Tavallera

September 25, 2016 by David LeighLeave a Comment

Ramon’s shoulder blade was broken. His uncle, a doctor, issued his diagnosis after one look. Thanking us, he started to prepare for the drive to Figueres hospital. We drove down to our apartment, making the supermarket barely five minutes before it closed. Lugging the five litre container up two flights of stairs we slammed the front door shut. As we poured the water straight down our parched throats, we began to laugh with pure joy. What a … [Read more...]

How I Had a 5D4N Budget Vacation in Singapore for P7200 (RM 620)

September 23, 2016 by Jose Carlo2 Comments

So I've just grabbed a three days off from my work here in Malaysia and was wondering where to go to? Since I have limited resources, I've selected the two countries accessible by bus transport from Malaysia - Thailand and Singapore. With time consideration, I heard from a local colleague that a bus ride to Thailand will take me 8 hours to Hatyai (but not yet Bangkok - only on the border of Malaysia-Thailand) and only 4 hours to … [Read more...]

Sand Dunes and Sunset Kiteboarding in Jericoacoara

September 21, 2016 by Patricia PagenelLeave a Comment

Jericoacoara - Think sand dunes, warm water, strong winds, and epic kiteboarding sessions. Oh, and a cold Caipirinha while watching the sunset from the sand dunes after a hard day... What used to be a small fishing village has long become a mecca for wind water sports such as kiteboarding and windsurfing. Located 300 km west of Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, or Jeri as it is commonly known, is a great place to experience windy activities but also to … [Read more...]

These surprises are everywhere you go and pop up when you least expect it, like finding a Pokemon Go character you did not anticipate seeing.

Quiet Rome: underground houses, secret gardens and amazing artworks

September 15, 2016 by Alexandra Eternity Tours1 Comment

If you know where to look, Rome is one of the most peaceful capital cities in the world. Get away from the traffic and the crowds queuing to get into the Vatican Museums, and you’ll discover quiet piazzas, tranquil parks, and museums where the statues outnumber the visitors. I’ve spent the last three years living in Rome, exploring the city on my own or in the company of a tour guide from my company, Through Eternity. Nothing beats exploring … [Read more...]

How to Travel Without Selling EVERYTHING

How to Travel Without Selling EVERYTHING

It's a common belief that in order to set off on a long-term travel adventure, you need to sell EVERYTHING. And why wouldn't you think that when the "About Us" section of a number of travel blogs mention they sold everything to travel the world. Of course, while that may be a great way to make your dream a reality, I'm here to tell you that this is not you can travel without selling EVERYTHING! "NO NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, SIMPLY … [Read more...]

September 13, 2016 by Habeeb Salloum1 Comment

By Habeeb Salloum and Muna Salloum ----------- We were excited and so were our stomachs as we headed out for a three-day tour of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia’s paradise isle. Leaving our immaculate 4-star hotel, Sydney’s Hampton Inn, we made our way through Cape Breton’s green coastline to Indian Brooks. The scene before us was breathtaking.

A Perfect Picture Paradise, Pissouri Cyprus

September 12, 2016 by Dave9 Comments

After another epic yet challenging trip in Jordan followed by the stresses of travelling in Lebanon I was more then ready to go somewhere and 'do nothing'. However, one never really knows if your perception of a relaxing destination will actually meet your expectation once you arrive. Time and time again I've been disappointed when looking for the "perfect" place to relax - a place that is not overly touristy, has a good vibe, is surrounded by … [Read more...]
