When I was young I really wanted to go to Seychelles, mostly because there was a Greek song about going to Seychelles for vacation and ever since then it stuck with me. Mind you I didn’t even know where they were as I was only 13 years old. I had tried to visit several times in the past few years as most flights from Europe these days are very affordable at around £350-£450 mark but it always … [Read more...]

Hotel Review: Four Seasons Doha – Excellent hotel for a stopover in Doha or a Staycation
When I moved to Doha, I heard the term staycation. I never had a real staycation; it was mostly a mattress run for points or a real travel trip to a different city.

On this trip, I decided to check out the new Marriott Downtown which opened in the past few months. … [Read more...]
