Don’t be a plane in the neck.
....on the Ivory coast. No surprise here. Crocodiles pull in the crowds. But don't let them pull you in, too, literally, as delicious as you think you look. Everyone loves a show, so please meet Félix Houphouët-Boigny, affectionately called Papa Houphouët or Le Vieux, (1905–1993) was a prominent Ivorian politician…
If you've had enough of "what's up guys?" videos and the same three places to go in Rome, may we enrich the history content for you thinking people who look forward to yesteryear, or back to the future. We often find that this kind of travel is the best kind. Why? You…
Hardly! And, so, here's another post for those with palpable wanderlust. Are you the type? Do you long to see everywhere on the planet before you shuffle off this mortal coil? Do you have no problems with wandering through the weeds or the woods to find yourself in nowhere, so to speak?…
We would guess that many of us - perhaps even most of us - will skip buying travel insurance when we go. You look at the offers, weigh the plusses and minuses and then either hope for the best, or trust that, perhaps, our credit cards will have the necessary coverage in case of…
As of this writing, it's January 30, 2024, the planet is still on fire. We humans are not getting it. It's not like we don't know what's happening, or why, or how to fix it. According to NOAA's 2023 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an…
Can't have the Hawaii's without the lows? Or is it a case of Hawaii Five No?
`A`ohe loa i ka hana a ke aloha = Distance is ignored by love. And that is the case of the $10BN Railway in Hawaii. Skyline, often referred to as simply rail or the rail…
The UK is an amusing and sometimes baffling place to those who don't frequent the country. Probably one of the most visible aspects is not only how diverse each area is, but also how different the people can be. Most countries in the world share this kind of patchwork of history, of course,…
The ever humorous Douglas Adams always knew how to turn a phrase. He wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that sold more than 15 million copies in his lifetime. Given the nature of that book, we're sure he would laugh with us at the irony of it all. As he quoted, “I…
As we like to do, let's put politics to the side for now and bask in sheer genius, instead. And, not surprisingly, we are featuring China again. The width and depth of their resources, combined with the remarkable can-do attitude and creativity still continues into this millennia. How many countries can boast…
Anyone who lives in the southeast of London surely knows of Croydon, the city that never seems to get any love. And why is that? It has a "reputation," but don't let that alter your wanderlust. There are actually quite a few attributes that you might find interesting. Croydon, located in…
It's been a while, but we're back with another episode of Never Too Small, the fab and clever YouTube channel that highlights how smart humans can be when confronted with predicaments: in this case, small living quarters. We have several episodes on our site, and they always impress us with their ingenuity, creativity…
We write a lot about Mexico, because it has a lot to offer, of course. Sun, sea, food, lovely people and it's a holiday bargain. The country is probably more diverse than you remember and, as you jaunt from city to city, you can see how Mexico is a fascinating patchwork of interconnected…
Listening to Marvin, all night long and living in French caves was all the rage in 1964. And if that doesn't make you want to be a cave dweller - even if you think that you know France - then what about this? Trôo is a charming village located in the Loire Valley region…
