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.…
Ah, it's a funny old world, isn't it? When things go wrong, you have a few choices. 1. Get angry and throw a fit. 2. Just deal with it - it happens. Or 3 - in this case. Turn it into a laugh-out-loud lesson. An American Airlines passenger arrived…

Pity the poor residents of Gibraltar (sometimes known as "The Rock".) For decades they have been "frozen" in a, so far, dilemma that doesn't seem to have an imminent solution, but does have a looming deadline. (For reference, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain's south coast. It’s dominated by…
Aleutian nations. Geddit? As always, we here at Matouring do our very best to bring you new and interesting travel options. The world is full of them and - even with our thousands of posts - Matouring has only scratched the surface (of the earth) and we awaken every morning, looking forward to…

Surely this has crossed your mind at one time or another. Let go of your humdrum day-job for a bit. Fly away and do nothing but simply have fun. Take the kids if you have them. If not, simply act like one. And we have the place for you. …
Looking for your next travel destination? Are you a music fan? Do you like to mix the two, maybe with a little ganja and history? Well, we have the perfect combination for you. You've probably guessed it - it's Jamaica. You know it - the Caribbean island nation, that has a…

The more that we continue to work on Matouring, the more we realise how much "world" is out there. That may sound rather simplistic, but even in these modern days of being "connected" 24x7, we are still bedazzled at how much we haven't yet seen, and we've been to many, many places. We've…
Most of us will be lucky to stay just one night in Davos, so 50 nights is a faraway dream. But, as they say, dreaming is free. The spectacular Alpengold hotel in Davos, Switzerland has so many awe-inspiring aspects about it, it's worth highlighting here, even if we never are able to…
Even though their shelf life is probably limited, super cars and sports cars are here to stay and, for many of us, we're glad that they are. Especially when you take a look back cars from the '50s, 60s and onwards. What we see nowadays, for the most part, are econoboxes that all pretty much…
We won't spend too much time discussing the dimensions of our beloved planet Earth. That's something that we all should have learned when we were supposedly learning things in school.

Everyone - including us - always write about the many splendors of Italy. There are so many - where do you even start? That's why it continues to be one of the top destinations, year upon year. And we're sure that will continue to be the case for millennia. Even on…

...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…
If you're a rational person and are aware of the way the world (especially the Internet) works, the video below's title probably sounds like clickbait, but the as you further watch the video below, it actually describes a technology that we use even now - smelting.
