India is one of those places that you understand or you don’t. A fan on the WanderingTrader Facebook page set one day “there are two types of travelers, those who go to India and those who don’t”. Things are done in such a unique fashion in the country and shopping is no different. There are […]
A Gondolier In Venice, Italy
The Gondoliers in Venice are something else. Some get really into their roles and others just allow you to enjoy the ride.

Continuing Confusion When Visiting Bogota
Visiting Bogotá has always caused mixed feelings. The city is the capital of Colombia and the only real large cosmopolitan center in the country with just over 7 million inhabitants.
