Nicaragua ๐ณ๐ฎ

It may not be at the top of many bucket lists, but Nicaragua is stunning. Full of fascinating history, tasty food (quesillos en bolsa FTW), and friendly, beautiful people ๐

Uzbekistan ๐บ๐ฟ
In 2019, I had the pleasure of taking part in the World Influencers Conference in this virtually unknown Central Asian country.
We traveled to Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand together, and then I explored Shahrisabz and Termez on my own. I love this country and the food! ๐คค
