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…
Do Something Different
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…
Nor Squamish, for that matter: Have fun wherever you go! Let's visit Beamish. Beamish is located in County Durham, in the northeast of England. It is a small village situated about halfway between the larger cities of Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Beamish is a destination for fun because it is home to Beamish,…
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…
Are you going? Part 1. As we do, we were poking around on the electric interwebs looking for interesting content. Out of nowhere, the phrase and accompanying tune found its way to the forefront of my cranium. Those who are aware of the rather lovely British city will be clued-in. …
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. …
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…
For those of us who follow this and actually care about the planet and what we leave our families and children, based on current research, development, and industry goals, we are on a path toward having aircraft that don't destroy the atmosphere, but it will be a gradual process rather than a sudden switch. …
Moldovan-run villages Based on an analysis of the socio-economic situation in Moldova, the phrase "Moldovan-run villages" can be interpreted as referring to the typical rural villages that make up the vast majority of the country's territory. These communities are the heart of Moldovan culture, but they also face significant challenges.
On the plus side,…
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…
Oz is one of those places that everyone wants to visit, and that's no surprise, when you consider the depth and breadth that the country has to offer, even if it is rather far away from where you might be at the moment. Why is that? Perth's unique character as a travel destination stems…
Drop everything. If Japan is on your list of places to stay, you'll undoubtedly know how expensive Tokyo can be. Based on current market trends, rental prices for a typical small apartment in Tokyo can vary dramatically depending on the location, age of the building, and amenities. A "small" apartment in Tokyo is generally…
Ah, America. A place divided in so many ways, yet so cohesive at the same time. Your editor was born in the USA, but after living there 22 years, enough was enough. Let it be known that some of my siblings live there (I love them dearly) but they are not the…
