Visiting the British Museum
The British Museum is a grand British institution, being one of the world’s finest museums and home to countless great artifacts and works of arts since the mid-18th century.

Exploring Rome’s ancient castle, Pantheon, and more
Rome is famous for great historic sites such as the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, but what makes it a fantastic city is that there are many more sites across the city. A lot of other cities have famous sites but when you visit those sites, there isn’t much to see in the immediate vicinity. […]

Paris travel- Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe
The most recognizable symbol in Paris is probably the Eiffel Tower, with the Arc de Triomphe second. Previously, my mother and I had appreciated the Eiffel Tower from afar, atop the Montparnasse Tower, but on our third day in the city we went right up to the tower. But before that, we had coffee at […]
