City Guide: How to spend time in Cape Town

November 6, 2016 by Ninette Min1 Comment

Attractions in Cape Town.

The city of Cape Town, also known as the Mother City, is located on the southern-most part of the African continent. It’s one of South Africa’s most popular holiday destinations because of its pristine blue flag beaches, iconic mountains, beautiful fynbos landscape and diverse culture. Cape Town, more specifically Cape Point, is the site where the two oceans meet – the cool Atlantic and the warm Pacific. Besides the Mother City’s 360 degree … [Read more...]

The British Virgin Islands, a short Ferry Ride Away

November 3, 2016 by Dave2 Comments

I hopped on the ferry this morning from Charlotte Amalie in the US Virgin Islands and in an hour I was going through customs at Road Town in the British Virgin Islands on the lovely mountainous island of Tortola. Spotting a huge Celebrity Cruise ship at dock I thought Road Town would be overwhelmed with passengers but this was not the case. Road Town is the largest town on the entire island - the total population of Tortola is only about 24,000 … [Read more...]

The Delightful Mai Samui

November 2, 2016 by Anthony Jury3 Comments

The calmness of the sea and the towering palm trees full of coconuts alerts you to a paradise awaiting inside the Mai Samui Beach Resort and Spa. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a smile and an ice-cold drink. But you are distracted by what’s around you. The rooms tower above and border the swimming pools below. Your eyes are spoiled at the sight and you know from the beginning that your stay at Mai Samui will be a vacation that you’ll never … [Read more...]

Stingray City – November 2016

November 1, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

Stingray City is one of the Cayman Island's most visited natural attractions and is certainly a very memorable highlight of a visit to the Grand Cayman. In 1951 Capt. Marvin Ebanks borrowed a sailboat and started making all day trips out to this part of the reef - taking tourists to visit the stingrays. He pioneered these trips (today a number of outfitters offers trips to Stingray City. While the Captain passed on at the ripe old age of 98 in … [Read more...]

Backpacking in Venezuela

October 31, 2016 by Stingy Nomads2 Comments

Waterfall in Jasper Canyon - Gran Sabana, Venezuela,

Venezuela must be one of the most unique countries I have ever been to. Since so few people travel here, most of what we heard, from its beauty to its dangerous reputation is a combination of myth and mystery. It is a country that has never been on my travel radar; Alya however has been talking about visiting the amazing Mount Roraima for a while. THE REPUTATION When we started to investigate we heard so much nonsense, it seemed like … [Read more...]

Northern Galicia Coast: Rinlo and Cathedral Beach

October 29, 2016 by Brooke Heron1 Comment

I ended up visiting Cathedral Beach in Galicia by chance. My boyfriend and I had planned a weekend in Galicia (we're currently living in Madrid short-term for his job, but he's from Galicia) and we decided to simply look for a casa rural (a rurally located Spanish B&B) that was a good price, and that was in a good location. Where, didn't matter all that much. I had wanted to explore Galicia long before I met my boyfriend so when we met, … [Read more...]

Welcome to Bali – Tropical Paradise or Living Hell?

October 27, 2016 by Kim Morris1 Comment

What comes to mind when you think of Bali? Vacation? Beach? Beauty? Something else? For me, this Indonesian island has always been a bittersweet kind of place. "YOU DON'T ALWAYS NEED A PLAN. SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO BREATHE. TRUST. LET GO. AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS." -MANDY HALE It is a beautiful place - the people as much as the land itself. But, it's also where a number of Australians (my local breed) go on holidays due to its proximity and … [Read more...]
