... 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…
Life of Luxury
Stay at the SpongeBob Water Tower. Spend a holiday with Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Crabbs and the entire Bikini Bottom clan. There are three floors in which to frolic, do the twist and get into all sorts of trouble.
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?
There are probably very few people who wouldn’t like to sleep in a castle. And not a pretend castle made of drywall and ill-conceived decorations situated in Atlantic City. We mean a genuine castle, with hundreds of years of almost mind-boggling history, paintings of the landed gentry from the year 1430!
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,…
How low can you go to go big?
Some visual eye-candy that, without words, will speak for itself. Sit down with a big glass of Montepulciano and plan your next trip to the city of mirrors.
Wow. Caesar Augustus himself would have wanted to stay here.
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,…
“Man, I was tame compared to what they do now.” Elvis set the template for what a rocker should be. Now, go see where he rocked!
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…
The more that we continue to work on Matouring, the more we realise how much "world" is out there. That may sound rather simplistic, but even in these modern days of being "connected" 24x7, we are still bedazzled at how much we haven't yet seen, and we've been to many, many places. We've…
As your mother probably said, "you are what you eat." And she probably conveyed dozens more wisdom chestnuts along those philosophical lines. That's what moms are for, and they're inevitably correct. And, being mothers, they're always looking out for you, scouring the earth for news, tips, suggestions and hidden treasures to make you…
Most of us will be lucky to stay just one night in Davos, so 50 nights is a faraway dream. But, as they say, dreaming is free. The spectacular Alpengold hotel in Davos, Switzerland has so many awe-inspiring aspects about it, it's worth highlighting here, even if we never are able to…
There is never a bad time to take a cruise. And, bad cruises are rare, as long as you know what you want, and how to find it. (We have some ideas, see below.) But who would best know about cruising than the captain of one of those most majestic beasts? …
...and here's your towel.
Here's another installment in our ongoing series of stories, images and, well, anything we can find related to travel, you and James Bond. Again, you'll probably need to be of a certain age in order to really get thrilled by the world's most famous spy, but to us, the franchise…
If we could, we would like to spend most of our days floating in the bath-like waters of almost any beach or island, no matter where it is. Truly, is there anything better than lying face-up or face-down in the sand (or on a rocker or a hammock) as you slowly roast yourself to…
Oh, yeah? Let's see what you're really made of. How many laps do you think you can do in a pool that is 1,013 meters (3,324 ft) in length with a total area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres)? Yes, we thought so, too. Sure, you might be able to do a…
The rich are an interesting bunch. Some are so completely invisible, you don't even know they exist. Some are in your face almost every day: you know who we're talking about. And, lately, with social media, you can't get away from them. All you can do is marvel at their…
