On the Third World’s Insatiable Appetite For Hollow Consumerism

November 15, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: "Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain? Tell me, have you these in your houses? Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and becomes a host, and then a master?" -Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet Of all the cancerous cultural exports America has inflicted upon the unsuspecting innocents … [Read more...]

Olongapo: Where Navy History Meets Filipino Soul

November 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The first thing that strikes you about Olongapo City isn't the visual – it's the energy. As our jeepney rumbles down Magsaysay Drive, the main artery of this bustling port city about 80 kilometers northwest of Manila, the vibrant pulse of street life emerges against a backdrop of mountains and sea. Once home to the largest U.S. naval base outside American soil, Olongapo has transformed itself from a military outpost into a dynamic Filipino city … [Read more...]

The Most Visited Cities in the World in 2025

A never-ending debate among many travel enthusiasts is “What is the most visited city in the world?” Because every year, new destinations rise to the spotlight. A tourist looks for smooth booking and payment options when exploring new cities, and an online player will prefer a great site to enjoy the same ease, including fast and secure payments.

Chasing Winter Light in Canada

November 6, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

St Moritz, Courchevel, Chamonix, Jackson Hole… there’s a whole multitude of places to head to if you’re looking for a winter break spent on the slopes. If I had to pick just one destination, though, it would be British Columbia every time. Specifically, the mountain resort town of Whistler. This winter paradise is a real gem—think: world-class skiing, wilderness adventures, and slow-evening indulgence. Whether you're heading there for the … [Read more...]

Why You Should Read Hotel Reviews

November 5, 2025 by Lucy RobertsLeave a Comment

Hotels sparkle online with glossy photos and promises. Reality is often uncooperative. A luxurious lobby and decaying wallpaper. What avoids costly disappointment? Honest hotel reviews. Straight talk from travellers who have slept (and sometimes suffered) behind those doors, not sponsored or brochure nonsense. Do you think that pool is more of a puddle than an oasis? Should you wake up early for breakfast or avoid the soggy buffet? These reviews … [Read more...]

Exploring Lake Rio Cuarto: The Deepest Lake in Costa Rica

November 5, 2025 by A Couple for the RoadLeave a Comment

Lake Rio Cuarto is the deepest lake in Costa Rica and truly a hidden gem. I haven't seen pictures or heard of this place prior to me visiting. Most tourists never end up here, unless they stay at the exact same eco lodge I stayed at, Hotel Del Bosque. They arrange all the tours on this lake and carry people to and from the hotel and the lake. We already rented a car for the duration of our trip and we just drove there ourselves. If you'd like to … [Read more...]

Whispers of History: Exploring Reims, France and Its Resting Place

November 1, 2025 by Dave4 Comments

During my latest visit to Reims I stopped by Taittinger to see their historic caves and imbibe in some delicious Champagne including the latest release of their flagship bottling, Comtes de Champagne. The history of this site is overwhelming. Saint-Nicaise, the bishop of Reims was killed in the 5th century and was buried here. In 1229 an abbey was built by the Benedictine monks over Saint-Nicaise’s gravesite and to house his relics. The abbey was … [Read more...]
