Malta is the answer. And it's a place that many often forget about, which is a huge shame. If you're not in the know, Malta itself is a beautiful Mediterranean island nation with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a unique culture that makes it a compelling destination for travelers. And it's easy…
Not your typical Wild Men of Borneo.
When it comes to history, some people would rather crawl under a rock than sit and watch historians argue about who is right and who is wrong. Of course, there is usually an answer that the boffins land on eventually, otherwise we all would still be living in caves. We love history, so…
Vancouver, Canada is where we live. It is a relatively new city, even though it is still about 137 years old. Founded in 1886, and like any city, it has a chequered past, as one group of people after another passes through the fledgling community over the decades. Some came to dismantle the forests…
Want to show off to your friends? Want to add your name to the Guinness Book of World Records? Want to spend a little spare cash? Here's an odd and humorous topic for all of you high-value air travelers. This may appear to be pure selfishness, courtesy of some Johnny Bigpants, where…
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.
Here's another delightful bubbling under find (for most of us.) We scour the globe every day to find little known destinations for you. It was only recently when we discovered the Perhentian Islands. A visit to the Perhentian Islands is taking a step into a rare, exotic paradise, and the perfect place to…
Specifically, East Tokyo. Why? The New York Times has ideas.
Some people have it tough. After huffing down one Mai Tai after another, they roll over the edge of their sun-chair and into a mouthful of sand. What to do? Well, order another Mai Tai to get rid of the sand, of course "Oh! but, where is my wallet?" It's floating…
Maybe unknown to some. Maybe a bubbling-under hotspot. Maybe on everyone's lips except ours. But, in any case, let's talk about Siargao. It is a stunning tropical island located in the Philippines and has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting Siargao…
Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Why would you want to go to a place that actually has the name mosquito in it? Especially if - like us - you grew up in a place where the annual plague of mosquitos appeared every summer - without fail - and completely ruined your…
Save money: chase the travel deals
Wherever you go in the USA, one thing is for certain. You can always count on California for a hip, welcoming and relaxed experience.
Mustique is renowned for its exclusivity and privacy. Good luck getting there.
It's rather amazing when you go from one place to another - in the same country - and then haven't a clue about what they're saying. There's regional slang, of course, which almost no-one can understand. For example, Yinz, from Pittsburgh, USA. Whaaa? That means you all (not to be mistaken with…
Another post about yet another place on this beautiful earth that may be bubbling under for you . . . and for others. Today, it's Anguilla. Anguilla is a small Caribbean island known for its stunning natural beauty, pristine beaches and warm hospitality. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting. …
One thing that Europe doesn't lack is history. It's been around forever, it feels like. Actually, though, the history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500.) What is even more amazing than that, is that so…
Ho ho ho. Another bad pun courtesy of the Admin. (We'll show him the door.) But that doesn't mean that he's wrong. No, not by any means. You'll want to get Krabi. For those not in the know, Krabi is a popular tourist destination located on the west coast…
We live not too far away from Seattle, so we're pretty lucky in that sense. It's a city that makes you go "ahhh" when you get there. Hip, inclusive, bohemian and edgy all at once, it's a great way to discover this part (Pacific Northwest) of North America. And some of the…
We love to discover and feature places that may not be "getting the love" when it comes to being on the list of "places to be." Peruse our site and you'll see loads of places, things and activities that will surprise and delight you. One of these is Socotra. So, where is…
