As much as we love to travel, we're well aware of the impacts that travel can have. Especially when we think about flying, which is almost always a component of our travel. Today's aircraft are incredible when it comes to how far they can fly. For example, a Boeing 777-300ER has a…

This past week, we wrote a post about Cuba opening up again soon. For many countries, this is not necessarily big news, but for those living in the USA it is, as Cuba has been a banished country for so many decades that it's sad. It's a fabulous country with so much to…

If you have no interest in automobiles, skip to our next post. We're being a bit selfish. Spend some time on our site, and you'll periodically see posts about SAAB cars. We love them, and have owned almost a dozen of them - including a classic 900 cabriolet to this day. And…
This post may seem a bit late when we think about the subject matter. But, we had never imagined that we would still be discussing this to this day. There is not much to say about the aggressions that are continuing in Ukraine, as of this writing. We here at Matouring deplore…

Forget all that business about the best time to buy a flight being Tuesday at 3pm or exactly 44 days out from your flight. None of it’s true. If it was, our Flight Experts would be pretty bored most of the time instead of hard at work sending our members deals. The best time to…
