It's April of 2023. Thus far, there has been no let-up on the hatred and destruction that has plagued our people for the past few years. Between the tensions of the so-called superpowers, and the ideological uprisings centered around religion, it feels like we have stepped back several decades. Sure, this is…

It will come as no surprise to regular reader here how much we love Europe. There are very few places in the world that offer as much diversity, excitement and romance as that most desirable continent. And, if you happen to be in the UK and want to journey to Europe, hiring a…
Are you the edgy type? Looking for something new and different? How about going underground . . . literally. And it's actually perfect if the weather is lousy. How about Rolling hills, deep river valleys, and the world's longest known cave system? Mammoth Cave National Park is home to thousands…
It’s the most dominant fast food chain on the planet, serving 68 million customers a day in 120 countries. You won’t spot the golden arches, though, anywhere on one tiny island in the easternmost Caribbean. “Bajans didn’t like it,” says Michael Harrison when asked about the absence of McDonalds in Barbados. “When they want a…
Who doesn’t love a Tuk Tuk? We certainly do, and we’ve been in them from Delhi to Peru. Cramped, noisy, smelly, chaotic and 150% fun.
Your oasis of solitude exists!
Do you ever stop to think about your existence on planet Earth? Of all of the known planets (so far) we're the only one with blue waters, blue skies, human beings and Taco Bell. How and why did we end up here? And what else exists for us to know of this…
It's fabulous thing to have lots of money. You can more or less do what you want, even if "it makes no sense." Look at Elon Musk. Or Jeff Bezos. Sheesh. But, back to reality, there are hundreds of wealthy individuals out there who happily and thoughtfully share their riches: …
A UNESCO site, Benin is a top country to visit on any West African itinerary.
We're sorry. We couldn't resist playing with that lousy pun of a post title. But this cruise down the Nile does come with a mummy-back guarantee. Ahem... now back to reality, Remember the wide-eyed wonder of learning about ancient Egypt at school? Our affiliate friends, Titan Travel, are offering this comprehensive Egypt…
.... responsibly. For many travelers, one of the biggest thrills is being able to visit locales and see animals in their own habitats, unshackled, roaming around as it should be. Elephants, tigers, rare birds - you get the picture. Safaris are a great way of doing that (and we have a…
It's not what you think. As our earth starts to turn into a sauna, places change. One of which is a small ski resort in France. The snow disappears sooner than it should, grass appears and the skiers disappear, as well. This is not an isolated case and, unfortunately, it's likely a…
Every day, we scour the Interwebs to find content that we think you'll like. We try to steer away from the typical standard normal usual stuff that you usually see in your inbox. We love to travel, we've done it a lot and we want to find new and interesting options for ourselves…
... and she is terminally pretty (see video below.) Well, as you'll know if you frequent our site, we travel a lot, and as part of that, we inevitably need to stay overnight somewhere. Naturally. You will also know that we love architecture, especially architecture in which we can reside. It could be…
From our viewpoint, Chile is a country that doesn't get enough "travel love," compared to so many other countries. We might be a little bit guilty of that too, but not for long. To be fair, Chile is quite a hike to get to. Flight connections are not always easy, nor cheap.…
Stay at the SpongeBob Water Tower. Spend a holiday with Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Crabbs and the entire Bikini Bottom clan. There are three floors in which to frolic, do the twist and get into all sorts of trouble.
Want to take a cruise, but perhaps have a few conditions that need to be met first? The cruise can’t be too long, the ship too crowded and not to the Caribbean again. Well, we have an option: Montreal and beyond, eh?
There are probably very few people who wouldn’t like to sleep in a castle. And not a pretend castle made of drywall and ill-conceived decorations situated in Atlantic City. We mean a genuine castle, with hundreds of years of almost mind-boggling history, paintings of the landed gentry from the year 1430!
We love history, and we love living history even better. And what does that entail? Certainly learning about history is exciting enough, but when you can see it or, in this case, sleep in it, then that's when things get really exciting. It would ne nice to sleep in Windsor Palace,…
How low can you go to go big?
