The mantas of Hanifaru bay

One of the things that made it to my bucket list when I came here is swimming in a lagoon surrounded by manta rays. And there's one place to do that without having to go scuba diving: Hanifaru bay, off Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll. There are many places...

Best fun at Expo 2020

Dubai itself is already filled with cheesy irresistible experiences; and at the Expo it was hard to compete with those. By fun, I mean experiences, out of the ordinary settings and interactivity. I personally really enjoyed the Hungary pavillon, themed...

Expo 2020 - Which countries promoted tourism best

It's true that many expected country pavilions to showcase their best of, what they are famous for and promote tourism. With the general themes it was not easy to do so. Against all odds, after visiting the expo stands, the countries I wanted to visit...

Fuvamulah - Tiger Sharks and more

No, this island/atoll in the South of the Maldives is not one for honeymooners. Fuvamulah is about 1.5 hours by plane from Male's International Airport. Fuvamulah is a standalone island in the middle of the Idian Ocean. It is large, both in terms of population...

Flirting with modern architecture

Because it's quite hard to decide which pavillons were the best at Expo 2020 and why, I will mention them according to criteria. Here I chose the ones that were the most stunning from the outside, architecturally that is. In the first place, comes the...

Dhigurah - empty beaches and clear waters

A part of the Maldivian travel concept is based on the Robinson Crusoe story. Long beaches, a small jungle and a neverending ocean. Dhigurah island conveys that sense of solitude and beauty. In Divehi, Dhigurah means 'long island' and it is definitely...

Which resort to choose

To find out if your hotel is on a local island or if it is a resort on a private island, the best is to check on Google maps. Typically the name of the resort would be that of the island and there would be only facilities of the hotel such as restaurants,...

Plumeria - Thinadhoo Vaavu Atoll

We first heard about Plumeria while looking for a resort online, and were surprised by the incredible deals. It's on a small local island, Thinadhoo, in Vaavu Atoll, an atoll that Maldivians affectionately call Wow atoll. And for good reason! There are...

The most instagrammable pavilions among those I visited were those of Singapore, Morocco and Oman. Singapore evolved around green technology, upside down mirrors and beautiful plants. Morocco had a mix of new technology exhibits, traditional moroccan...

Nature and thrills in Ras el Khaimah

Traveling to the Maldives

We moved to the Maldives in 2020, that's right in the middle of the pandemic. I remember seeing that airplane screen with the map, and thinking: the plane will land in the ocean! These numerous and tiny islands were to become our home for the coming years....

Fulidhoo - Vaavu Atoll

After quarantine, this was our first trip to a local island, right after inter-island travel was allowed. It is so quiet as compared to other islands. A small school, a mosque, a dive center, fishermen and not much going on. Fulidhoo is the first island...

Best of Expo 2020 - Technology and content

I've got to say one of the pavillons really stood out: The Mobility Pavillon, heart of the Mobility sector. It's the only pavillon I visited twice. You can still go back to the Expo 2020 App for a virtual visit. It started with a pitch black moving cinema...

Dubai day 1

What you can do in one depends on how close the attractions are, taking into consideration Dubai is huge and there are many different areas. Start by one museum (I would recommend Museum of the future - book ahead) and then head to the Dubai Mall for...

Discovering old Dubai - Day 2

A few authentic neighborhoods remain in Dubai, places where you can walk in open air souks without AC, in narrow streets without parking lots. One of those is Bastakiya. Explore the alleyways, and don't forget to look up, the houses have wind towers,...

What's to see in Abu Dhabi

If Dubai is the young dizzying heart of the UAE, Abu Dhabi has all the maturity and the charisma of a wise man. Ever since the Emirati branch of the Louvre was open I was tempted to go there. I did not suspect the Grand Mosque to be this Grand and thankfully...

What to do in the UAE

Whether you've been to the UAE or not, you almost certainly have an opinion about Dubai. Love it or hate it, this city is the symbol of bold superlatives, bling bling and shopping. I had visited Dubai 10 years ago, and wanted mostly to visit Expo 2020...

Enjoying Kyoto's cultural marvels

Mrs. Tani has prepared fresh little green bread-like bums on the table. My guessing bite uncovers a dark brown paste on the inside. Strange funny taste I thought, but managed to finish it. Black bean paste and jams are widely used here with what we think...
