A long weekend exploring Geneva

October 15, 2017 by Sally St. MarseilleLeave a Comment

My idea of a good way to spend a bank holiday weekend is none other than jet setting off to a foreign land. My best friend was traveling in Italy and Switzerland, so I decided to meet her in Geneva for 3 days. Let me start off by saying that Geneva is not cheap. Ranked as the most expensive city in Europe, anywhere you go for food or drinks, is generally overpriced. So if you’re a backpacker on a budget, Geneva (and the majority of … [Read more...]

Top European Hiking Trails

March 29, 2017 by Connor CLeave a Comment

While some people tend to be instantly drawn to cities and beaches when they think of Europe, there is in fact far more on offer on the continent that most of us realise. Sightseeing aside, it should not be forgotten that there are just as many remote and fascinating mountain ranges and hiking trails in Europe as there are in other parts of the world which tend to get more publicity on the subject. If you are looking to try your hand at hiking … [Read more...]

Mongolia, Land of the Horse People

February 12, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar1 Comment

It’s almost impossible to tell the story of Mongolia without inevitably mentioning Chinggis (Genghis) Khan. Seven centuries ago, he exploded onto Mongol and world history with a sonorous impact that still reverberates throughout the nation today. But there is far more to Mongolia than our fanciful musings of green, pastoral steppes trampled by marauding hordes of nomadic warriors on horseback. Indeed, Mongolia is a study in contrast, a traveler’s … [Read more...]

Surprised in a good way by Taipei

February 5, 2017 by Dave8 Comments

I have flown into Taipei many times over the years but never really explored the city or the surrounding countryside. For some reason I never had any interest in doing so. However, after spending 4 days in Taipei recently, I must admit that my perception of the city has changed dramatically. For those who have never been to this part of the world, Taiwan makes an excellent first choice/introduction to Asia. It is easy to get around and … [Read more...]

Sam Shank, CEO HotelTonight

The idea behind HotelTonight is to provide discounted hotel rooms based on last … [Read more...]

Urban Camping, Zürich Switzerland

July 15, 2016 by Dave11 Comments

On a bright partly cloudy sunny day I found myself tethered to a speeding boat in Lake Zürich Switzerland, attempting my first wake boarding. Several fellow journalists enjoying cold beers and sunshine were watching me from the boat while I found myself struggling to stay warm in the early summer's cold waters. Fortunately they were also cheering me on. I was pulled out of the water successfully on the first try and then again 5 subsequent times. … [Read more...]

Visit Liechtenstein – June 2016

June 1, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

This small country is nestled among some of Europe's most picturesque alps - between Switzerland and Austria. A visit to the country starts with time in Vaduz, the capital city. This small city can easily be explored in a few hours. Rising high above Vaduz is the the road to the ski and summer town of Malbun. The road is narrow and steep at times - passing above gorgeous scenery, the valley far below and the jagged snow capped mountains rising … [Read more...]
