Costa Navarino: an ode to Greece 3

Costa Navarino: an ode to Greece

Last June, I took a short break from work and went on a trip to Messenia, a region in the southwest of the Greek Peloponnese. It’s home to Costa Navarino, a luxury travel destination I had already visited a couple of years ago. I can confirm, after staying at a Costa Navarino hotel for the second time, that Costa Navarino has mastered the craft of relaxed and understated Greek luxury. This is probably why the likes of Ronaldo and NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo like this place so much. If you want to know more about my stay at Costa Navarino, the room and the activities: read on!

The OPPO Find X5 Pro: is it my new travel photography companion? 4

The OPPO Find X5 Pro: is it my new travel photography companion?

Last week I became the proud owner of a brand new OPPO Find X5 Pro, the new flagship phone from the trendy mobile communications company OPPO. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t planning on changing phones at the moment as the smartphone I had was only a few months old. But the opportunity came and it was too good to let it pass. Besides, I heard great things about the built-in camera! And since I was leaving for Mallorca a few days later, I was excited to see how it would perform on my trip there. Did I like using it? and even more, would I dare to take on the challenge of leaving my camera home and shooting pictures only with the OPPO Find X5 Pro?

Santa got me the most amazing gift this year! One cold morning in December, I found a large box underneath the Christmas tree.

My top 3 activities in Tenerife

For some people, Tenerife is the perfect island to spend a couple of weeks in an all-inclusive luxury

need to worry! Quite the contrary, the Canary island of Tenerife is one of the most beautiful
destinations for activity holidays. Here’s my top 3. Your next adventure starts in Tenerife!

Driving the Panorama Route in South Africa 17

Driving the Panorama Route in South Africa

The Panorama Route is one of the most famous roads in South Africa. With views for days and impressive waterfalls, it’s not rocket science why they call this the Panorama Route. When you’re in the area, you should absolutely visit some viewpoints along this route. It can easily be combined with a safari experience at the nearby Kruger National Park. In case you’re on a tight schedule as I was, it’s good to know that the route can be done in one day, but I recommend you to start early in the morning. All viewpoints are already open at 7 AM and the sun is already high up in the sky by that time.
