The United Arab Emirates, Where Tradition Meets The Future
curated by
Jamie
Jamie planned my 6-day spring break trip last year to Goa. Being a beach lover, she selected the perfect destination for my travel plans to India. She provided me with a driver, selected a comfortable and affordable accommodation to my liking (within walking distance from the beach), and planned a nice mix of fun-filled activities and downtime for rest and relaxation. Many thanks to Jamie for making my trip one for the books...
