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…
.... that likes taking the scenic route? R2-Detour. Oh, ha ha ha. We crack ourselves up sometimes. And why not? You only live once. Depending on where you live, enjoying the Disney experience may never present itself to you for one reason or another. And that would be…
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.…

When something secret shows up in the most public of places. It's no news that, many many years ago, Korea was divided into two; South Korea and North Korea. (If your history of this period is sketchy, the country was split apart primarily as a result of the end of World War II and…
Why should the rich be the only ones who get in on all of the good things in life? Well, yes, of course, they're rich. But why does that matter? Yes, you're right, I understand that their riches often pay for the luxuries that us Hoi polloi have. Fine, so they…
Want to go back, way back in time when the Beatniks and the Hippies roamed the earth? Want to explore a place that most certainly is not on your written agenda? How about a road trip to Coolville? Yes, the name of this town in Ohio, USA is Coolville. At first…
You will have had to been hiding under a rock if you're not aware of the horrors of what has been happening in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Call us naive, but prior to this horror show on Russia's part, it felt like the world was going in the right direction. It felt…
No, it's not the name of some new trendy Pale Ale. Still, we wish we could have been around when the first nations of Canada named this place. We would love to have seen the discourse and decision-making. We wonder who finally triumphed in the name game. Was it rock, paper,…
