The Absolutely Stunning Bimmah or Hawaiyat Najm Sinkhole in Oman
The Hawaiyat Najm Sinkhole in Oman is a thing of beauty. It is known by many names, Hawaiyat Najm, Bimmah Sinkhole or Dabab Sinkhole.

Booking Flight Tickets
If possible, I like to book my own holidays from beginning to end. Two factors lead to significant costs on any holiday, flights and hotel. More often than not flights cost more than hotels. I feel like I have won a lottery when I find a cheap flight on my own. My Maldives and Sri…
Dolphin Watching in Muscat, Oman

Dress Code for Women in Myanmar
I visited Yangon and Inle Lake in Myanmar for Escapers17. It was a fast paced super fun event. I still found time to look at what was the dress code for women in Myanmar. The local women dress beautifully in Longyi and tops. Men also wrap the same longyi in a slightly different style. Given…
