Why it is Important to Have Travel Insurance

August 20, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip outside of the U.S. was with family to western Canada. Inspired by the summertime scenery in the gorgeous rocky mountains including moraine lakes, glaciers, snow covered tips of mountains and wildlife, upon returning home I began to dream of more overseas travels. My next trip was to Costa Rica as part of a college sponsored trip; I remember this was the first time I swam in an ocean with warm water. And the wildlife in Monteverde … [Read more...]

Solo in Sweden

August 15, 2024 by Rosie McCann1 Comment

June must be the perfect time to visit Sweden. Quite far north, and in the build-up to solstice, the sun doesn’t set until around 10pm. The flowers were in full bloom in parks and roadside.

Last June I spent a few days visiting a couple of friends who lived in Copenhagen (DK) and Lund in … [Read more...]

Is it Safe to Travel Alone in Central America?

August 5, 2024 by Isabella Parkin1 Comment

Kayaking on Lake Nicaragua

Sometimes I feel like a broken record talking about my recent backpacking trip in Central America and South America, because I’ve written so much about it on my own blog. But here I am on a brand new website, with a brand new audience, and I guess I’d better start from the beginning. I had this grand plan to spend a year backpacking from Mexico City to Santiago de Chile, completely by bus, boat, train, car; anything except from flying. This … [Read more...]
