This picturesque town is a photographers dream, especially during late spring and summer. If the town was only historical buildings (of which there are plenty) it would be a beautiful place - but then throw in the gorgeous array of flowers and blooming trees during this time of year, and if its not too much to ask - warm days with lots of sunshine! For a small town (the core is only about 17,000 people) Ystad packs a punch for tourism. There are … [Read more...]

Two Days in Vegas: Where Every Hour Counts
Las Vegas is one of those cities that has always appealed to me in an intriguing sort of way. It’s not a 'conventional' city by any definition; its wink is seductive, filled with opportunity, excitement and flash - where money is always on full display. The city can be overwhelming, especially for first time visitors. My first trip was in college.

Ekas, Lombok: Life in the Slow Lane
There are places in the world that demand nothing of you but your presence. No sightseeing checklists. No need to rush.

Ekas, a tiny surf village tucked away on the east coast of Lombok, Indonesia, is one of those rare places. I stumbled into Ekas after a week in the chaos of Kuta’s surf scene, craving quiet. What I found was a village … [Read more...]

Abra sits nestled between mountains and rivers, … [Read more...]

How Travelers Can Stay Flexible With Their Budgets
Travel is anything but predictable. Flights run late, attractions shut unexpectedly, exchange rates shift, and unplanned opportunities have a way of popping up. Even the most carefully designed itinerary can change in an instant, and when it does, your budget usually takes the first hit. Nobody wants to spend a trip stressed about expenses, but running out of money too soon can end the adventure early or force tough compromises. The key isn’t … [Read more...]
