One of the big complaints about traveling is about how damned expensive it can be. Especially after Covid pummeled the travel industry into the ground, only now is it rising from the ashes, but with rising prices as well. According to NerdWallet's Travel Price Index, the overall cost of travel is up 9%. …
Have you been to Iceland? Well, here's a fab idea, even if you have. I've never been camping before. There was no assembling tents at Girl Scouts or hopping into an oversized RV, not even a pop up in the backyard. So, when I told friends and family that my partner and I were renting…

As thick as this post may seem, and as (probably) confusing as it's title is, your editor has had an on and off relationship with Iceland for quite a while. We've been several times, and your editor's intrepid son, had a good time, but I walked away a bit disappointed. C'est la vie, we…
This post takes us back. In the early days of Matouring, finding content could turn out to be a real ordeal. There were companies (such as Expedia and Booking.com (both affiliates of ours to this day) and we thank them for their work, their style their variety and, most of all, bringing us…
We're pretty confident that this post will ring some bells or at least offer a laugh or two, and even some sound ideas. Question: what do you do when you consider yourself a world traveler, tried and true, with all of the scratches, burns and bump that it entails, but then, slowly and…

Leave it to Johnny Foreigner to point out what you have. Many in the USA take for granted what the country actually offers. If you get away from the snide comments and the sometime questionable behaviour of its citizens, it can be a real epiphany if you've never made the leap. We…
