Just returned from the mesmerizing landscapes of Socotra, an island where time seems to stand still. Imagine walking through forests of dragon blood trees, their umbrella-like shapes casting surreal shadows on the ground. The beaches are untouched, with sand so white it feels like walking on clouds. And the locals, with their vibrant stories and age-old traditions, are as welcoming as the island itself. If you crave an adventure off the beaten path, Socotra is your next destination. Pro tip: Visit during the mild winter months to avoid the monsoon rains and enjoy a more pleasant climate. Have you ever discovered a place that felt like a different planet?
