Minsk International Business Class Lounge Review

Un-photogenic Minsk isn’t very photo friendly. The city itself is a bit of an architectural eyesore, and in some areas photos aren’t permitted.

My Encounter With Radical Islam

Bueno Buenos Aires In 2010 I was in a bit of a lull. The economy was terrible and still very much inside the country’s recession. I was in between jobs and wasn’t sure what was next. After looking at some travel options, I decided on a 5 month trip to South America. The trip in
