December 12, 2025 by Alex DerdenLeave a Comment

Roads of the future look nothing like what we're used to. Forget regular asphalt and standard markings. Something interesting's happening right now — infrastructure's getting smart, eco-friendly, and responsive to drivers. Decided to rent Lamborghini Dubai and cruise around the city? Perfect, because this is exactly where you can see how technology's reshaping the whole idea of travel. Asphalt That Thinks Sounds weird, right? But modern road … [Read more...]

Taipei in a Flash: A Whirlwind Adventure Worth Remembering

December 1, 2025 by Dave5 Comments

A quick journey to Taipei was not meant to be. Rather than get up with the chickens at 430am in the Thai village I am staying in to catch a van to Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch an 11am flight, I opted to take a a van into Bangkok a day early at a reasonable 3pm departure. I didn't catch much sleep that night due to three women next door partying like it was December 31, 1999. The day of my flight, I left my hotel at 8am for the airport. The … [Read more...]

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.

Exploring Lake Rio Cuarto: The Deepest Lake in Costa Rica

November 5, 2025 by A Couple for the Road1 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...]

Two Days in Vegas: Where Every Hour Counts

October 31, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Las Vegas is one of those cities that has always appealed to me in an intriguing sort of way. It’s not a 'conventional' city by any definition; its wink is seductive, filled with opportunity, excitement and flash - where money is always on full display. The city can be overwhelming, especially for first time visitors. My first trip was in college. Stepping out of the plane into one of the terminals at Harry Reid International Airport, I remember … [Read more...]

Ekas, Lombok: Life in the Slow Lane

October 25, 2025 by JessieLeave a Comment

There are places in the world that demand nothing of you but your presence. No sightseeing checklists. No need to rush. Just space to slow down, breathe deeply, and let life roll by at the pace of a coconut drifting on the tide. Ekas, a tiny surf village tucked away on the east coast of Lombok, Indonesia, is one of those rare places. I stumbled into Ekas after a week in the chaos of Kuta’s surf scene, craving quiet. What I found was a village … [Read more...]
