3 things that can make or break your Machu Picchu experience 👇🌧️ Prepare for unpredictable weather: Machu Picchu was built in a cloud forest, meaning rain can be part of the package anytime - even during the dry season. To be on the safe side, pack some waterproof gear like a light rain jacket or poncho. Note that you’ll need to check any large backpacks and can only bring small day bags into the site.
🏔️ Know the system: Machu Picchu is located above the town of Aguas Calientes in the Sacred Valley, not directly outside of Cusco as some people think. From Aguas Calientes, it’s possible to hike up to Machu Picchu though that’s a full day affair. Otherwise you’ll take about a 20 minute bus up the switchback road to Machu Picchu.
🫶Value your guide: Even if you're the independent traveler type, a licensed guide can really enhance your visit to Machu Picchu. Plus it’s required! Unlike many other museums and archeological sites, you won’t find any info boards or flashy exhibits. A knowledgeable guide can bring the stones to life!
And if you travel with us, we’ve got the BEST guide ready to share his wisdom! Want to learn more about our Machu Picchu trip? Tap the link in our bio. 🇵🇪

Embarking on a solo adventure in Morocco? Here’s a quick guide to make your journey safe, respectful, and unforgettable:✅ Understand the gender landscape: Morocco is still a very traditional society, and males and females have distinct roles and social preferences, so the concept of solo female travelers is quite foreign to the locals.
✅ Dress accordingly: Flowy, modest, and not form-fitting clothing is the key to better fit in and not receive unwanted attention.
✅ Stay Alert: This is just good travel advice in general, but always be aware of your surroundings. Don’t go on solo hikes or be alone in deserted places, dark alleys or out late at night.
✅ Be kind but not too friendly: A simple smile can be misinterpreted. Be kind, but maintain a respectful distance in interactions.
✅ Guard Your Phone: Be vigilant with your phone, especially in crowded places. A loop strap or travel scarf can be a lifesaver.
✅Stay Connected: Share your itinerary with someone back home and consider using location apps for safety.
✅ Empower Local Women: Engage with female-led cooperatives and guides. It’s a great way to support and connect!

Here’s exactly why Cyprus should be on your radar:
🥘 FOOD: Cyprus is where Greek and Middle Eastern flavors come together. Think meze dishes with olives, halloumi, and lush salads with a drizzle of local olive oil, souvlaki (grilled meat kebabs), and pita bread.
🥾HIKING: Hike mountains, wander through aromatic pine forests, or take a coastal walk to view the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.
🫶CULTURE: The heart and soul of Cyprus lie in its people and their traditions. From the lively folk dances and music to the warm hospitality you'll find in every village, the spirit of Cyprus is infectious!

What is slow travel?Slow travel is more than just a trend, it’s a transformative way to explore the world.
It's about diving deep into a region, wandering through remote towns, and taking the unbeaten path. This approach to travel gifts you with genuine cultural experiences, far richer than any hurried sightseeing tour could offer.
Here are 3 reasons why slow travel is the perfect pace:
💚 Eco-Friendly Exploration: Consider the environmental footprint of your journey. By choosing sustainable options like biking or walking, and engaging in local conservation, you're making travel kinder to our planet.
💆♀️ A Stress-Free Escape: Forget the hustle of ticking off every landmark. Slow travel is about unwinding, reducing anxiety, and truly enjoying your vacation without the burnout.
🌍 Cultural Immersion: Live like a local, not just a tourist. Slow travel opens doors to authentic experiences - from savoring local cuisine to understanding daily life and maybe even picking up a new language.
