Backpacking Across the Island of Malta, Gozo and Comino

Are you an experienced backpacker? Are you looking for a place to visit in Europe? Or are you a newbie backpacker who want to take it easy and slow on your first adventure? If you answer yes to one or more of the questions, Malta is the best bet. Many local and foreign travelers associate Malta with four awesome phrases or words — small, warm summer temperature, picturesque, and safe. Travelers who’ve been backpacking for a long time actually … [Read more...]

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

January 6, 2019 by Dave7 Comments

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo'orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic. I've long built up the mystique of this island in my mind based upon stories my mother related from a several month trip she took to the South Pacific in the 1960s. Mo'orea was by far her favorite island in the French Polynesia. While Mo'orea has certainly changed since those days, a visit to the island is like walking … [Read more...]

Exploring Two Iconic Cities, New York and San Francisco

Located on opposite ends of the coast, both New York and San Francisco offer a rich variety of experiences and activities on but for different reasons. New York is an older city and certainly much larger often overwhelming for first time visitors which is why signing up for New York Tours is a good idea.

“Advancing in a different direction.” The lows and highs of an Indian Ayurveda Retreat

November 11, 2018 by Pete MartinLeave a Comment

“Advancing in a different direction.” The lows and highs of an Indian Ayurveda Retreat

There is a slither of daylight creeping through the windows that are covered by heavy red drapes. I stay in bed to keep warm. My room is just as bad this morning as it was in the dark on arrival last night. There’s a draught from the chimney, so I adjust the wood cover to prevent cold air from entering. The hard floor is ice cold when I put my feet down. From my window, the sky is misty over the hills outside. The window is slightly open and I … [Read more...]

Experiencing the Real Nevis Through Artisan Dining and Locally Run Inns

October 2, 2018 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

Experiencing the Real Nevis Through Artisan Dining and Locally Run Inns

Situated in the refreshing trade wind breezes of the Leeward Island chain in the West Indies, Nevis remains authentically Caribbean eschewing the homogenization that has befallen so many other island destinations. This means absolutely no strip development, fast food chains, casinos, or stoplights and only one international brand resort on this 36 square mile island. Nevis's 12,000 residents live in villages where no buildings exceed the height … [Read more...]

10 Days of Greece Holidays – 1Girl, 1Guy, 1Crazy Adventure

September 11, 2018 by Savvy Fernweh2 Comments

10 Days of Greece Holidays – 1Girl, 1Guy, 1Crazy Adventure

Recently I visited Greece for a 10 day holiday. Before planning our travels, I had some questions: - What are the best islands to visit in Greece? - Where to stay? - What to do? We had only 10 days and wanted this to be a dream trip. So we carefully chose to visit Santorini island, Mykonos island and Vikos Gorge in Zagoria. Although we had multiple flights through Athens, we did not really explore the city. Here are our favorite places … [Read more...]

Slave Trade Sites Part 2: Gorée Island, Senegal.

August 18, 2018 by Pete Martin3 Comments

Slave Trade Sites Part 2: Gorée Island, Senegal.

It’s a short ferry ride to Île de Gorée (Gorée Island) from Senegal’s capital, Dakar. I wonder if I can take another day of slave museums in my worn-out state after a severely delayed flight. I quickly regret this stupid thought. Of course I can; it’s only a lack of sleep. It bears absolutely no comparison with what these people went through, so I’m sure that I can find the energy to pay my respects. Everything is calm belying the awful … [Read more...]
