Survive the Death Road

The world’s most dangerous road. 65 kilometers. 300 deaths yearly. 600 meter deep cliffs and the road that thins out to just three meters wide. Cycling down from 4,800m in snow-capped Andes to 1,200m in the heated Amazon jungle. This one…

Selfie at the most-hated Amsterdam sight

The world famous "I Amsterdam" sign is actually hated by locals and is nowhere near the offbeat sights. That being said, I have never seen a person who’d resist a picture there - just to tick off the box. To make the experience slightly…
