I have been writing contents based on holidays and tours for the last five years at Travel Center. My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything. I set off - convinced my trip would be all about incredible, life-changing moments; ones full of sunsets and rainbows and meaningful experiences. Instead, I stumbled headfirst into a disaster.
