Diving into another world
Bayahibe, Dominicana never disappoints. Schools of tropical fish, vibrant corals, gentle rays, and life everywhere you look. Every dive feels alive, colourful, and full of surprises.

Under the surface is where the magic really happens

Water, Wind, and a Whole Lot of “Foss” – Chasing Iceland’s Mighty Waterfalls

If Iceland had a national sport, it would probably be “standing dramatically in front of waterfalls.” And after visiting Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and Gullfoss, I completely understand why. Each one looks like it was designed by nature to make you feel small, soaked, and slightly unprepared for the amount of mist involved.

Seljalandsfoss – The Insta-celebrity of waterfalls. You can walk behind it, which sounds magical until you realise you’re basically volunteering for a cold shower. Pro tip: bring a waterproof jacket or embrace the wet Viking spirit. Fun fact: it drops 60 metres from an ancient sea cliff that used to mark Iceland’s coastline.

Skógafoss – The overachiever. Twice as wide as Seljalandsfoss, with a thundering 25-metre-wide curtain of water. Legend says a Viking named Þrasi hid a treasure chest behind it—though most visitors seem content with just finding the perfect rainbow for their photo. Fun fact: you can climb almost 400 steps to the top for a view that makes the leg burn worth it.

Gullfoss – The grand finale, or as Icelanders might call it, “the Queen of Waterfalls.” It’s so powerful it looks like the Earth cracked open and forgot to fix itself. Fun fact: in the early 1900s, a woman named Sigríður Tómasdóttir fought to protect it from being turned into a hydroelectric plant—basically Iceland’s original eco-warrior.

By the end of the day, I was soaked, awestruck, and slightly convinced the word “foss” means “you will get wet.”

Here’s a few pictures from Reykjavik, where the streets sound like they were named by a cat walking across a keyboard.

Did you know it’s the northernmost capital in the world? And while the city is small (barely 140,000 people), it punches above its weight—this is the place where you can grab world-class coffee, listen to Björk’s neighbors rehearse, and still make it to a geothermal hot tub before dinner.

Also: beer was literally illegal in Iceland until 1989. So yes, Reykjavik nightlife is basically still making up for lost time.

If you’re wondering how to pronounce “Reykjavik,” don’t worry—you’ll never get it right, and the locals secretly love that.

High above the city of Corinth rises the Acrocorinth, a fortress that has guarded the Isthmus for over two millennia. With walls stretching more than 3 km, it was first fortified in antiquity, but in the Middle Ages it became one of the most coveted strongholds in Greece.

The Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans each held it in turn, and its commanding view allowed control over both the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs. A temple of Aphrodite once crowned its summit, later replaced by Christian churches and Ottoman mosques.

In 1210, the Crusader William of Champlitte seized the Acrocorinth, and in the 15th century it was a bulwark against the Ottoman advance. Even today, standing atop its walls, you can sense why conquerors fought endlessly for this citadel in the clouds.
