Easyjet manage around 1,800 flights and carrying around 250,000 customers per day. They have to be good.
If there's a vice or a trade that hurts animals, we're against it. The wanton, senseless murder for sport went on for far too long to the point of annihilating a number of species, many of them endangered to being with.
But, are you heading off on a mindful safari? How…
A topic we often highlight - billionaires - is high on everyone's list nowadays , especially if you live inside TicTok. Achieving that amount of money was only a dream for most entrepreneurs even ten years ago. But, thanks to the connected world of the internet coupled with the sheer creativity of those…
(*Collapsing old buildings.) Or, when will they ever learn? Yet another post in our series of watching history disappear, like it or not. In this case, it's an example of the US government's intent to raze two important buildings in Chicago, Illinois. These historic Chicago skyscrapers should stay, as they acted as the…
Not long ago, the title of this post could (and still does) convey the allure and beauty that Alexandria has to offer, but now with the GEM Museum finally being open, it's time to make your way to Egypt to be amazed with what the museum has for you. It's astounding, really. …
As ever - and as demonstrated by the name of our site - we try to bring you new and interesting travel news, ideas and inspirations. We think of you, our beloved readers, as adventuresome, fun, curious, open-minded, free-thinking and, perhaps, owners of creaky joints and bones. Yep. Our sympathies go to…
Like you, we love to travel wherever and whenever we can. And, for the most part, that is both do-able and easy. Some places are - not surprisingly - out of the realm of reality for most of us (the North Pole for example) but out of the 195 countries on the planet,…
Are you one of those "been there, done that" kind of people? That's excellent if you are. The world is so big, we humans are so small and life is so short. So why not grab life by the horns and really go for it? How about a place that is…
Namibia. How much do you know about this diverse country? And, for those who are clued into what Nambia has to offer, were you aware that there is a cross-country luxury train? And when we say luxury, we mean it.
Let's take a step backwards and give you the background about why…
We love to discover and feature places that may not be "getting the love" when it comes to being on the list of "places to be." Peruse our site and you'll see loads of places, things and activities that will surprise and delight you. One of these is Socotra. So, where is…
At the time of this writing, it's May of 2023. There are multiple wars underway. The environment is in utter turmoil. The number of billionaires has shot through the roof. And the poor are fighting for their lives. And, as if that isn't bad enough, women still encounter challenges when…
The ancient city of Great Zimbabwe was an engineering wonder. But archaeologists credited it to Phoenicians, Babylonians, Arabians – anyone but the Africans who actually built it. Great Zimbabwe is a medieval city in the south-eastern hills of the modern country of Zimbabwe, near Lake Mutirikwi and the town of Masvingo. It is thought to have been the capital…
It's a big place.
You've worked long and hard over the years. You've done alright. You have some money to spare. And, you're the adventurous type. You want to see it all before you leave this planet, and it's a big planet. And you're also one who has done well…
This is a multi-faceted post, as it touches - literally - on so many topics. You may have heard of Gabon, but many may have not. Wikitravel tells us that Gabon is a country in Western Central Africa. It lies on the Equator, on the Atlantic Ocean coast, between the Republic of the Congo to the…
It's always a thrill when we hear that a new buried or hidden city or artifact has been found. With our modern technologies, these kinds of finds are occurring more and more regularly. Lucky us! Once such place is Midyat.
Midyat is a town in the Mardin Province of Turkey. The…
Safaris used be rather dangerous and - in the case of the animals - deadly propositions. Men with names like George or Nigel would take a steam liner to Africa from one of the colonies, with their pipes, rifles and maps in hand. Sleeping rough in tents, they would spend the night regaling…
If being on the beach is too much to bear, but you love the sun, then we have a travel idea for you! Taposiris Magna in Egypt.
Taposiris Magna is a city established by Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus between 280 and 270 BC. The name means "great tomb of Osiris", which Plutarch identifies with an Egyptian temple in the city.
After Alexander the…
You will most certainly know about Qatar: we've written several posts about this fascinating, liberal and diverse country. But, here we discuss its capitol city, Doha. And, like most wealthy countries in that part of the globe, they pride themselves their progressive approach to many things, including the look and feel of…
