Vegan Junk Food Bar turns this idea of veganism on its head- from its mouth-watering plant-based burgers to loaded fries, piled high with cheese, shawarma and fried onions, nothing about this joint says “healthy food”. Beyond the fun interior design, the food itself is an explosion of colour, with a solid nod to whimsy – try the unicorn bread, dyed bright blue, with hot pink aioli for dipping, or the red velvet cake, a delightful puff of scarlet cake served with a test tube shot of Bailey’s Almande. With its late night hours (the downtown location is open to 03:00 on weekends), there’s no better place to go after a long night in the Red Light District and enjoy some mindbendingly tasty vegan treats. They serve the breakfast and food menu for the whole day, so if you crave for scrambled eggs and a glass of beer in the middle of the afternoon, this is the place you can get it.

Izmailovsky market is a fantastic large, outdoor shopping market to get Russian souvenirs, paintings, old camera’s, propaganda posters from the Soviet Union, second hand clothing and more. It was definitely one of the most interesting flea markets I’ve ever been, mostly because its located inside the Izmailovsky Kremlin (kremlin is the Russian word for fort). The world famous Saint Basil’s Cathedral is a true landmark of Russia and can be found on the Red Square in Moscow. Every tourist in Moscow has the Kremlin high on its list, that’s why it’s a great idea to buy a ticket beforehand, so you can skip the line.

Is it worth it to visit Juliet’s Balcony, one of the most touristic spots in Verona? Yes, Juliet from Romeo and Juliet wasn’t based on a real life human and the balcony pictured above doesn’t directly have anything to do with Shakespeare’s story. So, it is a bit far fetched that it’s called Juliet’s Balcony, but still it’s quite cool that they’ve named a place after this famous romance by Shakespeare’s.

With a car and a (rooftop) tent or camper you drive through infinite steppes, cross mountain landscapes and drive straight through rivers to get to the other side. With a diverse mountain landscape, Kyrgyzstan is definitely the best country to experience overland travel. Although it’s possible to easily spend the night in a commercial yurt camp, an even great experience is to stay at an authentic yurt with a real nomad family. In one place the landscape is filled with mountains, consisting of red rock, while in other places you encounter rugged mountain peaks covered with snow.
