Chasing Winter Light in Canada

November 6, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

St Moritz, Courchevel, Chamonix, Jackson Hole… there’s a whole multitude of places to head to if you’re looking for a winter break spent on the slopes. If I had to pick just one destination, though, it would be British Columbia every time. Specifically, the mountain resort town of Whistler. This winter paradise is a real gem—think: world-class skiing, wilderness adventures, and slow-evening indulgence. Whether you're heading there for the … [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...]

Kalinga: Reflections of an Ancient Way of Life

October 20, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning mist clung to the steep rice terraces as our jeepney wound its way through the mountain roads of Kalinga province. We had departed Tabuk City, the provincial capital, before dawn, aiming to reach the remote village of Buscalan by midday. The journey was as much a destination as the village itself—every hairpin turn revealed breathtaking vistas of emerald terraces carved into mountainsides, a testament to the agricultural ingenuity … [Read more...]

Visiting Mt. Lassen National Park

October 15, 2025 by Oliver AaquistLeave a Comment

A part of the Cascades range, Mt. Lassen is a dormant volcano outside of Chester, California. While the volcano is considered dormant, it last erupted in 1915 and has many geologically active features, such as mud pots and hot springs. During the winter, this park is nearly inaccessible due to snowfall, but from late spring to early fall, it is a paradise for outdoor explorers and day trippers alike. Much of Mt. Lassen National Park can be … [Read more...]

What Makes Heritage Tourism in Uganda Unique

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Heritage tourism is an un-sounding topic in Uganda’s tourism sector as it is concealed in the dark. Nobody says anything about but it could also be an amazing venture for income generation especially for the government, Uganda safari companies and other service providers. Famous for her beauties such as wildlife and amazing landscapes, the Pearl od Africa is full of extra ordinary people, with different lifestyles, customs and backgrounds. It … [Read more...]

Abra: The Hidden Charms of Highland Culture

October 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning air carried the scent of pine as our jeepney navigated the winding roads of Cordillera. My destination, Abra Province, remained largely unknown to international travelers—a hidden gem in Northern Luzon, Philippines. As we climbed higher into the mountains, leaving behind the tourist-filled streets of Baguio City, I found myself wondering what secrets this remote province might hold. Abra sits nestled between mountains and rivers, … [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...]
