TAP Air Portugal Expands its Stopover Program
The first exposure I recall having with something Portuguese was Macao, Portugal’s former colony and present-day gambling hub, which I had visited while studying abroad in Hong Kong.

Having reaped the rewards of significantly reduced COVID-19 travel restrictions since 1 July, Thailand is planning to offer a temporary extension of the number of days tourists are allowed in the country. According to the Bangkok Post, from October 2022 until March 2023, those fans of Koh Samui, Phuket, and even Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin […]
Croatia gets a New Bridge; Bosnia gets a New Eyesore
Since the fall of Yugoslavia around 30 years ago, there has existed an unusual border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
