What It’s Like To Stay In A Travelopo Mallorca Villa
Travelopo asked me to review one of their villas in Mallorca, an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. I’ve rented apartments while traveling but never an entire villa, and I have to say there were a lot of perks to having a villa for the week. The best part was that there were three bedrooms so I was able to invite a few friends to join me. We stayed in Villa Nico, a very traditional Spanish-style house. My Experience Staying In A Travelopo Mallorca Villa My favorite part was having our own pool. The setting outside was just gorgeous with towering hills, plenty of flowers and plants surrounding us, and it felt very…

Photos Of Iceland That Will Make You Want To Go There Right Now
When I first decided to come to Iceland, I was overwhelmed with the choices of where to go in Iceland. I only had six days, so not a lot of time to explore the entire country. Plus, I couldn’t find my driver’s license, so renting a car was out of the question. Reykjavik Excursions made the decision an easy one with the many tours they offered as day trips out of Reykjavik. I am the type of person who prefers to base myself out of one area, rather than packing and unpacking bags every day. I went on both the Wonders of Snæfellsnes and the popular Golden Circle tour with a visit to the…
