Few cultures have left such a tangible mark on the world’s biggest cities. While the first Chinatown popped up in Manila in the 1500s, dozens more appeared around the globe in the 19th and 20th centuries. From Bangkok to New York, these often hard-hit ‘hoods have endured over the years, morphing from immigrant enclaves to…
We're sure that everyone who reads our site are confident travellers, with a list of destinations that is long as their arms - us included. And, alas, if you're mature travellers like us, the list is probably longer than the days that we have remaining on Mother Earth. That's not meant to sound gloomy or…
If you are reading this, then you are likely no technophobe. In fact, you may relish the opportunity to get your hands on new technology and services. We know we do here at Matouring. But, when you think about it how much is too much when it comes to taking things while you travel? Do…
By this point in 2020, I'm sure we're all ready to just blast off this planet — or at least I am. Not to mention, after recent news broke that potential life has been detected on Venus, I wouldn't mind poking around up there. I guess the main dilemma is that I wouldn’t really have anywhere…
We try to cover the earth as best we can when it comes to our articles. We're interested in everywhere, to be honest. You've seen articles here about Tokyo, or Berlin. We've featured places that you may not have even heard of, they're so obscure. But, we try to keep it…
We're not too young here at Matouring, so we remember things. Back in the 1970's, the "earth" movement really took hold. Healthy food, lifestyle and clean thoughts were at the top of the list for most "aware" folks back then. Out of that heady period came a genuine interest in making the…
There are so many fabulous places in the world in which to travel. Many of us are lucky enough to be able to do so. And, many of us have already been able to make the rounds and see all of the "star" locations, such as Paris, New York, Beijing etc.
It will come as no…
When you think of old-style mobsters, you usually think of New York City, where almost all crime happens in American cinema. But, Chicago Illinois had its run of criminals, especially in the 1930's. People like "Al" Capone, John Dillinger, "Baby Face" Nelson.... the list goes on and on.
There is still an element of romance with…
The United States is a vast chunk of land, with all types of terrain, climates and adventures. Many of you may have already visited - or may even reside there. (We did, a long time ago.) Calling it diverse would be an understatement. Most travelers tend to focus on New York, or Los Angeles, San…
As if encountering wafer-thin fashion models as they strut down Fifth Avenue in New York City isn't enough to discombobulate your sense of self, now the high-rise apartments are getting into the act.
New York has always been home to some of the world’s tallest towers, but in the last 10 years the city has seen…
New York is, of course, a marvel. Like so many other super-cities around the world, you never really run out of things to do, even if you live there. And, as always, there is constant change. But, what is equally as interesting is the "hidden" places that can fascinate. One such "hidden" place is actually…
If you’ve been to New York, you’ve probably visited Central Park. But there’s a part of its story you won't see. Before Central Park was built, a historically black community was destroyed. It’s a story that goes back to the 1820s, when that part of New York was largely open countryside. Soon it became home…

“Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.” “
There is nothing in the dark that isn't there when the lights are on.”

Some of you may remember the ground-breaking Twilight Zone television show, which entranced so many of us (of a certain age) and still resonates to this day. If you loved the…
Ahhh . . . New York City. NYC. The Big Apple. The City That Never Sleeps. The Greatest City in the World. The City So Nice They Named It Twice: a reference to "New York, New York. You can visit a dozen times and still find something new. But let's go back in time and…
Travel to countries that have collapsed around the world and one will find post-Apocalyptic worlds. In the former Soviet Union, one can find scores and scores of abandoned and crumbling factories and cities - crumbling ruins testifying to the once great Soviet Union. In America, one can find just one post-Apocalyptic world just outside of…
Where you can escape to nature close to the city, more than 130 languages are spoken, and NYC’s only surf culture thrives... As one of the five boroughs of New York City, Queens is not only the largest and second-most populated—with over two million people—but it can be a world unto itself. While tourists often…
When you look out at the Atlantic Ocean from Rockaway Beach, Manhattan and the rest of New York City feels far away.
In reality, the 10-mile-long peninsula extending from Queens past John F. Kennedy Airport is part of New York City—the distant tip of the concrete jungle, the last stop on the A train, and a…
