Border crossing from Copacabana, Bolivia to Puno, Peru
The orange bus that I boarded near the central of the town drove for about 10mins to the Bolivia-Peru border. The driver explains what we have to do: firstly get off and get your passport stamped at the Bolivian border. Then walk about 300m down to the Peruvian border to get stamped again. I had read online to carry my backpack with me when crossing border, and…

4 places that I want to Visit in Japan
NYC, continued.
Preface – I originally started writing this in the thick of winter. It is now Spring, making all talk of snow redundant. The lesson – I need to finish what I start on a more timely basis!

Given the conditions, today is not the day to go wandering the weekend markets so instead, I’m currently cosily holed up inone of my favourite local cafesPaper & Cup(which, btw, isa wonderful not-for-profit neighbourhood initiative that also sellslocal art and 2nd hand books).
Another place that’s been seeing some snowy action at the moment is New York, and with that…

An Overnighter’s guide to Stockholm, Sweden
I had always wanted to visit Sweden for one reason. The meatballs.
I was lucky enough to get a visa for Europe and I immediately booked flights to Stockholm. It was easy to find flights from JFK-New York and low-cost carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle has many outbound flights to the Nordic countries. I booked my stay at Skanstulls Hostel which I think was in a very convenient location. I spent less than US$30 per night for this hostel!
The accommodations at Skanstulls was amazing but there was one thing that I could not handle during my stay. There are only two frosted glass cubicles and showers are public. If you intend to take a bath during peak hours, get ready to leave your comfort zone. I had no choice but to wait until the frosted glass cubicle were empty just so I could do my morning routine!
My trip to Sweden…

Nepal’s Secret Weapon: The best thing about Nepal
What’s the best thing about Nepal? Nope……it’s not Everest! OK…the dream of seeing Everest may be the big attraction for the first time visitor to Nepal, but I’ll wager that Nepal’s “secret” weapon is the fondest and most lingering memory.
This “secret” weapon is usually the reason tourists fall in love with Nepal.
