A Safari through Cuba’s Wilderness Island

December 13, 2008 by Habeeb SalloumLeave a Comment

I felt content as our catamaran gently sailed through the gentle waters of Bahia de Nipes on our way to Cayo Saeta, located 120 km (75 mi) southeast city of Holguin in eastern Cuba. The bar on the catamaran was open and everyone in our group with drinks in their hands was enjoying the massage of the soothing breeze. We lazed in this glorious do-nothing atmosphere, thinking of the day we would soon spend on a pristine island, literally … [Read more...]

On Location with Iconic Californian Movies

December 8, 2008 by HostelBookersLeave a Comment

Head to the Golden State and stand on the corner with Douglas, have a drink with Crowe and go to jail with Spacey. One of the great motivators of sightseeing in America is finding a little street downtown or a log cabin upstate where a great movie was once filmed. Having your picture taken at a setting that once lent itself to an iconic movie scene is something that you can keep forever! Here's a look at some of the locations from popular … [Read more...]

Almost alone in the Peruvian High Andes

November 26, 2008 by ElizabethLeave a Comment

I've been asked by several people why I'm spending all my time in the Andes and not seeing the rest of this diverse country. In my email below I provide my answer. I warn you that it's long, so if you are too busy or not interested, please delete now! I just returned from an incredible adventure in the mountains, and I'm at a loss for words... Whenever I visit spectacular scenery I always fail to find words to express the fullness of what I … [Read more...]

Architecture in Tokyo

October 10, 2008 by HostelBookersLeave a Comment

From Fishing Village to Ultramodern Metropolis Tokyo began life as an humble fishing village but, having been effectively rebuilt after extensive damage sustained during WWII, today it is a futuristic blend of neon lights and towering skyscrapers. And there's far more to these modern buildings than functionality - from the giant advertising screens in Shinjuku to the technology stores of Akihabara, Tokyo's architecture is a chaotic mix of … [Read more...]

La vida Argentina: Passion. Protests. Mate. Puppy Eyed Stares.

September 24, 2008 by ElizabethLeave a Comment

Greetings from Buenos Aires! Salutaciones de Nuestra Senora de Santa Maria del Buen Aire! Its a cold but bright sunshine filled day in Buenos Aires. Just finished sipping a cappucino at a classic cafe in La Recoleta where the elderly men still dress in suits and older women wear fur coats for their afternoon java jolt. Prior to coffee we were communing with the dead in the Recoleta cemetery. Our taxi driver had difficulty … [Read more...]

Exploring Turkey’s South West Coast

August 24, 2008 by Ginnie R3 Comments

Turkey is one of the world’s most popular destinations for tourists, and it’s easy to understand why. The year round sunshine and balmy climes while its European neighbours are battling the biting cold is just one. But the warmth doesn’t just come from the sun; it is also exuded from the Turkish people, who are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people on the planet. From the Blue Mosque and spice bazaar in Istanbul to the Ottoman … [Read more...]
