This is basically a season of Idiot Abroad. But without the complaining, and with significantly more comfortable hotels. VeryFirstTo has out together a magical journey that visits every World Heritage site. It’s a short, sharp bucket list. And by “short”, we mean it lasts for two years. Over the course of the trip, travelers visit [...]
I honestly believe that some people have spent more on car guards in a week. Seriously. How does a plane ride and transfers ALONE come to less than R7,000? I think it’s time you got the hell out of town and took a break..
