We love cars, especially classic, luxury and exotic. We've had a bunch of them over the years, but we also realise that they have an impact on our planet, so we take the trains as much - if not more - than we do cars. But that doesn't reduce our love of beautiful…
Fun
We love football. And by that we mean the international game where you use your foot and your head to make the goals. We were glued to the television watching the recent World Cup 2022 matches, sometimes getting up at inhuman times of the day to catch the action. We won't divulge…
Ah, Paris. Can you ever get enough of it? We can't. The sites, the food, the museums. Well, how about this? Free museums in Paris. Almost seems too good to be true. But, true it is. You can save your Euros for a sumptuous lunch, instead. Finding…
Unfortunately, it's not a cabaret show, but it may leave you dancing in your seats. (Vegetarians, look away now.) Asia is home to some of the widest selection of foods and cuisines in in the world. They take their food seriously, and they treasure every bite. So, when you first set foot…
Yawn. Maybe you've already been around the world and have seen it before and done it before. Or perhaps your partner loves to hang-glide through enemy airspace on your holidays. Or, you might just want a bit of relaxation and "you time." Perhaps you just need a little time away (I…

Well, let us once again, remind you of why living in this time in space is not bad at all. Technology brings us all together and not only can we explore our planet, but we can also find ways of saving money to do it. In this case, how does cheap flights with…
Once upon a time, a clever person, L. L. Zamenhof, pondered how many languages there are (more than 7,100 languages are spoken in the world today) and wondered if there was a better way to communicate? Zamenhof then devised Esperanto, which is the world's most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. It was intended…
We expect that most of our hip and erudite readers have been to New York City: of course you have. And, probably many times, as there is no end to the entertainment in that most flamboyant of cities. It's hard to get tired of the city, as you pound the pavement. But…
As of this writing, at least where we live, it's cold and snowy, and it looks like it will stay that way for some time. Grey, wet and miserable. The sun goes down at 5:00pm and stays that way until April. Yuk. Boy, would we sure would like to be somewhere warm…
Who says that web pages are a thing of the past? Yes, everyone is on their mobiles nowadays, even your grandmother. But, sometimes you just need something bigger, more panoramic, to really get the real flavour of a place, especially if you are longing to visit there. Well, if your trip is still…
We here at Matouring love to travel. Trains, planes and automobiles get us where we want to go. And we have been lucky enough to travel to places new and old. (We prefer the latter.) And, if you are fortunate enough to travel, you will probably be able to watch the progression…
Another activity for you based in London. It's quite interesting, with lots of history and even Aldus Huxley features here. But, one of the nicest pluses of this activity is that it is free. We're talking about Senate House. Here are the basics: Senate House is the administrative centre of the…
If you're fortunate enough to be able to travel, and you have already traveled afar, you may wonder what to do if you feel like you've been there and done that. Where should you go next? Especially since there are 195 countries in the world - that's a lot of ground to cover, in more…
Attention skiers. It has been reported that European alps are predicted to have the highest loss of mass in at least 60 years. Not good. So the Guardian has picked this week a feature on the sustainable ski resort of Laax, a greener, more environmentally-conscious alternative to other ski resorts. Ice melting…
You know, sometimes we are in so much of a hurry when we're traveling, that we miss so many interesting and unusual things that are around us. We can only imagine the amount of thought, design and execution that takes place in order to provide us with sensible, organised, fluid and welcoming spaces at…
We love India, and the Indian people. We've worked and live alongside them for decades. We've visited their country and marveled at the variety there. Even now, half a world apart, one of India's great cities, Delhi, is not too far away. Restaurants, festivals and close friends keep the spirit of…
