...and here's your towel.
Here's another installment in our ongoing series of stories, images and, well, anything we can find related to travel, you and James Bond. Again, you'll probably need to be of a certain age in order to really get thrilled by the world's most famous spy, but to us, the franchise…
When we travel, we must do some things, no matter where we are. Such as sleep, use the toilet and . . . eat. No matter where we are, we usually carry a particular kinship with the foods that we grew up with. And, often when you travel, you'll be faced…
We've all been there. The plane was late. The taxi didn't arrive. The hotel room wasn't quite ready. And, in a matter of hours / minutes we have to get to sleep, or wake up, or run to a meeting. The hotel restaurant isn't open yet, and it's pouring down…
Safaris used be rather dangerous and - in the case of the animals - deadly propositions. Men with names like George or Nigel would take a steam liner to Africa from one of the colonies, with their pipes, rifles and maps in hand. Sleeping rough in tents, they would spend the night regaling…
The electric interwebs are a wonderful place to be when you're looking for a holiday. That's why you're on our site, we hope! But, there is so much choice and in so many disparate places on the net, that it's sometimes hard to land a good deal.
But, here's one that you will…
Taipei is the cosmopolitan capital city of Taiwan, and a surprising mix of futuristic modernism and ancient tradition. Home to 2.6 million citizens, it’s a city that never sleeps with renowned night markets featuring arguably some of the most amazing street food in the world.

Once again, we write about camping. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? We would imagine that many don't like the idea of sleeping on wet grass, or fighting off the horde of mosquitos that camping implies, but there are ways around that by upgrading to 21st century technology that's been around…
When you travel, you never know what to expect, even when you scour the web, brochures and videos. It's full of surprises. But sometimes first impressions may not be accurate.
So, when we recently visited Peru, we stayed in a variety of places, of all types. Some were supremely outfitted with beautiful…
Roll out the barrel, and we'll have a barrel of fun says polka master Frankie Yankovic. But in this case, we're talking about real drinking (tequila) in a real barrel (where you will sleep.) You may even do both in the same place. Can you think of anything more perfect?
The Matices…
We're big fans of camping, especially because it can be so economical. From throwing your sleeping bags and tent into the back of your car, all the way up to renting a comfortable campervan, it's a great way to see the world without going bankrupt.
We're sure that many of you consider camping as…
This post is aimed at those who don't take things too seriously. And, we mean that. But hopefully your sense of humour is intact. And, at the end of you reading this, if you find yourself in that part of the world, the activity is real and it is a place where…
Camping is one of those love it / hate it propositions. Most of us are not in love with mosquitos. And, even in the summer, sleeping on the ground in a tent can be a lumpy and cold prospect. But, to be sure, the outdoor locations are usually mind-bogglingly beautiful, and you…
We travel a lot, and we love Venice. We've been there many times. You never know what you'll find, as not only does the city change (festivals, art, new places to eat) but it also stays the same and you can follow its ever-changing pulse if you so desire. But this post is about a…
If you've ever had dreams about sleeping in the clouds, then we have something to excite you. Vertical Sky Luxury Suites, situated in Ollantaytambo, Peru, promise an almost one-of-a-kind experience. In addition to breathtaking sunsets and spectacular views, you can also enjoy activities like Via Ferrata, Zipline, Bungee jumping, suspension bridge and Rapelling - all…
If you're not a horror film fan (or a vegetarian) look away now.
Just when you think it's safe to crawl out from under the sofa, another theme restaurant appears out of nowhere. And this one is nothing like Chuck E. Cheese or Taco Bell.
Some enterprising folks have repurposed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre gas station…
... you will sleep here, tonight.
All jokes aside, we're assuming that this fabulous new hotel in Copenhagen, from our affiliate friends Marriott Bonvoy says socialist, it can only mean sociable.
You could be a bit confused when you first see the stark design of the exterior, but the interior is another thing entirely.
In any case, we're…
Advertisers have begun invading our sleep in an attempt to place their products in our dreams. This is neither metaphor nor fiction; it’s a fact. The night before Super Bowl LV, the beverage company Molson Coors ran what they called the ‘world’s largest dream study’. They explicitly aimed to place images of Coors beer, along…
While we love relaxing on famous Florida beaches, we’re even bigger fans of enjoying the same warm and sunny setting while seated at a beach bar. Because, really, there’s nothing better than elevating that toes-in-the-sand experience with a tropical cocktail or ice-cold beer and perhaps a light bite or two.
Jimmy B's Beach Bar is a winner in…
Ahhh . . . New York City. NYC. The Big Apple. The City That Never Sleeps. The Greatest City in the World. The City So Nice They Named It Twice: a reference to "New York, New York. You can visit a dozen times and still find something new. But let's go back in time and…
Trains are everywhere in Europe. Some of the trains travel at high speed across the continent, while others move around leisurely, either by day or by night. Find out about the different European trains like sleeper trains, chocolate trains, high speed trains and the provided facilities for a clear idea of what train travel in…
