    35 Top tips for your first solo trip

    22/08/2021 /

    Traveling solo for the first time can be a daunting experience. But if you know what to expect and pack accordingly, it will make your trip more enjoyable. One of my top tips is to ensure that safety comes first – this means looking into which countries have extra dangers in terms of crime rates or political unrest before booking flights (or driving). If you’re staying in one location, then I recommend doing some research on where potential hazards are located as well- such as natural disasters, dangerous wildlife, etc. Once you’ve planned out your destination with these details taken care of, there are plenty more things to do!

    What’s in My Camera Bag?

    08/03/2020 /

    I bought my first DSLR camera 6 years ago and have since upgraded the camera twice, and have gradually purchased more travel photography equipment. Don’t feel like you have to purchase a lot of items when you’re just starting out. Just upgrade when you need to. It’s fine if you start out with more basic camera equipment. My first DSLR camera was a Nikon D90 and I absolutely loved it. You can still create amazing content with a cheaper camera, and upgrade when you feel like you need to – e.g., if you want to improve the quality of your photos. Same with lenses – the kit lens initially was completely sufficient…

    Santorini is that insanely beautiful island pretty much everyone has heard of. Well anyone who has ever opened Instagram. Or Pinterest. Or any other social media website.

    How to take great photos of yourself

    Ever wondered how some creators can always have new photos available of them in different places? Have they got a personal photographer going with them everywhere? It is possible they just take photos of themselves. Let me teach you how to take great photos of yourself! At this point about 80% of photos I post of myself on Instagram I’ve taken myself. My trips to Malta and Israel were both solo trips, so I took all my travel selfies there myself. Go have a look to see more photos that I’ve taken of myself.

    Hotel Review: Dan Eilat Hotel

    27/01/2020 /

    As someone who lives in a country that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight during winter (that’s Latvia), I was really craving a trip to a place where I could relax, enjoy the sun and feel warm again. Eilat in Israel seemed perfect for it – it is right by the beautiful Red Sea, warm all year round and has decently priced flights from Europe to the new Ramon airport. When I started looking for a hotel to stay at in Eilat, Dan Eilat Hotel immediately caught my eye. Dan Eilat Hotel is a gorgeous 5 star luxury hotel located in Eilat, Israel. It is a self-contained property that will…
