A few months ago, while roadtripping in the USA, my friend Elif invited me for her wedding in Turkey. I had met Elif on a Couchsurfing meeting in Brussels in the summer of 2020, when the bars were open during the pandemic. Of course I immediately confirmed I was going to fly in to attend the big day.
As you may know, I cycled to Lviv and Ternopil in June in support of Ukraine. Many of my friends and family were worried about my trip to an active warzone. So I promised them to stay in the more safe West of Ukraine, far from the frontline. Unfortunately, or not, I found out it's possible to take an overnight sleeper train from Lviv to Kyiv.
Hello! I'm Maarten and I was cycling from Belgium to Ukraine during the War June 2022. You might think "To Ukraine? Are you crazy? Why?" I heard it all the time. First, yes, I might be a little crazy and I like a good challenge. In 2018 I cycled from Brussels to Saint-Petersburg in Russia in support of SOS Children's Villages.
Portsmouth is the second city of Dominica and a must visit when touring the island. I'm proposing four places to visit in just one day, all within walking distance. Get ready for a day of culture, nature and chilling at the beach, because Portsmouth has it all.
The hike to Middleham Falls was one of my favorite trips on Dominica. The waterfall is truly amazing and the fact that I was all alone made it even more unique.
