We walked 120 km from Berlin to Bad Wilsnack on the Camino de Santiago.
We never saw another pilgrim.
The route is quiet, well marked & easy to reach by public transport – but also has very few benches, almost no toilets & some very basic accommodation.

Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?
Our answer is complicated:
Favourite city: Ho Chi Minh City
Favourite region: Northern Vietnam
Here’s our honest comparison 👇

North or South Vietnam?
We’ve travelled through both – if we had to choose, we’d pick the north.
Mountains, rice terraces, small towns + plenty of opportunities to get out and explore.
But if beaches + big cities are more your thing, the south might win.

One of our favourite Puerto Escondido experiences happens after dark.
No fancy beach club.

No Instagram-worthy restaurant.
Just a dark lagoon, warm water and bioluminescence lighting up around you as you move.

Not quite sure why all of this of necessary to join the @Airbnb creator program...
We travelled across Mexico without flying – only by bus! Mexico’s bus system surprised us.
Comfortable overnight buses, cheap colectivos, organised terminals – and very loud movie marathons.
If you’re planning Mexico, here’s what bus travel is really like:

But shared cabins, changing weather, and zero privacy at times definitely aren’t for everyone.
Here’s our honest review:
