Pyramid Tours (Giza and Saqqarah), Egypt 2023
9/10
"A different kind of ancient!!"
The pyramids of Egypt hit differently than anywhere I’ve been before. The heat, the sand, the sheer scale of it all—it felt unreal, like stepping into a world far removed from anything modern. I fell deeply in love with the chaos and the beauty, feeling less like a tourist and more like a true adventurer.
The constant attention from beggars did pull me out of the moment at times, but in a strange way, it also became part of the experience—a reminder that this place is alive, complicated, and unapologetically real.
Go prepared, go curious, and don’t stop at the postcard moments. Egypt has so much more to offer beyond the tourist paths, and that’s where the real adventure begins.

"Adventurous yet Mysterious!"
Halfway between San José and Liberia sits Monteverde, a mountaintop region where peaks rise above the clouds and the world feels entirely different. Cool air, misty forests, and endless green set the tone the moment you arrive.
One of the highlights is the network of suspension bridges that carry you high above the canopy. Eight bridges stretch across a two-mile hike, placing you eye-level with drifting clouds and the forest below—easily worth the visit on its own.
If you’re willing to spend a little extra, the sloth sanctuary is a perfect addition. It’s a relaxed, educational experience that rounds out the day and adds a memorable wildlife encounter to an already incredible setting.
Monteverde is slow, scenic, and immersive—a must-stop for anyone exploring Costa Rica.
I won't lie, getting here if driving yourself is quite difficult!
