Campervans in New Zealand

If you are travelling with the family or with a group of friends, undertaking your journey in a campervan can prove to be an excellent choice.

You can stop at several destinations and rest for the night. Make sure to have a reliable map with you. For the tech-savvy travellers, a GPS will be an invaluable tool.

Tuk-Tuk in Thailand

If you ever find yourself in Asia, especially in Thailand, your attention will be captivated by their unique modes of transportation, the most famous of which is locally known as a tuk-tuk.
