]]> Mérida, often called the “White City” because of its gleaming limestone buildings, is a treasure trove of history mixed with modern flair. From strolling along elegant boulevards to exploring museums that dive deep into Mayan culture, there’s no shortage of incredible sights. Here are a few of our favorites.

Paseo de Montejo

Paseo de Montejo is Merida’s most famous avenue. It actually took inspiration from the Champs-Élysées in Paris! The avenue is lined with grand mansions that hark back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the city experienced a boom from henequen production. Paseo de Montejo is perfect for a leisurely stroll under the shade of towering trees. 

Gran Museo del Mundo Maya

The Great Museum of the Mayan World houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Mayan artifacts in Mexico. It offers insights into the lives, culture, and contributions of the Mayan civilization. 

Catedral de San Ildefonso

Located in the heart of Merida on Plaza Grande, the Catedral de San Ildefonso stands as one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas. It was built in the late 16th century using stones from Mayan temples. This historic church is a blend of architectural styles that is definitely worth the visit.

]]> If you’re interested in exploring the world as a solo traveler, then you probably realize that things might feel a little different compared to when you travel with family and friends. Still, by visiting the right places, solo trips can be just as fun and fulfilling, albeit in a different way. Here are some of the best places to visit as a solo traveler.

Portugal

Filled with mystical castles, palaces, hiking trails, and rolling hills, Portugal is an ideal country to visit if you would like to bask in nature. What’s more, there is plenty of delicious local food to bite down on, such as the creamy pastel de nata dessert, and plenty of seafood.

Japan

What’s great about this East Asian nation is its high level of safety, making it ideal for female solo travelers and anyone not wanting to look over their shoulder. In fact, there are female-only train carriages, making travel safer for women looking to explore the country on their own. What’s more, dining alone is viewed as normal in Japan, meaning you don’t have to feel awkward as you sit on your own.

Guatemala

With its growing amount of hostels and tour routes throughout its cities and nature, this Central American paradise is perfect for a tropical yet active vacation. From Lake Atitlán to the pyramids of Tikal, Guatemala is filled with wondrous sights that will be sure to create a holiday to remember.

But what if we told you there are still undiscovered slices of paradise? Let’s dive into some of the most underrated beaches around the globe.

Salema, Portugal

Salema is a quaint fishing village with a stunning stretch of golden sand. Unlike its more famous neighbors, this beach is a peaceful retreat with the charm of traditional Portuguese life. The cliffs surrounding Salema provide a dramatic backdrop and the clear, calm waters make it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. 

Koh Kood, Thailand

While Thailand’s beaches are no secret to the world, Koh Kood remains one of the country’s most overlooked treasures. Koh Kood is the epitome of an island paradise, with fewer tourists and a slower pace of life. You can enjoy snorkeling, diving, and exploring the island’s waterfalls.

Playa de los Muertos, Mexico

Despite its ominous name (Beach of the Dead), Playa de los Muertos in Sayulita is a lively and colorful beach experience. This hidden beach is less crowded than other spots along Mexico’s Pacific Coast, offering golden sands and excellent conditions for swimming and surfing.

]]> In Panama, the search for the perfect cup of coffee reaches new heights. In fact, it’s home to one of the world’s most expensive and sought-after coffees at up to $110 a cup! Let’s take a closer look at this luxury drink.

The Allure of Panama’s Exclusive Coffee

Panama is the birthplace of the Geisha (or Gesha) coffee bean. This been grows in the rich, volcanic soils of Panama’s highlands. The combination of altitude, climate, and soil contributes to a cup of coffee that is unparalleled in flavor and complexity.

What Makes It So Special?

The Geisha coffee bean has distinctive floral and fruity notes, often described as having hints of jasmine, bergamot, and tropical fruits. This flavor profile is significantly different from the more traditional coffee flavors of chocolate and nuts. The beans have a light body and bright acidity.

And, of course, the rarity of the Geisha bean adds to its allure. 

Experiencing the World’s Most Expensive Coffee

In Panama, visitors have the unique opportunity to not only taste this exquisite coffee but also to learn about its production. Many coffee farms in the highlands offer tours where you can see firsthand the care and precision that goes into cultivating and harvesting these precious beans.

]]> In Panama, the search for the perfect cup of coffee reaches new heights. In fact, it’s home to one of the world’s most expensive and sought-after coffees at up to $110 a cup! Let’s take a closer look at this luxury drink.

The Allure of Panama’s Exclusive Coffee

Panama is the birthplace of the Geisha (or Gesha) coffee bean. This been grows in the rich, volcanic soils of Panama’s highlands. The combination of altitude, climate, and soil contributes to a cup of coffee that is unparalleled in flavor and complexity.

What Makes It So Special?

The Geisha coffee bean has distinctive floral and fruity notes, often described as having hints of jasmine, bergamot, and tropical fruits. This flavor profile is significantly different from the more traditional coffee flavors of chocolate and nuts. The beans have a light body and bright acidity.

And, of course, the rarity of the Geisha bean adds to its allure. 

Experiencing the World’s Most Expensive Coffee

In Panama, visitors have the unique opportunity to not only taste this exquisite coffee but also to learn about its production. Many coffee farms in the highlands offer tours where you can see firsthand the care and precision that goes into cultivating and harvesting these precious beans.
