A Cultural Odyssey: Where Ancient Greece Meets Modern Wonder

January 20, 2026 by Preeth JethwaniLeave a Comment

There are few places on earth where the past feels so alive that you can almost touch it. Greece is one of them. From the sun-bleached marble columns of the Parthenon to the laughter echoing through seaside tavernas, every corner of this country carries a heartbeat that blends ancient myth with modern vitality. My journey through Greece was not just a trip—it was a cultural odyssey where history, art, and human connection came together in ways … [Read more...]

The Mountain Province

January 15, 2026 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning fog held on to the mountainsides like a silk veil as our vehicle navigated the winding roads of the Cordillera Central range. I had arrived in Mountain Province, Philippines, just as the first light of dawn broke over the eastern peaks. This remote highland region, nestled in the northern part of Luzon Island, had long been on my list of destinations. As we ascended higher into the mountains, the promise of ancient traditions and … [Read more...]

11 Safety Tips for Solo Female Travelers in Korea

January 10, 2026 by Minjung SeoLeave a Comment

Korean Girl Explains_Seoul at night

Is Korea safe for a solo female traveler? For the most part, yes! Korea is a generally a great destination for female travelers, until you want some authentic Korean food or KBBQ. Some restaurants might not accommodate solo diners. But it's not because of your nationality. Their minimum order usually starts at a two-person portion, so they would refuse to serve me as well. Back to safety, it's always better to be safe than … [Read more...]

The Insider’s Itinerary: How to Find the Real Hunter Valley (Beyond the Big Names)

January 5, 2026 by David HenryLeave a Comment

The Hunter Valley is a bit of a legend in Australia. As our oldest wine region, it carries a certain weight. But for a first-time visitor, it can be... overwhelming. On my first trip years ago, I made the classic mistake: I bounced between the three giant, famous wineries you see on every billboard, tasted the same two styles of wine, and left feeling like I’d missed something. I had. The real soul of the Hunter isn't on the main road. It's … [Read more...]

The Swimming Hole

January 1, 2026 by Dave4 Comments

Every day around 5pm I jump on the old Honda Click scooter with the hello kitty decoration on the rubber floor boards and ride 5 mins to the only sizable watering hole in the area. This is both mental therapy, a refreshing respite from the heat and simultaneous physical therapy. Life revolves around this water, in a part of the country where during the dry season its hard to find much here. The pool is a small dam, a place where you would … [Read more...]
