Chefchaouen, the Blue Pearl in Morocco
Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest city in Morocco. Located nestled in the Rif mountains, it’s characterized by bright-blue buildings and narrow alleys. The Andalusian influence mixes perfectly with Moroccan authenticity and the result is amazing. We reached Chefchaouen from Fez (you can read our experience in this city here).

A day trip from Bruxelles to Flemish cities of Ghent and Bruges
Belgium and its Flemish area Flanders is the northern region of Belgium and its more important cities are Ghent and Bruges. As I lived in Bruxelles for few months, I used to visit these cities from time to time. Bruxelles is the capital city of Belgium and its cosmopolitan atmosphere is what impressed me more. At the same time, it represents also the more problematic aspect because it’s not easy to talk about this city.
