With the worldwide covid-19 pandemic, a lot of the people was forced into lock-down and stay inside for quite a while. People were looking for anything to get out of the house and go outside. For many, this came in the form of golf.
Sports blogs don’t interest me too much. Travel blogs are a completely different matter. Quite often I find good advice, recommendations, and various resources. Here at the link, I found information about different food tours that will add variety to your trip and your vacation. By the way, you can pay for participation online and not worry that you won’t have enough space.
