I’ve now visited the region quite a few times, and I should be able to say I know it reasonably well; but it has a certain mysterious quality th ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)!
