Turning Alberobello Into a Runway
Happy New Year, friends! 🎉🎉🎉 I did some decluttering before the NYE, what about you? 😊 This week, let me take you to Alberobello in southern Italy!

What to Do in Limassol, Cyprus
Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore Limassol, Cyprus! I went to this island last year for a business trip, but only now I feel like writing about this city.

When I say ‘peaceful’, I really mean it… because there’s only 1 small shopping mall! It’s not a bustling city but a beautiful, small island. Limassol is a good destination for a temporary change if you live a hectic life. However, if you’re a foodie and prefer city…
