I am British, but have lived in a number of places over the years. I've visited even more, just like you, I reckon. In the 1960's and 1970's, Britain was on the top of many things. Tech was one, and a highlight of Britain's prowess were the hover crafts that powered the…

Star Seeker will have 112 spacious suites, all but ten featuring a full private veranda or floor-to-ceiling infinity window. The ship also boasts five dining options (all are…
Hopping on jets and cruise ships is surely one of life's best pleasures. You know where you're going and you can't wait to get there. And, with today's selections of destinations and activities, the sky's the limit. But if you've kind of hit the wall with the typical places to frolic, may…

Do you know Chief Kamanawanalea? You will soon! Welcome to the big island of Hawaii, and there are loads of top things to do. Let's get started, shall we? An overview of Hawaii can be broken down by its distinct islands, each offering "the basics"—the foundational experiences that define the island—alongside…
You may have heard of The Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta, but did you know that Signature Tours are awaiting you? They are highly desirable because they provides a comprehensive, "one-stop" immersion into the two most contrasting souls of Southern Vietnam: its intense wartime history and its tranquil rural life.

"The ‘mythical’ vanished island scientists think is real. The title of this post probably smacks of click-bait, but we assure you that the sources are legitimate and vetted. We wouldn't publish rubbish for our readers. So, let's get started. Welcome to the Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands also known simply…
. . .that is a dead set genius? A quantum leap. Oh, ha ha.
You might think that Australia is one of those places where the air is free, the skies are wide open and getting around is mostly by car. Maybe in some of the more remote places, that's probably be the…
Oz is one of those places that everyone wants to visit, and that's no surprise, when you consider the depth and breadth that the country has to offer, even if it is rather far away from where you might be at the moment. Why is that? Perth's unique character as a travel destination stems…
...want to go to it. Welcome to La-la-land. Los Angeles, USA. It still has the punch and the awe and the draw that it's ever had. Just the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Some innocent, some asking for it. But, much like a modern Rome, LA has had…

If you spend any time scouring the travel sites (including ours) it won't take much effort to see that China is - finally - becoming the place to visit. The doors are opening up, westerners are welcomed with open arms (provided that you don't prove yourself to be an idiot) and the ways and…
Europe and the US are well-served when it comes to low-cost airlines. Especially in Europe, Ryanair and easyJet lead the way when it comes to short-haul flights, with prices sometimes in the double digits. Lucky them. Even in North America, you can save with budget airlines like Southwest Airlines, JetBlue and Breeze. …
Here's another one of those posts where you get to experience places that you may never see, but should. But this one is very particular, because it focuses on a particular place (in this case, Japan) in a particular city (Nishinomiya) and, amongst other joys, it hosts a delightful little (or should we say…
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…
Ahh, jellyfish. So loved, and yet so misunderstood. Who isn't mesmerized as we watch them drift aimlessly in the ocean or in the aquarium (but hopefully not in our bathtub.) They seem to beckon us to reach out to pet them, or at least say "hi." But, as we get older…
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.…
