Dina Tsagari on her visit to Tunisia in February 2019:

“I recently got back from my second trip to amazing Tunisia … Despite being a slim wedge on the horizontal expanse of North Africa, Tunisia has a long history, culture, amazing food and fascinating multilingual landscapes, but above all hospitable and warm people. I was safe and secure and travelled extensively visiting many different places from north to south… A visit to Tunisia is a long lasting trip and an unforgettable experience.”

See you in Tunisia
