#1 Getting Lost in the Desert: My Trip to the Sahara
@jpphotography takes us to the Sahara in Morocco. After arriving by bus at Merzouga - one of the entry points to the Sahara - at 5 AM, @jpphotography ends up getting lost in the desert in search of his hostel. After being unable to find it, he luckily finds a hotel where he can stay in the town. The day after he finds out that the hostel was actually located just a few meters from the bus stop he was left last night. After meeting some Brazilian travelers he had met earlier on his trip, he sets out with them on a two-day trip into the desert. Once they arrive at the oasis where they will spend the night, they climb up one of the huge sand dunes for a beautiful sunset view. On the second day they trek further into the desert to soak in the atmosphere. Enjoying a good time next to the campfire before falling asleep and making their way back to Merzouga on the next day.

#2 A walk through Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur
@freewheel takes us to China Town in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. During the time @freewheel is exploring this part of Kuala Lumpur it is the Chinese New Year, which means a lot of beautiful decorations all over. He also shows us an amazing piece of street art by Julia Volchkova, pointing to the traditional crafts of the area. There are more little discoveries to be made, like a small bird market and more beautiful street art pieces. After that it is time to soak in the evening with a couple of drinks in several of the cafes you can find in the area. Whilst it is quiet inside, life outside is still pulsing with life! It's a unique part of Kuala Lumpur definitely worth checking out!

#3 Sedona, AZ (USA) - Give us your leylines!
@aussieninja takes us to Sedona in Arizona, USA. In this small tourist town, you can easily spot the difference between the weathered locals and the tourists. To go with the vibe of the place you'll find yoga classes and little jewelry shops all over town. As we have come to expect from @aussieninja, he did NOT hike to the top of the Coffee Pot Mountain at the Teacup Trail. He did hike all over nonetheless as the trail was closed for regrowth which meant looking for different routes! Luckily for us he does show a stunning GIF of the sunrise at the top of his hotel. As always the witty writing is very enjoyable, having me laugh out loud at certain occasions.

I had some energy left after an amazing hike in the Atlas mountains to do this quick write-up of my Sahara adventures, I'm really happy to see it featured here! Keep up your amazing curation work!
I'm feeling bad for not having replied to you earlier, but I have been staying with amazing couchsurfing hosts for the past few days and barely had enough wifi to check my messages..
I took great pleasure in reading the articles. Thank you so much. Your blog is interesting.
