Picture this: an island steeped in history, kissed by the Mediterranean sun, and brimming with hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered. My year in Cyprus was more than just study and travel; it was a discovery of the island's best-kept secrets. Imagine stumbling upon quaint tavernas serving up traditional delights tucked into narrow streets, or finding pristine beaches with turquoise waters away from the typical tourist trails. These were the gems that made my time in Cyprus unforgettable. So, join me as I take you through the untold stories and cherished finds that made my journey in Cyprus an enriching tapestry of experiences.

This post is inspired by the route I planned for me and my 3 friends in Jordan. We rented a car and had the best week ever. The Jordanian people are some of the most welcoming people I have ever interacted with. It is very much a place I will return too and I would feel safe as a Solo-female traveller. *all pictures from my own experience*
