War is hell. Let’s put an end to it.
The Thinking Traveller
We've been to Cartagena, Colombia many, many times. Why, you may ask? We have family there, but - even more - it's such a wonderful place to be (as is all of Colombia.) Relaxed, hip, diverse, fun and rich in history. And the food transcends. Located on the northern coast…
Once again, we return to the UK for this post, but this post is a bit specific. You should know by now that England (and all of the UK) is filled with locations, activities and history that are hard to beat. Literally, at every corner, there is something from antiquity that will stop…
If you're a business, changing the name of your organization can be a bit of a nightmare. For example, in 2015, Google reorganized under a new name, Alphabet. Pop Quiz: how many of you recall Google Alphabet? Not too many, we would wager. Here's another one that will really prove your age:…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
We will remember this time in history as the time where everything went wrong all at once. Between Covid, forest fires, floods, earthquakes and people fighting each other, probably not even knowing why. So, to add salt to the wound, there are even problems with obtaining planes to be able to shuttle those who…
It's sometimes a stigma if we signal that we want to be alone for a while. There is nothing wrong with that. Usually we're our best company - at least we can be honest with ourselves - maybe. Being alone provides the opportunity to connect with your thoughts, feelings, and interests…
Happily, this is, for the most part, a philosophical question and not a pragmatic one. But what if? You're not a pilot, you've never even flown a Cessna 172 and now you, the hero, are faced with the plot of a bad movie. The pilot and co-pilot are not fully cognizant. …
If there's a vice or a trade that hurts animals, we're against it. The wanton, senseless murder for sport went on for far too long to the point of annihilating a number of species, many of them endangered to being with. But, are you heading off on a mindful safari? How…
Let's propel ourselves into another epoch and era, and it's all about art. Rest assured that this will not be some stiff academia boffin boring you to tears. The period we'll be highlighting here is all about Art Nouveau and, even better, it's short and sweet and it's a treat. As a…
Here's another delightful bubbling under find (for most of us.) We scour the globe every day to find little known destinations for you. It was only recently when we discovered the Perhentian Islands. A visit to the Perhentian Islands is taking a step into a rare, exotic paradise, and the perfect place to…
For example, Singapore Airlines’ New York City to Singapore route: its longest flight path, which connects Singapore’s Changi Airport with New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, 9,585 miles away, takes 18 hours and 40 minutes
