There is nothing I like to do more than sitting around, staring at a body of water, reading something girlie, and eating the beach equivalent of street food.

Although I have outgrown fears of apocalyptic prophesies, what I never seem to get enough of is my love for ancient buildings.

Ten years ago I set a goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. With no plan or country list to fulfill this goal, I decided to let life take me where it wished.
“See Simi Travel Blog | Adventures of a travel snob“, is just that. The account of an ex-20-something year exploring the world, usually solo, and on a very limited budget.
Every other week I try to tell you a story about the friends, food, fun and fails I’ve had along the way.
