What a 7-day Tanzania safari cost us: USD 3,200 per person, September 2026. Great Migration, budget breakdown, choosing an operator, Q&A and packing list.
Day 4 on Iceland's south coast — Seljalandsfoss waterfall (absolutely worth staying longer!), Skógafoss (rainbow included), and the dramatic black sand beach at Reynisfjara.
Day 3 on the Golden Circle — Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring Area, and Gullfoss waterfall. We did all three in a Yellow Alert storm and still had a great time.

A record of the Dalongdong Detention Room from the Transitional Justice Commission's 'Walking Through Hell' tour of Taiwan's White Terror-era injustice sites — including what an 'injustice site' means, what dark tourism is, and the current state of these places.
Should zoos exist at all? Many people say no — but after an in-person visit to the Taipei Zoo with expert guide Zhang Dongjun, my thinking shifted.
