Quick Guide: Peterhof Palace

Saint Petersburg is one of my favorite cities so far, it has a mix of old and new with many buildings that represented a design aesthetic of its epoch and palaces turned into museums. I also had this impression that the entire city is one big museum. During my visit, I went on a day trip to Peterhof Palace.

Travel Guide: Kanas Lake

Kanas Lake is arguably one of the most beautiful parks I've seen in Asia. It takes a lot of time and effort to get there, but is definitely worth it. My friend and I should've stayed longer, but there's always next time. Here's a guide for your planned trip.

Travel Guide: Okayama

Okayama was on my itinerary during my return trip to Kansai, I was unable to go last time because of time constraints.

Visit These Attractions with Your JR Kansai WIDE Area Pass

Japan offers different kinds of passes and cards to make traveling within regions and across the country easier for foreign visitors. One of the options you have when you visit the country is the JR Kansai Wide Area Pass. This allows you to explore Kansai and other areas. I used this pass recently and came up with a list of places you can include in your itinerary.

Travel Guide: Vladimir, Russia

I was in Russia for almost a month and one of my stops was Vladimir, the latter is one of the Golden Ring Cities. I was looking for a small town vibe away from the bustling city of Moscow, and I got just what I was looking for with my trip here.
