Uncharted Waters: The Most Surprising Coastal Destinations You’ve Never Heard Of

February 6, 2026 by Madeline McMallisterLeave a Comment

When people think about coastal travel, the same names come up again and again. Santorini. Bali. The Amalfi Coast. These places are beautiful, no doubt about it. But they are also crowded, expensive, and increasingly predictable. Beyond the glossy postcards and social media hotspots, there is another world of coastlines that remain quiet, surprising, and deeply authentic. According to the World Tourism Organization, over 70% of international … [Read more...]

The island of Phu Quoc is located in the Gulf of Thailand, located closer to the Cambodia border than the Vietnam border. It is an extremely popular and family friendly destination for tourists due to the fact that unlike mainland Vietnam which requires visas for many nationalities, Phu Quoc offers a visa exemption for citizens of numerous countries.

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...]

Olongapo: Where Navy History Meets Filipino Soul

November 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The first thing that strikes you about Olongapo City isn't the visual – it's the energy. As our jeepney rumbles down Magsaysay Drive, the main artery of this bustling port city about 80 kilometers northwest of Manila, the vibrant pulse of street life emerges against a backdrop of mountains and sea. Once home to the largest U.S. naval base outside American soil, Olongapo has transformed itself from a military outpost into a dynamic Filipino city … [Read more...]

Chasing Sunsets in Zambales

November 1, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The minibus wound its way along the National Highway, leaving Manila's concrete jungle behind as the landscape gradually transformed into a tapestry of green fields and distant mountains. I was headed to Zambales, a province on the western coast of Luzon that had long captured my imagination with promises of pristine beaches and hidden coves. After four hours of travel, the familiar salt-tinged breeze of the West Philippine Sea welcomed me to … [Read more...]

America’s national, September and October

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Forget the summer gridlock. The real story of America's national parks is told in September and October, during the "secret season." This is when the crowds disappear, the weather is perfect and the landscapes transform. The post-Labor Day slump is a traveler's dream. With schools back in session, parks like Zion, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are no longer at peak capacity. This means a more intimate and enjoyable experience. The intense … [Read more...]

Fjällbacka, Western Sweden – October 2025

October 1, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

This is one of the more picturesque towns along Western Sweden - located about a 90 minutes drive north of Gothenburg. Colorful buildings line the harbor - and on a clear and warm day this is the perfect spot to enjoy an ice cream or duck into any of a number of specialty shops here.
