If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know I’m a HUGE proponent of exploring the country you live in. Qatar is no exception (especially since international travel is…
Doha is a gorgeous city. While it may not have the charm of Buenos Aires’s eclectic streets or the history of Ireland’s castles, as far as modern cities go, it manages…
