ACRE, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California – May 2021

May 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

This 25 acre palm studded oasis founded by two Canadians sits on the edge of the Sierra de la Laguna foothills, a short drive from the center of San Jose del Cabo. Depending on the route one may pass through over narrow dirt roads - past primitive looking pens holding cows - a complete contrast in comparison to the well-kept and orderly grounds of the resort. ACRE (pronounced, ahh-cray) is known for its quiet setting among the naturally … [Read more...]

This is one way to travel: My trip to Koh Jum, Thailand!

March 1, 2021 by Dave6 Comments

I was having sangria drinks at Bar 1881, tucked away in one of the corners of the Artbox night market in Bangkok with Ric, founder of Global Gaz and Ian, founder of Travel Massive and another traveler who I had corresponded with multiple times but did not know his name until we actually met - when I decided to leave for a minute and find some food. I stopped to order some Larb Gai at one of the stalls when a lady approached me and instructed me … [Read more...]

My Visit to Singapore

January 29, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first visit to Singapore was about 10 years ago - it was just a weekend stop therefore despite being such a small country, I did not have time to fully explore the country. Although I did get out out of the city and visit the world renowned Singapore Zoo. This time (in early 2019) I stayed in the city. Singapore is known for its wide range of 5 star hotels. One of the most iconic and visually attractive due to its unique architecture and … [Read more...]

January 27, 2021 by Dream Big, Travel FarLeave a Comment

waterfall on The Isle Of Skye

In the summer months of 2020, we decided to embark on a crazy adventure. But rather than being thousands of miles around the world, this one took place on a friend’s front lawn … we decided to convert our own campervan! In recent years we have been lucky enough to backpack and road trip more than 40 countries all around the world, so adjusting to life in one place had been tough. VERY tough! So we decided we may as well make use of … [Read more...]

Five Gorgeous European Destinations to Visit

November 29, 2020 by Faisal ButtLeave a Comment

Tourists are searching for places away from the crowded cities. We are longing for nature, large open spaces, and, more importantly, freedom. Itineraries have changed for international travelers, and cities hardly end up on travel lists. Globe trotters are preferring places with pinewood forests and large tracts of farmland over the glitz and glamour of city life. Europe has a lot more to offer than malls or Victorian architecture. You can … [Read more...]

A Beach Paradise in less than 10 Minutes from the Mainland – Kapas Island

November 20, 2020 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

Less than 4 nautical miles from the shore of Marang – a sleepy fishing town on the east coast of peninsula Malaysia, lies a beautiful marine park island surrounded by stunning turquoise waters and pristine sandy beaches. The sand is powdery soft and the texture is very much cotton-like; this is how the name of this island came about – Kapas, a Malay word for cotton.

The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas – November 2020

After you arrive at the airport and pick up your obligatory samples of free rum near the baggage claim jump into a waiting car (provided by the resort) or pickup your pre arranged rental car. The Ritz Carlton is located about as far from the airport as one can drive on the island which refreshingly is only about 25 minutes away.
