The cities were really picturesque but it wasn’t till I explored outside of the towns that I was truly blown away by Saxony’s beauty. Impossibly green, rolling hills, wildflower fields and lazy rivers—I can see why Saxony is popular for it’s hiking, biking and outdoor pursuits. The Bastei Rocks was a particular highlight.

We visited several of Saxony’s cities and each had it’s own personality. Dresden, the capital was historic and beautiful. Leipzig was young, hip and artsy and Gorlitz was charming and quaint. Experience Saxony’s cities with us.
Giant steins of beer, massive pretzels and pork knuckles the size of your head–Saxony has the large German beer garden fare. However, Saxony also has fine dining, with Michelin-starred restaurants and fine German rieslings. We sampled a little bit of all to discover Saxony’s food culture.
We visited the Lowlands, an area of PNG located along the Karawari River. This region is known as the Sepik and we were exposed to local life along the river. Custom tour itinerary provided by Swain Destinations.

The lodges in PNG are more than just hotels–they are your basis for experiencing the country and interacting with the locals. Sustainable and true to their environments, each one that I stayed on my experience with Swain Destinations had a unique personality and shaped my journey.

Let’s travel to Papua New Guinea! Explore the tribes of Tari, the famous Birds of Paradise and all the adventure of the Highlands.
Papua New Guinea is unlike any place I’ve ever been! And of course, the food is just as unique. I visited the local market and was blown away by not only the exotic fruits and vegetables, but the entire marketplace ethos! As PNG is remote, most of what you eat is grown, harvested or caught nearby–so it is the true farm to table. Join me as I discover what the locals eat on a food tour of this wild country.

This artistic, historic and stunningly beautiful Free State of Germany offers so much to see, do & eat in such a small area. From the Porsche factory to the Bastei Rocks, to the home of the nutcracker, Saxony surprised me at every turn
