February 20, 2026 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning sun cast golden rays across the waters of the Basilan Strait as our ferry approached Zamboanga City's port. Known as Asia's Latin City, this historic settlement on the southwestern tip of Mindanao held the promise of a unique cultural tapestry woven from Spanish, Muslim, and indigenous influences. My journey began at the iconic Paseo del Mar, where the salty breeze carried whispers of the city's maritime heritage. Local families … [Read more...]

February 17, 2026 by Joanne AhernLeave a Comment

Montego Bay is more than just a picturesque spot on Jamaica’s north coast. This vibrant city actually breathes life into your vacation with its endless white-sand beaches, lush hills, and a local culture that's genuinely inviting. It’s the sort of place where you’re as likely to hear reggae rhythms drifting on the breeze as you are to watch the sun dipping behind palm trees. If you crave a mixture of serene days by the sea and bursts of … [Read more...]

48 Hours in Oslo, Norway: The Perfect Weekend Itinerary

February 10, 2026 by Ron ClarkLeave a Comment

Oslo in winter doesn’t try to impress with postcard-blue skies. It seduces with low grey light, the smell of woodsmoke drifting over the fjord, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the city was built for this season, not in spite of it.  Two days is barely enough to scratch the surface, yet it’s perfect for feeling the vibe, and slipping into the rhythm of a place that treats darkness like an old friend. I have escaped to Norway twice, … [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.
