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…
If ever there was a city that has universally admired vibes, its Sydney, Australia. And rightly so. The vibes are real, as are the people. Gorgeous weather, sea, sun and more, it’s worth the flight. Go, mate!
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…
Our affiliate friends, Scott's Cheap flights, has been rebranded as Going. Simple! (No, this is not a farewell message from one of our team members.) So who is Scott and why is this noteworthy? His business model is simple, yet brilliant. 1. Follow airports. 2. Choose destinations …
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. It's big, to say the least. (OK, we guessed that you would want to know: Earth's circumference is the distance around…
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…
If you're not from Asia, you'll often find that it's a most fascinating and unpredictable part of the planet. We love that. Why see the same old same old when you can be a part of something that may be once in a lifetime. And, after running this website for a number…
Nothing succeeds like excess, so here's another spy-themed post for all of you hepcats who like espionage and the 1960's. For background, Napoleon Solo is a fictional character from the 1960s TV spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The series format was notable for pairing the American Solo, played by Robert Vaughn, and the…
...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. It may not sound interesting, but these…
Many of us still work, even though we're reaching that age of not having to. (We're retired, but we run this website because it's fun, it keeps us on our toes, and periodically a few dollars come in here and there to keep our chins up.) But, we don't need to say this…
If we could, we would like to spend most of our days floating in the bath-like waters of almost any beach or island, no matter where it is. Truly, is there anything better than lying face-up or face-down in the sand (or on a rocker or a hammock) as you slowly roast yourself to…
We're noticing that more and more people are noticing that Canada is a rather nice place to travel. Over 32 million people travel to the Great White North each year, and over 1 million Canadians call travel their line of work. It's a nice place to visit, as it is so diverse, especially…
Oh, yeah? Let's see what you're really made of. How many laps do you think you can do in a pool that is 1,013 meters (3,324 ft) in length with a total area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres)? Yes, we thought so, too. Sure, you might be able to do a…
As much as we love to travel, we're well aware of the impacts that travel can have. Especially when we think about flying, which is almost always a component of our travel. Today's aircraft are incredible when it comes to how far they can fly. For example, a Boeing 777-300ER has a…
Brace yourself: this will likely be a touchy subject for some. Right up front, we'll state that this post is about Iran. As of this writing, Iran is politically boiling and is, in many places, generally not a good place to be, especially if you're a tourist. As is what is happening…
