For some of you, this post is probably a non-starter: some people just love to take off on their own, see their sites, take their own time and be free - literally - to do what they want. It's liberating in many ways, and just as scary in others. But, the world…

Listening to Marvin, all night long and living in French caves was all the rage in 1964. And if that doesn't make you want to be a cave dweller - even if you think that you know France - then what about this? Trôo is a charming village located in the Loire Valley region…
. . . with many a winding turn as The Hollies once said in their song "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother." And, sadly isn't that the truth, even more today? In today's world climate, every day, every footstep feels longer, heavier and more ponderous. But let's put this simile aside for now and…
Despite us living here in the Pacific Northwest of North America, and having traversed a lot of it, something new appeared to us yesterday about this vast region that was quite interesting. To preface this find, we should probably start out by explaining how much of this part of the earth is covered by…
Up until a few days ago, we'd never heard of Mount Bromo, let alone get a hankering to want to visit. After some clever investigation courtesy of your editor's clever better half, we started to look into. It's one of those places that you will need to make a concerted effort to visit,…
Every day we wake up in the morning and look forward to our "job," which is find fun new things for you to enjoy. Lucky us, as we get to enjoy the content, too. We periodically highlight this "duty," as it gives us great enjoyment, as well. We always do…
If you're the nervous type when you drive, especially around town, this post is mostly not for you. Even if you consider yourself to be Speed Racer, you may want to think twice. And even if you think you're a local when you drive in Europe (in this case, Spain) you'll really want…
We like to work with many travel companies, mainly because it gives us the depth and breadth to offer you a diverse mix of choices. If you're the avid travelers that we suspect you might be, you want to skip the "been there, done that" locations and go the extra mile to make that…
Here's another post for you where we excitedly present another pulse-racing location in the world that you may not know about but should . . and will. Many of these are available for all to wander through, at no cost other than what you pay to arrive. Some are spectacularly remote, others…
I always feel that somebody's watching me, especially in Sibiu. Does that ring a bell for you? Probably not, because Sibiu is one of those hidden gems that has still remained hidden. Sibiu, located in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, is a charming city with a rich history, stunning architecture, and a vibrant…
Nope. That's not a typo. It's a real place, it's really interesting, and you can almost visit it. It's so interesting that the owners have had to implement measures so that overzealous spelunkers and just your average curious tourists do not burst through the trees and start to take selfies. So…
Reach for the stars and you may get a handful. And that is an idiom (that we just made) up that might well describe the pickle that Dubai is in now with it's gobsmackingly huge Ain Dubai project. Intended to be the largest Ferris wheel in the world, this awesome - literally awesome…
Step by step. Inch by inch.
Double your pleasure, double your fun. Trainball, anyone?
You know our mantra here on our site. We love travel and we love history, and we love it when we can combine the two. And we love it even more when we find hidden treasures around the globe. Even more, it's always a thrill to be able to highlight history in…
It's September of 2023. Any thinking person will be aware of and supportive of UNESCO. As we watch the world fall / burn to pieces over these past couple of years, we need the organisation even more. Big oil is still beating its chest to the call of dozens of waiting billionaires.…
Ya gotta go sometime. Why not visit Colma, California?
One thing about the world is that you'll never run out of things to do. Lucky us. And here we feature another such place that we're willing to bet that most of us haven't heard of, let alone seen. It's Ajara. A region located in southwestern Georgia, it offers a unique…
Hands up – how many of you have visited Ohrid?
This is the road less traveled. Slow down and visit forgotten places.
