10 Days of Greece Holidays – 1Girl, 1Guy, 1Crazy Adventure

September 11, 2018 by Savvy Fernweh2 Comments

Recently I visited Greece for a 10 day holiday. Before planning our travels, I had some questions: - What are the best islands to visit in Greece? - Where to stay? - What to do? We had only 10 days and wanted this to be a dream trip. So we carefully chose to visit Santorini island, Mykonos island and Vikos Gorge in Zagoria. Although we had multiple flights through Athens, we did not really explore the city. Here are our favorite places … [Read more...]

💩 Happens When You Travel

February 10, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar6 Comments

I didn’t think much of it at first. His face was somewhat pale and the ever-present smile had been replaced by a slightly anguished expression. He mentioned he was cold but how could this be? We were in the middle of the hot and humid Cambodian jungle. Maybe it was just exhaustion from a long day of exploring Angkor Wat? I figured if we just rested a while, we’d be OK. Then 💩 happened. Literally. The next few hours were spent assisting him back … [Read more...]

My first experience of a Turkish Hamam

December 21, 2017 by Teh Chin Liang1 Comment

There are many Turkish bathhouses (Hamams) in Istanbul. The famous ones being ÇemberlitaÅŸ, Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamam, CaÄŸaloÄŸlu etc where you fork out a fortune (more than 100 liras) to enjoy the finest bathing experience in a lavish and elegant environment. Being a frugal traveler (or cheapskate as sometimes the meaning of frugal connotes), those bathhouses with world-class facilities surely are places I would not be able to … [Read more...]

All-in Tickets from KLM Airlines

December 9, 2017 by Dave10 Comments

I have flown my share of budget airlines (mostly in Europe as they are often reasonably priced and quick way around the continent) but you always get what you pay for: a basic seat, very limited carry-on luggage allowances and generally no food or drink. Often the flights are to secondary airports that aren't always central to your final destination. While these in continent flights are typically only a few hours at most, there are certainly also … [Read more...]

Istanbul Travel Tips even for the Experienced Traveler

May 11, 2017 by Mary Lyons2 Comments

, I sometimes go there just to roam the streets, take pictures, eat the traditional food and talk to the locals. It is possibly my favorite city of all that I have visited. I really could have benefitted from some Istanbul travel tips before I went the first time. I learned to do my research. The first time I went to Istanbul I felt an energy as soon as I left the airport. I believe a city is a living, breathing, ever changing organism. … [Read more...]

By Private Jet to Helsinki

July 22, 2016 by Tom KennedyLeave a Comment

An important lesson about travel insurance. For some of my overseas trips, I have taken out medevac insurance; if ever this coverage was necessary, it was during my recent trip to Uzbekistan. After waiting for the landing of Uzbekistan Airways A300 flight from Bangkok, the twin engine private Cessna Citation CJ2+ jet accelerated smartly down runway 8 Left of Tashkent Airport. After quickly becoming airborne, we made a sharp right turn, then … [Read more...]
