One of my absolute favorite hikes in Hong Kong is the MacLehose Trail Section Two. I´ve done this hike twice and I´d love to do the entire trail. The MacLehose trail is a 10-section, 100-kilometer trail in the New Territories of Hong Kong, and you can hike the entire thing. Many people hike it and camp overnight at various spots along the way.

Milan has extensive, amazing places to eat and it’s my favorite activity in Milan. Even writing this made me miss it. Here are some of my favorite places…

Milan is generally not on the top of people’s lists for places to go in Italy.

You can bike from the South to the North of the city in about 30 minutes, which I did many times. My favorite way to get around Milan is to bike. If you are ever going to Italy and have…
