British and American passports slide down global rankings as 2019 index is published

British and American passport holders may be concerned to hear that the value of their passports has slipped down the global rankings, with both citizenships sliding a number of places in the 2019 Nomad Passport Index. According to the annual research carried out by the leading offshore consulting firm Nomad Capitalist, Luxembourg citizens have the best passport in the world for the second year running.

Why now is the time to visit Cyprus

Why now is the time to visit Cyprus

After visiting the island of Cyprus last year (located in the far eastern reaches of the Mediterranean Sea) I became enchanted by it's beauty, the slower pace of life in the small towns, its food (including seafood) and drink and the mesmerizing beauty of it's beaches. I visited Pissouri (only about a 90 minute drive from Nicoscia). Pissouri allowed me to check off everything I was looking for in a relaxing Mediterranean … [Read more...]

Three Must See Sights in Northern Cyprus

Three Must See Sights in Northern Cyprus

Last summer when I mentioned to people I was planning a trip to Cyprus (Northern Cyprus as well), I often received blank stares or the question "where is Cyprus". A little geography is in order; the island is in the Mediterranean Sea - in the far eastern reaches south of Turkey and just west of Lebanon. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean after Italy's Sicily and Sardinia. I flew from Beirut, Lebanon - there are certainly … [Read more...]

A Perfect Picture Paradise, Pissouri Cyprus

A Perfect Picture Paradise, Pissouri Cyprus

After another epic yet challenging trip in Jordan followed by the stresses of travelling in Lebanon I was more then ready to go somewhere and 'do nothing'. However, one never really knows if your perception of a relaxing destination will actually meet your expectation once you arrive. Time and time again I've been disappointed when looking for the "perfect" place to relax - a place that is not overly touristy, has a good vibe, is surrounded by … [Read more...]

Great Spots for Island Hopping

November 4, 2015 by Megan TLeave a Comment

Great Spots for Island Hopping

One of the best parts about travelling is that you can explore multiple locations that you’ve loved on past visits or are eager to discover. While all-inclusive destination holidays can be relaxing and fun, they don’t give you the opportunity to move from one great spot to the next the way you can with a cruise. Whether you’re a history geek looking to visit historical sites, or a culture fan wanting to soak up the local music and food scene, … [Read more...]

Top 10 underrated beauty spots in Europe

Forget the stigma that some of Europe’s beach resorts have picked up over the years (Kevin and Perry, The Inbetweeners, Sun, Sex and Suspicious parents…), even the busiest islands have a diverse range of resorts to suit all tastes and their fair share of culturally significant tourist stops. Make sure you book your 2014 holiday now to get the best deals, and give yourself enough time to scour some European beauty spots. 1) Majorca Majorca is … [Read more...]

The Cyprus Tug o War

April 6, 2011 by Roni WeissLeave a Comment

The Cyprus Tug o War

The first thing that drew me to Cyprus is that they are another of those countries that "doesn't exist". The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognized by Turkey itself. It's also known as "North(ern) Cyprus". According to the European Union (and much of the world), the whole island is one country. The reality of this is pretty clearly in dispute, as the TRNC runs its own border control at its (internationally unrecognized) … [Read more...]
