Ethical: How to Avoid Cheating on Essay Writing

July 23, 2020 by Robert EverettLeave a Comment

Academic writing assignments are possibly the most challenging aspect of education. When you look at an entire class, you can identify only a few students who don’t have a problem with essays. All others would most likely avoid the struggle imposed by the process of research, writing, referencing, and endless editing. Students can justify their cheating habits with multiple reasons: • Their teachers don’t give enough instructions and … [Read more...]

Why Philosophy is an Ideal Travel Companion for Adventurous Minds

April 16, 2020 by Emily ThomasLeave a Comment

In 2019, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals globally – and, given that the planet only holds 7.7 billion humans; this figure alone suggests that a lot of us are travelling. The World Tourism Organization reports two major motivations for this – “travel to change”: the quest for local experiences, authenticity, transformation and “travel to show”: the desire for Instagramable moments and destinations. I think both trends are … [Read more...]

April 12, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

Some of my favorite activities while traveling are participating in a variety of water sports.

I've participated in the following water sports ... and you can to :) Stand up Paddle Board - my first introduction to stand up paddle boarding was a few years ago in Bermuda.

Pursuing Ski Resorts for both Winter and Summer Sports Activities

April 12, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first introduction to ski resorts was with my father at a very young age - we would pack into the car and drive several hours to the ski slopes and spend our afternoons combing up and down the slopes for coins and jewelry. Initially it was just walking while carefully studying the ground beneath our feet. You would be surprised what people lost during the ski season - we found beer cans still cold sitting in the snow, capri sun drinks - and … [Read more...]

Following a Prominent Boxer, Sports Travel

April 12, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

I had never followed any boxers or the sport before until many years ago when a friend told me about an up an coming young boxer named Andre Ward - who had taken a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics. My friend had already been following his fledgling career for several years and casually mentioned to me one day if I would like to attend a fight. We drove up to San Jose for one of Andre's early professional bouts - the crowd was small but … [Read more...]

Bucket-List Sailing Holidays

April 9, 2020 by Adil S1 Comment

When it comes to creating a bucket-list of holiday experiences you simply have to try, having a yacht or catamaran holiday features on almost everybody’s. Just imagine sitting on your own catamaran in a private bay, which you’ve gently bobbed and sailed across to, and that is miles away from anyone else. Your favourite music is playing, the smell of the barbecue being cooked drifts across, and you have your closest friends or family right there … [Read more...]

Benefits of Using a VPN when Traveling

December 9, 2019 by Dave2 Comments

One of the most important parts of my travel is being able to access Internet when on the road - my work and travels are no longer separated compared to back when I started this site in 1996. I am continuously creating content when traveling, working with various travel related brands including tour operators, hotels and tourism boards and doing select social media projects. Perhaps some might look at this as always taking work with me when … [Read more...]
