September 13, 2016 by Habeeb Salloum1 Comment

By Habeeb Salloum and Muna Salloum ----------- We were excited and so were our stomachs as we headed out for a three-day tour of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia’s paradise isle. Leaving our immaculate 4-star hotel, Sydney’s Hampton Inn, we made our way through Cape Breton’s green coastline to Indian Brooks. The scene before us was breathtaking. We continued and a few kilometers later, reached the panoramic Lookout of St. Ann’s with seven more … [Read more...]

Australia, My Whirlwind Tour, West to East

December 22, 2015 by Megan Smith1 Comment

Australia is such a large country, making the decision to visit a very important and exciting one. It is key that you narrow down the exact places/cities that you want to visit in order to plan your best course of travel. When I travelled Australia back in 2012, I stuck primarily to several stops - hopping off in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide over an 8 week period. Here are my top things to do in each city. Perth: As the capital of … [Read more...]

Smell the Eucalyptus Trees

August 8, 2015 by Marie Nieves2 Comments

The Blue Mountains National Park is on the UNESCO Heritage List today and it attracts a large number of visitors to Sydney and New South Wales every year. It is simply refreshing to visit this delightful spot after spendingsome time in a large city of Sydney. Many would say ‘a true impression of Australia’ is what one gets after the Blue Mountains. But why are they called Blue? The answer is that eucalyptus oil evaporating releases the substance … [Read more...]

The Blue Mountains extend for over 400km in length and up to 70km in width. From Sydney public transportation takes about 2 hours to Katoomba (the main jumping off point for day and overnight visitors). Catch the train from Central Station - trains usually leave every hour or less. A visit here can easily be done in a day trip from Sydney (especially if you get an early start, 8-9am). Katoomba is about 100 km west of Sydney. Katoomba is a … [Read more...]

Sydney Opera House, Australia – April 2015

Exploring Tel Aviv, Israel

February 6, 2015 by Dave5 Comments

After a packed 10 days in Qatar and Bahrain I flew over to Israel to meet my brother who was flying in from Italy where he lives. I was initially concerned about coming from Arabic countries straight away to Israel and also receiving an Israeli stamp. In actuality Israel no longer seems to stamp passports, rather they give you a printed ID card which they check when you leave the country. After 10 minutes of solid grilling with random questions, … [Read more...]

Highways Agency Issue Wind Warnings

October 1, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

In Britain we are used to being hit with all multitude of bad weathers even when you are least expecting it. The day can often start at icy winter temperatures and then turn into a heat wave by 3pm. It was only a few weeks ago we were worried about the dangers of flooding and, of course, the looming threat of snow and now we are being teased with summer with brighter and warmers days. However, one special danger that presents itself specifically … [Read more...]
