The Middle East is becoming a hot tourist destination. It’s actually my favorite region in the entire world. New attractions are popping up left and right and locals are becoming more welcoming towards tourists. When people travel to the Middle East, they generally flock to the UAE, Jordan, Morocco or Turkey. However, there’s another hidden gem in this part of the world – Kuwait.

Why I Only Travel with Carry-On Luggage
A lot of my friends have asked me why I only travel with a carry-on. The real answer is my husband. Our biggest blowups in the travel department used to be about luggage.
