Mistaken for a homewrecker in Dubai

After two long weeks of study and hard work, I needed a break. It wasn’t easy to study especially because it had been ten years since I last studied. I felt like my head was going to explode any minute. To freshen up my mind, I immediately accepted my colleague’s invitation to a hangout with a bunch of friends.
I was really excited because it had been two weeks since I had arrived in UAE and I couldn’t wait to explore what the city had to offer. Even though it was the season of blazing summer and the holy month of Ramadan, I was still excited to meet new people and socialize.
The taxi driver dropped me right at the building’s entrance where my friend lived with his brother. All I knew was that his brother was on a holiday with his family and my friend was alone at home. His place was the meet up point for everyone as it was conveniently located in the middle of everyone’s route.

A breath taken day in the land of wanders, Machupicchu, Peru

On a rainy cold morning, I was all set for a much awaited dream to become reality. After a long journey and witnessing many wonders along the way, I was sure nothing would be in comparison with what I was going to experience later in the day. My heart was pumping so hard that I needed to give myself an inner talk so I could calm down.
The scenery around this place of wonders was absolutely magnificent. The fresh air rushed into my lungs. I patiently waited in a queue to get into the bus that would take me to Machu Picchu in Peru. I kept glancing at my tickets anxiously. I had two tickets; one for Huayna Picchu and the other for Machu Picchu. The sight in front of my eyes was not something you would witness every day. The green mountains, covered in vegetation that was exclusive to this place, made me feel as if I was daydreaming. The mist was breaking and I could see all the way down the sinkhole.

A sunny day in Puno, Peru and the Lake Titicaca experience

After an unforgettable bus ride of almost eight hours from Cusco to Puno, I arrived safely at my hotel. I was almost at the end of my trip to Peru and I couldn’t wait to go home, but not before I see the locals who live on water on small artificial islands, handmade from a plant called totora reeds which has multiple uses including teeth whitening.

While trying to sleep, feeling bad for the past three years I had wasted and hating the fact that I still can’t make a decision of whether to keep contact with a man that was not worth my attention, I realized that I was short of breath. It was not because of my regrets, but it had something to do with the place. I was lying in bed, the windows were open, I had also

An adventurous day to Forbidden City, in Beijing, China

After a well-rested night of sleep in Beijing, I decided to go on with my adventure to the Forbidden City, a place visited by 50,000 people daily who desire to see what a Chinese Imperial Palace from the Ming dynasty was once until the end of Qing dynasty (1420 to 1912). It is called the Forbidden City because nobody was allowed to enter or leave the walled city without the emperor’s permission.
A foggy day combined with humidity made the palace look even more mysterious. As you walk towards the large gates, thousands of people walk in the same direction as you. It is
