It's rather amazing when you go from one place to another - in the same country - and then haven't a clue about what they're saying. There's regional slang, of course, which almost no-one can understand. For example, Yinz, from Pittsburgh, USA. Whaaa? That means you all (not to be mistaken with…
Another post about yet another place on this beautiful earth that may be bubbling under for you . . . and for others. Today, it's Anguilla. Anguilla is a small Caribbean island known for its stunning natural beauty, pristine beaches and warm hospitality. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting. …
In principle, as humans, we're permitted to do what we please, unless it effects others negatively. That's the theory, anyway. As the oceans of human emotion ebb and tide, these rights of ours do the same. We've been alive for a long time and have lived through most of it. There…
If you live or have lived in the United States, the story of African Americans is a sad, troubled and still unsettled part of that country's history. Slavery is, for the most part, gone but the pain still lingers. For so many years, much of the story has been hidden behind doors, with…
You’ll need to be hardy to visit here, but the bragging rights are undeniable.
Hey presto! You’re now in Spain.
Not many places in the world are as desirable and as beautiful as the Italian lakes in Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy. How many thousands of photos have been taken there, usually by dreamy-eyed lovers who sadly realize that they may never stay in that most revered location. Why? Well, primarily it's down…
Oooh . . . a little chance for us to write a post about two things that we love: German cars, and the people who love them. And why, perchance, would this be interesting in the slightest to you, especially if you don't like classic cars? Well, number one, it's about history (and…
We love travel. We love places. We love people, everywhere. But one place that always tickles our fancy is Japan. If there has ever been a country that has gotten the balance right, it's them. The country and its people seem - almost effortlessly - to display to the world…
One thing that Europe doesn't lack is history. It's been around forever, it feels like. Actually, though, the history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500.) What is even more amazing than that, is that so…
Let’s get normal.
You're always spoiled for choice when you choose Japan as a destination. Welcoming, progressive, playful and unforgettable, it's a "no brainer" when it's time to go. But, Japan is so diverse, where should you go, especially if you've been before, or want something new. Well, say hello to Sapporo. The capital city…
Time is tight, as well as short. Money can be, too.
Luckily, there are big thinkers who think small in big ways, if you know what we mean. We're thankful for them.
One example is the capsule hotels that are dotted around - mostly in Japan, but in other countries as well. They're exactly what they say…
China gets its wings. Watch out, Boeing.
Namibia. How much do you know about this diverse country? And, for those who are clued into what Nambia has to offer, were you aware that there is a cross-country luxury train? And when we say luxury, we mean it.
Let's take a step backwards and give you the background about why…
Don't blink. Depending on where you live, you might be seduced into thinking that you're at the bleeding edge of technology. That's probably true in some cases (and some places) but, if you're not keeping up to date on what is happening around the globe, then you're probably in for a bit of…
It's not often when you have a chance to get a glimpse into history in the making, especially history that is as profound as this story is. This is a little-known tale about one of our heroes, and probably yours, too - George Harrison of The Beatles. They need no introduction, so we'll…
Public transit is the way to go! The more we use it, the better it (and the planet) gets. We are constantly banging on and on about why we should leave the car behind, when we can. As if we even need to say this in this day and age, here are…
War is not funny, nor is it something to be admired. But, learning about the horrors of war is something worth doing. History is destined to repeat itself if we don't. We feature history here on our site for those very reasons. Drive a tank? Yes, you can. And,…
Most of you need no introduction to Britain and the UK in general. It's certainly one of the top travel destinations in the world. In 2019, there were 40.86 million tourist arrivals registered in the United Kingdom. But why is it so popular? Well, where do we even start? Certainly it's because…
