In the Ribeira Sacra region of Galicia, Spain, the first place I visited was the Monastery of San Pedro de Rocas, which still retains its Romanesque style. This monastery is one of the oldest in Galicia, built in the 6th century.

Palestine - Jericho, the oldest city ever?

But it claims to be “the oldest city of the world”, as our guide it stated proudly too. However, the findings and some walls are dated back around 10’000years BCE.

monastry in kalimpong

the place was so serene, i wish i couldve stayed here longer. cotton candy clouds, cold winds blowing our scarves away, little boys running around and then controlling their pace when they see their elders.

Greece - Classic, and yet, surreal

I wanted a dose of history, mountains, and beaches over outstanding food, but still, laidback. So, I picked Greece. I whittled my cities down to Meteora for the mountains and monasteries, Athens for the history, and, Santorini for the beaches. The closest airport to Meteora is Thessaloniki. So I added it to the list. Delphi was on the way to Athens, or so I thought. So, that too. Odeon of…
