Migingo Island sits on Lake Victoria and fits 500 people onto half a football pitch. I took a matatu, bribed a border guard, slept in a tin shack and made it out. This is what life looks like on the world's most crowded island.

I entered Syria completely unprepared, no hotel booked, no idea what the visa cost, and no clue how to even get there. Here's what actually happened on day one in Damascus, from a chaotic border crossing to free dessert from a stranger in the old town.

I spent 3 days in Burundi, the world's poorest country. Corrupt cops, black market currency, a wild zoo, and the people who made it worth it.

I tracked down every fake McDonald's, KFC, Five Guys, Disneyland and paid the price. One stomach-wrenching food adventure you won't forget.

Jobar used to be one of the richest neighbourhoods in Damascus. Now it's a ghost city. 100,000 families, a decade of resistance, an underground tunnel network built by hand, and not a single building left standing. We went in. Here's what it actually looks like.
