April 20, 2020 by Peter Banks4 Comments

Gramado and Canela were two cities that I didn’t have much interest in visiting. I’d stayed in Gramado toward the end of 2018 with my family.

Brazilian Cachaça Trip–Rio Grande do Sul, Day One (cont.): Nova Petropolis

Unfortunately, I couldn’t much turn my head to get a clear glimpse at most of these places, because if I had, I probably would have either gotten rear-ended, or run off the road. It … [Read more...]

February 29, 2020 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

If you’ve never been to Belfast, Northern Ireland, you are in for a treat.

Belfast is chock full of fun activities for both adults and kids alike, and the city is a genuine treat to explore. I hope to infuse my travel bug and world curiosity into … [Read more...]

Winter in Windsor

December 25, 2019 by Samantha Priestley2 Comments

We recently took a short wintry getaway in Windsor, home of the stunning 11th century Windsor Castle and famous for all things royal. But as we passed the large looming castle and the imposing statue of Queen Victoria, we decided to do Windsor differently. The fact is most tourists do visit for the castle, but if you’ve already taken a tour inside its fortress walls, it’s a bit beyond your budget, or the queues are just too much for you, … [Read more...]
