Happy Middle of the Week!

So, I decided to invite seven friends to share their perspective about the world after the pandemic is over. Will things go back to what they were before? What will be different and what will stay the same?

What is the most underrated travel destination? This is what I've been asking myself lately. Countries like France, Thailand, Italy, and Spain are very popular travel destinations. In this episode, we are going to talk about countries which are less popular among tourists. There are many countries and cities which are not very well known but still have a LOT to offer. Today we will discuss some of these countries and cities here.

To help me discuss which are the most underrated travel destinations in the world, I asked the help of three friends: Zuzana, Nicki, and Arthur.

Defining home has always been tricky for me. To be quite honest, I believe that I have never actually felt 100% at home in my hometown, where I grew up and spent most of my life. After moving abroad, I was challenged to start a new life in a completely different place, make new friends, and adapt to that new culture. But when will that new country start to feel like home? Is home a physical location or a feeling we have?
