Roma, Rome, the Eternal City, where do I even begin. The bigest city in the world during the reign of the Roman Empire, it has witnessed so much history. Luckily, a lot of the old buildings, or in most cases whatever is left of them, have been really well preserved...

When we were doing our last dives, the dive master and skipper started telling us what else we should see in the area. One of the things they mentioned, was a visit to some caves filled with bats. After lot of explanations of how we should go about getting to the bat...

My main reason for going to Panama was to do my PADI Advanced Open Water certification. Bocas del Toro came up as one of the best places for diving, and there were several dive shops located there. I ended up doing my certification at La Buga, a fantastic dive shop...

While mostly being famous as a tax haven with beautiful beaches and great shopping, Grand Cayman also has some really nice dive spots. We had organised a shore dive one cruise, but the swells were too big and we had to cancel – the tenders could barely dock because of...

While cruising the Amazon River on a big ship is something really special, it is even more special to do so in the smaller local boats. I was lucky enough to go on a tour that would bring us into the smaller parts of the river to look for caimans, a type of alligator,...

When researching different tours to do in Iceland, one that really caught my eye was the trip to the south coast. With pictures of impressive waterfalls and a black sand beach I was sold. As with all other tours, they have a list of various pick up locations around...

Whenever I have been to Reykjavik with the ship, it seems like everyone does the Golden Circle tour. I decided I had to check out this tour as well, but went for the option that also takes you to a thermal pool. After picking everyone up at various bus stops around...
