The Genius Idea of Stopovers in Warsaw
Normally I aim to spend anywhere from two to three hours between connecting flights at international airports before moving on promptly to my final destination. In the adventure my wife and I undertook, we had a stopover in Warsaw of a whopping seven-and-a-half hours **during the day**.

Snow in Morocco: A Side of the Country Most Travelers Don’t Expect
When most people think of Morocco, they imagine warm deserts, sunlit medinas, and palm trees swaying under a blue sky. Snow rarely comes to mind. Yet every winter, parts of the country quietly shift into a completely different landscape one shaped by cold air, white mountain peaks, and villages wrapped in silence after snowfall.
