Here is a tale about making sure that you have made sure that you have booked the correct place: it is paramount. Double check your work before handing it in. Call ahead and confirm.
Do Something Different
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…
Don't be afraid of the dark. We humans have found a way to conjure up almost any scenario, whether real, imminent or purely fictional. "The end is nigh!" "We only have X number of days on this planet before it implodes!" Well, in our opinion, so far, so good -…
... 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.…
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?
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,…
Much like bargains at your local specialty shop, once they're gone, they're gone. And that goes for building, as well. You will know how much we here at Matouring love architecture - from all around the world. If you travel enough, you get to see the great structures: Taj Mahal, Eifel Tower,…
We bring you yet another post about where to go when you've run out of places to go. It's something we aim to do as much as we can here at Matouring, as you won't want too much "typical" or "normal" or "been there, done that" we would guess. We've been to lots…
You're the adventuresome type. New places, new faces, new things to do. You have the time, the money and the inclination to venture beyond the the typical. We feel the same way, But, where to go? Fear not, we have dozens and dozens of places to share.
Today's selection…
Pity the poor residents of Gibraltar (sometimes known as "The Rock".) For decades they have been "frozen" in a, so far, dilemma that doesn't seem to have an imminent solution, but does have a looming deadline. (For reference, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain's south coast. It’s dominated by…
It's January of 2023 and we're absolutely loving the Amazon series The Bad Guy. Set in modern Palermo, Italy, it is an hilarious, unpredictable, subtle, violent and binge-worthy story of Mafia families, how they interact and the predictable / unpredictable outcomes that you would imagine. But, unlike most Mafia sagas, it is packed…
And now for something completely different again. We always look for the unusual. So, if you combine that goal with our sense of humour and adventure, may we present an accommodation that we think ticks all of the boxes: the WigWam motel.
There are 40,000 islands throughout B.C, but 6,000 of them and active / inhabited. You’re going to need a bigger boat.
Biltmore? How can this be even built more?? There are the rich, and then there are the rich. Some people just have a knack. George Washington Vanderbilt II was one of them. Vanderbilt was an art collector and member of the prominent Vanderbilt family, which amassed a huge fortune through steamboats, railroads,…
If you're in business these days, you've got to be smart, clever, innovative and original or else you'll likely go under. And there has been a watershed of new ideas and business execution attempts that have lost their steam or have dried up. Thinking in a shell no longer works, and being crabby…
Germany is certainly at the front of European power, drive and energy. An economic and social powerhouse itself, it stands as one of Europe's shining stars when it comes to making things happen. And this dynamo of a country is looking for smart, energetic workers.
Germany is doubling down on plans to attract skilled workers from…
If ever there was a city that has universally admired vibes, its Sydney, Australia. And rightly so. The vibes are real, as are the people. Gorgeous weather, sea, sun and more, it’s worth the flight. Go, mate!
