The gems and secrets of travelling continued a few weeks back for me, when I visited East Timor for the first time. I was keen to find out about the industries that they have there. Money has to come from somewhere and sadly tourism isn’t bringing enough money in just yet. East Timor however has Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: Timorese Coffee Experiences in East Timor🇹🇱[…]
