A Very Livable City in Romania, A Lost City in Colombia, the Loneliest Place in the World and Much More!

March 19, 2024

Hey,

The clouds have parted, the sun has been shining for two days in a row and I even paid a visit to my old neighborhood by the beach.

Right now I'm at Jardin Urbano, having a coffee and doing some work. If the sun keeps shining I'll go for a walk through the wonderful Turia Park afterwards. Should be a good day!

Destinations of the Week

Unsurprisingly, many of the conversations I have in my daily life revolve around travel. And over the past week, a wide range of destinations and topics came up. Here's a few:

Angola - Does anyone know much about this country? I certainly don't.

Brunei - A different and easy hop from Bali in case you need to do a visa run.

Cluj-Napoca, Romania - Ranked as a very livable city, the world will start hearing more about it soon.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico - Is this town still one of the most ideal tropical places to live?

Tallinn, Estonia - This city might be small, but with Helsinki, Riga and St. Petersburg nearby, it sure is an excellent base for exploring the whole region.

Accra, Ghana - If I wanted to get to a very warm destination right now, Accra is not terribly far away, it's 32C (90F) and it's a place I'd be interested in learning more about.

A view of Tallinn, Estonia - a great base to visit the entire region!
