It’s leafy, down south.

Thanks to the Electric Interwebs, we modern species of humans are able to go back in time to either remember, or to learn anew. Not surprisingly, one of the most memorable places on earth is Los Angeles, and it has been for decades. As busy and as thriving as it is, we discovered…
When it comes to history, some people would rather crawl under a rock than sit and watch historians argue about who is right and who is wrong. Of course, there is usually an answer that the boffins land on eventually, otherwise we all would still be living in caves. We love history, so…
Vancouver, Canada is where we live. It is a relatively new city, even though it is still about 137 years old. Founded in 1886, and like any city, it has a chequered past, as one group of people after another passes through the fledgling community over the decades. Some came to dismantle the forests…
We don't know about you, but we still shiver with tears when we look back on the videos of Notre Dame on fire. Even if you've been to Paris dozens of times, that most marvelous of buildings still makes our heart race when we walk up to its doors. On 15 April 2019, just…
. . . . nowadays, they just love to visit. They're much better behaved than they used to be.
Located along FDR Drive in Manhattan, NYC is Waterside Plaza, built on a spit of artificial land. But what many New Yorkers don't realise is that beneath Waterside Plaza are the remains of a…
Want to show off to your friends? Want to add your name to the Guinness Book of World Records? Want to spend a little spare cash? Here's an odd and humorous topic for all of you high-value air travelers. This may appear to be pure selfishness, courtesy of some Johnny Bigpants, where…
Once again, we return to the UK for this post, but this post is a bit specific. You should know by now that England (and all of the UK) is filled with locations, activities and history that are hard to beat. Literally, at every corner, there is something from antiquity that will stop…
... a rail tale, as it were. We write about Cleveland, Ohio, USA every so often. Interestingly, the city seems to capture the attention of thousands of people regularly, even though it is slowly shrinking away. So, why would you want to visit Cleveland, Ohio and - in this case -…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
We have a real find here for you in this place. Once you stay, you'll never want to go back to an everyday hotel again. The Dive Bar, Motel & Swim Club in Nashville, Tennessee. You may be too young to remember places like this. Or, perhaps you're too old to remember.…
Join us – sing along with Tony Bennett. The Welsh will join right in with three-part harmony.
Let's propel ourselves into another epoch and era, and it's all about art. Rest assured that this will not be some stiff academia boffin boring you to tears. The period we'll be highlighting here is all about Art Nouveau and, even better, it's short and sweet and it's a treat.
As a…
We like to feature Belgrade when we can, as it’s a genuinely diverse and fun place to visit. You can cast away all of the cobwebs of the olde Belgrade, as those are yesterday’s news and certainly not the reality of this up-and-coming destination.
