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...]

There are two places in the world that claim the honor for hosting the most amazing casinos in the world; Las Vegas and Macau. Both are exclusive gambling destinations for tourists and compete in glamour and extravaganza. Casinos these days are not standalone structures, they are part of huge resorts that offer a myriad of services.

Crashing and Burning at Randy’s Rock Rapid on the Wild Colorado

August 3, 2019 by Kevin Nelson4 Comments

On a rafting trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, there are passages of high drama and excitement around every bend: House Rock Rapid, the Roaring Twenties, Little Colorado River, Crystal, Upset Rapid, Lava Falls. These are all very famous. Every guide on the river knows about them. Another rapid on the booming Colorado is not nearly as well known. You may float serenely past it without your guide even uttering a word about it, so … [Read more...]

The Things You Carry, the Things You Leave Behind

July 7, 2019 by Tom Bentley7 Comments

When I was 16, I hitchhiked with my older brother from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Being lean and hungry types, we knew we needed fortification for the long journey. So it made perfect sense that we’d load our backpacks—already substantial, with their sturdy wood and metal frames—with canned foods of every type. Chili, fruit cocktail, soup. That one of the laden backpacks now weighed about as much as a sports car wasn’t that daunting until a day or … [Read more...]

5 Important Rules To Follow Prior To Hiking Solo (Plus A Bonus Tip)

April 28, 2019 by Asen Stoyanchev2 Comments

hiking in Europe

If you are like me, sometimes you prefer hiking all by yourself instead of hitting the trails with a company. That’s completely understandable given the outstanding benefits that hiking solo has to offer. It’s far more peaceful, and it allows you to better immerse yourself with nature. You can keep your own pace and you don’t have to fit in with the wishes or needs of anybody. All that sounds great. However, going into the wilderness all … [Read more...]

How to Tell if House Sitting is Right for You

February 9, 2019 by Vanessa PalmerLeave a Comment

In the past six months, I lived in a land-locked nation where Mercedes and BMWs rank in the top five most popular cars, enjoyed endless sunny days on golden sandy beaches along the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, and for a week called a tiny New York apartment home. Digital nomads, retirees with free time, and travelers hoping to live like a local have embraced the house sitting lifestyle. Despite this trend, it remains a generally untapped … [Read more...]
