Iceland is on the cards later this month and we can’t wait to get to the ‘land of fire and ice’. Hopefully, we would be able to walk in an ice cave and witness a volcanic eruption.

There is such a lot to do here – riding a camel while on a desert safari, jumping into the warm sea water while cruising the sea with the dolphins by your side, releasing new born turtles into the lap of...

“Whenever we travel in a new place, we look forward to eating popular dishes of the local cuisine. More than checking out the famous landmarks, museums or places that come highlighted in travel guides, food is bound to make a better introduction to a new land. It connects you to the local culture immediately and it allows you to understand how people live. Very often, this connection can be found in its most authentic form...
