The Paradise of Mati

May 1, 2024 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

Jaguar Wishes and Capybara Dreams: Exploring South America’s Untamed Wetlands

April 25, 2024 by Rachel LarkinLeave a Comment

Welcome to the Pantanal, the beating heart of South America, nestled within the borders of Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil's Amazon … [Read more...]

How to turn a long-haul flight into a holiday

April 20, 2024 by Maurice MooreLeave a Comment

Let's be honest, unless you are in business class, long haul flights are not much fun. However, what if I told you that there is a way to make them enjoyable, and perhaps like us, one of the highlights of your trip? After spending three months backpacking around Australia, our inevitable return was imminent. A 27-hour flight awaited us, like the final boss in a video game. However, as always, we managed to do it in a way that was more than … [Read more...]

Hotel Football scores highly with this fan

April 15, 2024 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

Hotel Football, Manchester United, Salford

It’s been more than 30 years since I last cheered on my football team at their home ground. After growing up as a regular visitor to Old Trafford in Salford, life then just got in the way and I now support them from afar (as many a Manchester United fan is besmirched for doing!) Unless you’re in possession of a season ticket – or a very large bank account(!) - having the opportunity to see them once again play on the hallowed turf of the … [Read more...]

When booking private flights, I’m usually gearing up to land and explore somewhere beautiful. Most of the time, when I travel by air, I don't expect the flight to be as captivating as the place I’m traveling to, but some flight routes make booking the most comfortable private jet and sitting glued to the window an absolute must. If you’re looking for a magnificent view on the ground and from the air, these flight routes will provide you with the … [Read more...]

7 Hidden Gems in Slovenia: Exploring Off the Beaten Path

March 25, 2024 by showcasingtheglobeLeave a Comment

Slovenia is one of the world's most in-depth countries in terms of its diversity, but at the same time, it is one of the smallest, with it taking as little as 3 hours to drive across. For such a small size, it is a country that doesn’t disappoint. Although it has its popular attractions like Lake Bled or tourist city escapes like Ljublijana, it does have its little hidden gems that don’t attract as high numbers but are equally beautiful in … [Read more...]
