7 Days in Jordan: A Road Trip Itinerary from Aqaba to Amman (and Back)

7 days in Jordan itinerary extracted from an end-of-February, Jordan week-long trip with the most unexpected and dreamy attractions and stops, starting from the depths of the Wadi Rum desert to the heights of Mount Nebo, through the ancient carved city of Petra and upstream the Jordan River, following closely the mystical paths of Christianity.


Even if I tried to plan this holiday to the smallest detail, the actual 7-day trip to Jordan, exceeded any expectations by far. Jordan is considered to be an expensive country. But with a moderate budget for two people and a rented car, we managed to balance and enjoy all that Jordan had to offer from South to North and back. In one week only!

Cultural Center in Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon Hanok Village Guide & Map: A Living Story of the Joseon Dynasty (Updated 2023)

A long list of out-of-this-world things to do in Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul, South Korea. Ready?

The ancient South Korean Bukchon Hanok Village is a rare time-machine neighbourhood. An attraction worth of topping any list of places to visit in Seoul. The village takes you back more than 600 years ago, to the ancient Joseon Dynasty era, while confining pieces of what used to be the lifestyle of the upper class of those times.

In all my travels, I have hardly ever seen such a surprising urban artefact.


Bukchon means Northern Village and it was called so due to its strategic position on the Joseon Map, north of Cheonggyecheong Stream and Jongno.

Traditionally, this was the residential quarter of high-ranking government officials and nobility. Even though some of the old hanoks have been modernized being transformed into the so called fusion hanoks, there are still plenty of well-conserved examples of art and architecture reminding of the ways old Koreans used to live.

Oslo Pass Vigeland Discount

Visiting Oslo on a Pass Review | Is the Oslo Pass Worth It?

Is Oslo Pass worth buying in 2023? A review of the city card opening doors for free transportation and free museum access, as well as discounted meals and shopping in Oslo.  


Oslo is so beautiful! Still, a rather expensive city to visit, explore and fully enjoy.

Thankfully, magical fjords sightseeing, delicious Norwegian food and art spaces can all come with a discount when using Oslo Pass. Acting as an all-in-one complete sightseeing solution for Oslo visitors, the card easily replaces individual museum or transportation passes and discount tickets.

Oslo Pass does com with an upfront cost, but it claims substantial savings for the active tourists.

I had the opportunity to give Oslo Pass a try during November, together with my husband. We love winter trips! Therefore, Oslo was a great destination despite the cold weather. We were there for 4 full days, from Friday to Monday. But the 4 days in Oslo passed so fast that it seemed more like a weekend getaway.

Considering that on Mondays most museums are closed, we used the Oslo pass at the beginning of our trip. More specifically, from Friday to Sunday. And kept a bunch of free things to do and see in Oslo (without a pass) for a Monday morning.
