When we started looking into doing a Star Wars tour in Tunisia, we immediately found a company that shall remain nameless (but is easily google-able) offering Star Wars tours through Tunisia for a truly bonkers amount of money. This company charges around $2900 USD ($4600 AUD!!!) per person for a 6 day trip! That means […]

Our last day in Tunisia was a big one. We were to drive from the holy city of Kairouan back to the capital of Tunis before boarding a flight onwards to Oslo (via Paris). Despite the fact that we needed to be at the airport by around 2pm, Jamel was determined for us to pack […]

The appeals of visiting this small island are numerous; there is fascinating Berber history, stunning white buildings, gorgeous street art and of course, a little bit of Star […]
