The city of Lampang is renowned for its unique temples and beautiful handmade ceramics. The town is nestled in the north, about two hours from Chiang Mai. Most visitors often go on a day trip.

Interestingly enough, the latter of the two seems to have done little or no traveling at all, especially not on their own.

Is it just me, or am I the only one completely oblivious to the undiscovered gem of Slovenia? When I think of the Alps, crystal-clear lakes, delicious food, incredible scenery, and many other things, Switzerland or Italy come to mind. However, the small country in Central Europe known as Slovenia has all of this and more.
