked a suitcase was for the US about 5 years ago. That was because I wanted to bring back some of my belongings I’d left at my parents’ house. For some, packing using only your cabin bag allowance sounds routine. But here’s the full disclosure: I don’t think I’m…
