10 Days in Phuket: Relaxation and Adventure
With white-sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise water, palm trees, and a unique exotic vibe, Phuket, Thailand is a dream destination and a top choice when it comes to exploring Thailand’s beautiful islands. I can still feel the hot breeze in my hair and the taste of freshly juiced exotic fruits. After four nights spent in the busy Bangkok, we were so excited to escape the capital’s hustle-and-bustle and the fear caused by the first coronavirus cases, and spend ten well-deserved days on the beach with a book, a cocktail or a beer in our hands. You can read about our experience in Bangkok here: Read: Bangkok: Expectation vs. Reality Read:…

How We Got Scammed in Bangkok
Bangkok is full of surprises; this is the reason why so many people love it. But scams are some of them. I have written this article two months after our visit to Thailand and I have realized how many things I would have done differently. Traveling is not always pretty, but every experience teaches you new lessons. No matter how well-prepared we were before visiting the capital of Thailand, yes, we got scammed. After our experience, I suggest you take some time before planning a trip to Thailand and read carefully plenty of blog posts and watch vlogs with REAL experiences not only presentations of the most popular attractions. I…

Bangkok – Expectations vs. Reality
Hello, my lovely petites! It took me a while to find the words to describe my petite traveler adventures in Thailand, so this is the first article of a series because there is a lot to recount. When you say Bangkok, you probably picture glorious skyscrapers, green parks, fascinating temples, friendly people and the world’s best food. At least, this is what I thought about it. I’ll be honest: Bangkok is nothing like I’ve imagined. Thailand was on our travel list for a long, long time. Actually, when we started freelancing in the summer of 2019, we were sure we wanted to move to Thailand for at least three months.…

Our Adventure In Tenerife
Hola my Petites! Since our adventure in Tenerife has ended for the moment, I wanted to share with you this fabulous experience. At the beginning of 2019, we (me and Alex) didn’t know how many things were about to happen and change our lives. And here we are, at the end of the year and of a decade, grateful for one of the most fascinating experiences of our lives – our 2.5 months adventure in Tenerife. How it all started? With a failed attempt to go to Thailand for more than 15 days (we didn’t give up this idea, either). Our desire was to make the most of our new…

Petite Traveler Problems and How to Solve Them
How many times have you felt insecure and overwhelmed while traveling, because of your short height? I tell you from my own experience that sometimes traveling as a petite was a burden, from finding the right backpack to carrying the heavy luggage and manipulating the baggage into the overhead space. Planes are not designed for people our size. Of course, there are also many advantages petite persons have while traveling, for example, you don’t have to worry about leg space, unlike tall persons, you can easily fit into your chair and you can even enjoy a nap during the flight which is great for me as a petite – I…
