Ibagari Boutique Hotel, Roatan: Stunning Island Design Hotel Away From Cruise Ship Crowds

We stayed at the Ibagari Boutique Hotel in Roatan, Honduras, for seven nights in early February 2025 for our annual anniversary trip.

Considering Colonization And Its Impacts At The British Museum

During our recent summer trip to London in 2024, we, of course, visited The British Museum. This museum is at the top of any London travel list, although coming here is more than just viewing all sorts of antiquities and artifacts from all over the world. While doing so, you are also forced to reckon with the question of why are all of these things here in London? There is a funny meme that asks, “Why are the Pyramids in…
