Things to Do in Belém in One Day: What to See and in What Order

November 3, 2026 by Anatoly RobertsLeave a Comment

Belém is where Lisbon keeps its most famous postcards. The Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries all stand within walking distance of each other on the bank of the Tagus, a short ride west of downtown, with Portugal's best-known custard tart bakery in between. That closeness is also the trap. Most visitors do the same loop at the same hour, and by late morning the lines spill down the street. The answer is order, … [Read more...]

Monaco in a Heartbeat – What to See and Where to Play

October 30, 2026 by Peter RobertsLeave a Comment

Monaco is small, flashy and absolutely packed with things to see. One minute you're looking at supercars worth more than a house, the next you're wandering through old streets or gazing at yachts that look bigger than your local supermarket. And there's a casino or two if you fancy a bit of gaming along the way. The good news? You don't need a massive budget to enjoy yourself. Plenty of Monaco's best sights are free, so you can soak up the … [Read more...]

A Full Day in Mijas Pueblo (And I Still Didn’t See Everything)

October 25, 2026 by Heidi Spain on Foot1 Comment

Four years living twenty minutes from Málaga, and Mijas Pueblo was the trip I kept bumping to next month. Everyone who'd been gave me the same rundown of white walls, donkeys, and a coach park. I figured I already had the picture, so why rush it. I finally drove up a few weeks ago thinking I'd give it two hours before lunch back on the coast. I left at 5pm with a list of things I still hadn't got inside. The lift that drops you into the … [Read more...]

Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra Review: Ten Fossil-Hunting Trips in an Inflatable Kayak

October 21, 2026 by Morne MamlamboLeave a Comment

By Morne Mamlambo, Mamlambo Fossils My first trip in the Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra is the one you can watch in my video Fossil kayak adventure pays off. I drifted down the river toward the river mouth, past people fishing for salmon, with limestone and sandstone cliffs and the odd cave along the way. It was about 86°F (30°C), which is hot for New Zealand, and so peaceful on the water that it felt like the best way to fossil hunt. Drifting … [Read more...]

Is Helsinki Expensive? A Practical Budget for First-Time Visitors

October 20, 2026 by Kadir TUNCEL1 Comment

Helsinki is not a cheap European city, but its reputation for being extremely expensive can be misleading. For travelers used to major cities in Western or Northern Europe, many everyday prices will feel fairly familiar, while accommodation, restaurant meals, drinks and several paid attractions can push the total higher. I would focus less on finding the cheapest possible options and more on knowing which expenses are worth paying for and … [Read more...]

A Week on a Mississippi Riverboat: Full Trip Report

October 10, 2026 by Alex CarterLeave a Comment

There is something special about traveling along a river. Unlike a road trip, where the scenery changes with every turn, a river journey unfolds at a gentler pace. Towns, forests, farmland, and historic waterfronts gradually appear along the banks, offering a different perspective on the American landscape. A week aboard a Mississippi Riverboat offers the opportunity to experience this slower style of travel while exploring one of the … [Read more...]
