I am an Emirati foodie who was bit by the travel bug a couple of years ago.
Feel free to recommend your favorite restaurants and hotels for me to review!

All in Hotel
I found myself in Oslo with no time to spare and a lot to do. I ended up loving my short time there from the hotel to the performances to the food and the museums, a real city keeps humming on even when it's cold outside.
The Norway in a Nutshell website is relatively easy to use but you need to research all your options before you go to purchase the tour route that you prefer. I have broken down the elements of the tour, given a quick overview of the tour and my suggestions of what elements to use.
Of all the nicknames I have come across for San Fran, I think “the city that knows how” is the most relevant. This city clearly knows how to pick itself right back up after a disaster, dust itself off and keep on walking, and that is exactly what I loved about it. It is not a perfectly laid out plan but it is quite easy to get around and there is just enough history and architectural beauty to keep you coming back for more. The steep hills will have you working up an appetite, but for those who are less inclined to walk, the transportation system is easy to figure out.
I was so excited to visit LA for the first time this year. After a little bit of research, I decided to stay at The Line Hotel in Koreatown. I also took some time to visit the Santa Monica Pier and the amazing LACMA, follow the link for more information of where to stay, how to get around LA and what you MUST do.
Long before I ever thought of starting a blog, I took a trip to Seville, Spain and fell in love with an old palace that was converted into a hotel. The Hotel Alfonso XII was built in 1920s but was renovated in 2012. The palace was built in the Andalusian style and the building frames a stunning patio and fountain.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, where you stay when you're on an island is super important as you will tend to spend most of your time at the resort. Due to the short tenure of our trip, we opted to forgo the tourist hotspots such as the Mama & Papa Rocks and the National Marin Park Day-tour which sounds amazing, so what did we do other than lounge by the pool? Got massages of course! I tried the spa at the Le Meridien as well as the one at the Six Senses.
How to get robbed in Bangkok
Within my first hour in the capital of Thailand, I managed to have 3,000 Baht stolen from me!
As soon as my friends and I got our luggage in BKK, we headed to the taxi line and were quickly assigned a cab. The cab driver was a little odd, claiming not to understand English then radioing in to the cab company and asking them IN ENGLISH how to get to our hotel.
