We love to look back at the past, although sometimes its painful having seen how little our species has learned over the decades. So, it's a bit of a thrill to be able to rewind to something unique and rather amazing that was born, faded away and then has come sharply into focus once…
Do you feel sad, with nowhere to go? Do you want to get away but can't think of of ways to break free and be the person you want to be? Well, then, you've come to the right place. We may have a solution for you. And this is not some "quack…
Come see “the breaded ones”
Easyjet manage around 1,800 flights and carrying around 250,000 customers per day. They have to be good.
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…
Another instalment of our continuing series of webcams all across the planet, where you can - in real-time - vicariously relax in a place where you might never have been before. Here, we feature South Africa's Cape Town, and the lovely Clifton 4th beach. Picture a crescent-shaped strip of soft, powdery white sand…
There are few things as thrilling and legendary as the Tour de France. (French pronunciation: [tuʁ də fʁɑ̃s], English: Tour of France) is an annual men's multiple-stage bicycle race primarily held in France. It is the oldest of the three Grand Tours (the Tour, the Giro d'Italia, and the Vuelta a España) and is…
Join us today as we time-travel back to the 1940s through to the 1960s. For many mature people, those were the halcyon days. Jazz was king, most world economies were robust and entertainment was at the top of the list, especially after World War II. Out of this mélange of influences and…
... or how to beat the 90-day Brexit rule and live in France for six months a year. Your editor is British, although I don't live there at the moment. But, of all of the several places that I have lived, Britain is the place that I hold dearest. So, when…
Wolves get a bad rap in the human world. Throughout history, wolves have often been portrayed negatively in folklore, mythology, and fairy tales. They are often depicted as villains, symbols of darkness, or as creatures that prey upon livestock and humans. These stories have perpetuated negative stereotypes and fear of wolves. But, anyone…
When your admin was young, and when the summer months finally arrived, one thing that we looked forward to was the chance to go camping. Our lovely and loving parents always found a way for us to spend our summers exploring. That's where we got our wanderlust. Rather than sitting at home,…
Riddle me this: you need to travel from A to B, but the logistics are getting in your way, literally. If it takes too long on a boat to get there, what are your options? Fly, you might say. OK, but, in this case, there are dozens of islands with no…
From our viewpoint, Chile is a country that doesn't get enough "travel love," compared to so many other countries. We might be a little bit guilty of that too, but not for long. To be fair, Chile is quite a hike to get to. Flight connections are not always easy, nor cheap.…
We love history, and we love living history even better. And what does that entail? Certainly learning about history is exciting enough, but when you can see it or, in this case, sleep in it, then that's when things get really exciting. It would ne nice to sleep in Windsor Palace,…
Do hotels make you tired? Whether you're an avid traveler, or a weary business slogger, for the most parts, hotels seem to be all the same. That's not a bad thing, of course, but if leaving home and staying in typical accommodations is a standard component of your adult life (or even if…
We set up a remote work community in the Tuscan mountains. One of our favourite sites / YouTube channels is Euronews.com. Mostly focused on Europe, our favourite place in the world, Euronews is also focused on the rest of the big wide world. They're erudite, funny, playful and right on target when…
Travel can be a complex undertaking, even in the best of times. There are so many moving parts to most itineraries, and it doesn't help when one (or more) of the pieces falls out of place. Here is one story - courtesy of Gary Leff's "View from the Wing" site. (We've featured him…
The title of this post not only applies to life in general, but it also applies to the subject of the post: the Columbia Ice Fields in Banff, Alberta, Canada. One of the few remaining glaciers in North America, this precious resource of Mother Nature is - literally - breathtaking. We've done…

We travel a lot, and we assume you do, too. It's one of the best things in life, especially as you get older and you have learned to appreciate the finer, more subtle joys that life brings. But, sometimes you are pleasantly pleased by an unexpected find. In this case, we're speaking…
