Travel is a big thing, isn't it? That's no news. But what is news is how the travel industry is literally exploding with all things new. The "explosion" of travel in recent times is not a single event but a phenomenon driven by a powerful combination of technological, social, and economic factors.…
Adventure
of Ancient Megalithic Sites Are you born for action? Do you want to see the world? Not only see it but feel it, touch it, taste it (where not prohibited by law) and really have something to talk about at the dinner table. This is it, then, & it can be …
We're just like you. We want the best. We long for the new or the old. We search for the unusual. We go the extra distance to step away from the tired or the regular. That doesn't make us snobs. That makes us curious and forward thinking. So,…
Sorry, boss. Does this mean that we need to put in overtime? Three "forgotten" Roman megaprojects include the Tunnel of Claudius, an ambitious drainage project to drain the Fucine Lake through a colossal tunnel; the Iron Gates Highway, a vast network of roads built in the Balkans to facilitate military movement and trade; and the secret harbor of Lake…
All aboard the Not Creepy, just "previously enjoyed BGVoz Suburban Train System. At least It has one and it works! Did you know that Malta, San Marino and Iceland don't have rail at all. Take that!
For a rail fan, Belgrade's rail service is interesting because it represents a fascinating mix of…
Far be it from us to pass judgement on others. To each, their own, and bless you, each and every one of you. We totally get it when one wants to get away from the madding crowd, or exactly opposite, to show off to everyone within the eagle's eyeshot. What once were…
Be mine tonight. It's not very often when you find a "hidden treasure" in travel these days. Either it's heaving with people, or the prices are laughable. So we thought we'd give you the first look at a place that is none of that and, even better, you'll definitely want to book…
. . . and it has a lot for you to see and do. Those in the historical know will have some background or history with Chile. A genuinely fascinating and unforgettable place, and one that sometimes hides shyly in the travel shadows. Given how travel is nowadays, with the hoards of "influencers"…
. . . . or just flushed with embarrassment? One of the thrills of creating this website is marveling at how creative some content creators are. Whether it's turning an old, past its prime Airbus jet into a swish hotel, or sleeping in caves with bats, we travel lovers have our work cut…
When we look back in history, most of us seek past knowledge, or perhaps ways of living. It could be protective measures to ensure that our families are safe and sound, so that we can continue the lineage. We could be seeking higher ground and simply a better way. Let's look at some…
Aren't we lucky people, these days. Most of us that is. Money is flowing for those who have, of course, but also more and more, for those who have not, or are on the edge of having. It's been a long trip for so many, but all are welcome. To the…
You know you're dying to stay here. Imagine the envy of even your closest friends. You've come to the right place. You might think we're speaking of an auteur, but we have news for you. "Arte by Thomas Chan" is not a person, but a luxury, art-inspired hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, designed to…
Travelers are spoiled with choice these days. Some travelers are just spoiled. Sure, twerking in front of your friends is swell, but is it really necessary when it comes to walking the planet? The answer, of course is a resounding no. Share and share alike, but be a grownup about it. …
Noooo. It's Butlins! We're all about fun. And we're all about history. Put them together and the fun never stops. There was a period in history where more and more families were seeing more and more money in their bank accounts. This also aligns with them having more children who…
We're not trying to make you go, oh no, no no. But, if love is in your heart for almost everything, we have something here that is nothing but wonderful. Imagine watching a crumbled mess of a building almost be
miraculously transformed into a place anyone would want to stay in, let alone…
For many of us, religion is not a big thing in our lives. We might reference it during the holidays, or where other instances suggest we do, but this is kind of rare. But what about Nuns in this day and age? Religious people become nuns as a way to dedicate their entire lives…
Boy, there's a stigma that needs to go away, pronto. Delhi, India is as big, bustling and modern as any world-class city. The old stereotype of crumbled architecture, barefoot residents and non-existent infrastructure is old hat. Delhi has established itself as a top world city by shedding its old stereotypes and embracing modernization, driven…

Another rail post, but of a different timbre this time: these posts seem to be coming fast and furious now that the planet is making it quite clear that we dim humans are missing the plot. Recent climate data shows that global warming is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, with human activities identified as…
