Tai Chi in China

July 22, 2018 by Marlena FiolLeave a Comment

Our dear tai chi master, Dr. Paul Lam, and his partner Hazel invited us to join them as part of a small group on a two-week tai chi workshop/tour of China. Dr. Lam said he designed the trip to be “fun and serious, leisurely and exciting, like the yin and yang of tai chi.” This design of contrasts generated a trip of remarkable paradoxes: Absolutely clean wide modern streets and filthy holes-in-the-ground bathrooms. Great Wall preserved … [Read more...]

Dizzying heights and Robot Wars in Dazzling Tokyo

April 7, 2018 by Ciara Kennedy1 Comment

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Japan has always held a certain mystic for us in the western world. While it might be often be highly romaticised compared to the reality, Japan still holds many surprises, and you'll probably be surprised in ways you never expected. It cost the guts of €1200 for flights with BA  as we flew in high season around April/May it was totally worth it. From the moment I stepped foot in Narita airport in Tokyo, I fell in love with Japan and its … [Read more...]

The Moroccan Sahara. A Sunset Camel Ride in Erg Chebbi.

January 14, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

It has been a long day, yet one that has been extremely enjoyable. Two days in a car would not have been a preferred choice after my disastrous week of cycling in the Atlas Mountains but Mousa, my guide, has made the right calls with stops for both the sights on the way and for breaks, as well as sensing when to chat and when to leave me to doze. The further we drive - the further into the desert we go - the better the scenery. We are roughly … [Read more...]

Smithsonian Journey – An Illustrated History of Travel

January 1, 2018 by Dave2 Comments

This epic travel tome captures thousands of years of human travel. Set in chronological order, one doesn't necessarily need to start in the beginning.

Names such as Christopher Columbus, Magellan, Amelia Earhart, Roald Amundsen and many others leap from the pages - great explorers in their own rights. Accompanying every great explorer comes some sort of transportation - ships, trains, planes, … [Read more...]

Truly a Special Place, Chamonix in the French Alps

November 23, 2017 by Dave1 Comment

I have been fortunate to have visited France a number of times - but by far the trip that has stood out in my mind over the years was a trip to Chamonix in the summer with my brother as part of a longer trip backpacking through parts of Europe. Traveling on train from near Geneva to Chamonix is anywhere from 2 to 4 hours - we felt good because we had a Eurorail pass which covered most train travel within Europe for 30 days. But at the time we … [Read more...]

Looking at Visiting Toronto for the First Time

September 5, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Remarkably I have not yet visited one of the largest cities in North America, Toronto and the largest city in Canada. One of our earliest contributors to this site Habeeb Salloum lives in Toronto and has invited me in the past to visit this diverse city. In looking at airfare for great deals on flights to Toronto I began researching the prices from Los Angeles (LAX) to to Toronto (YTO). Remarkably flights are priced under $300. And round trip … [Read more...]

Five Reasons to Visit Amsterdam with the I Amsterdam City Card

April 7, 2017 by Jaime ScilingoLeave a Comment

I Amsterdam City Card

Last November, I took a leap of faith and booked my first solo trip abroad. I headed to the Netherlands.  Having never traveled alone before, I needed to be safe, smart, and strict about my spending.  I enjoy comfort and privacy, so costs add up quickly with both an international hotel and a flight. Through my research, there appeared to be five reasons why the I Amsterdam City Card was the best option.  It allowed me to be smart about my … [Read more...]

Xi’an Belongs to the World

December 18, 2016 by Abdul Rastagar6 Comments

Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world,” said former Chinese president Hu Jintao. If Chinese culture does indeed belong to the world, then, without a doubt, the place to explore it is Xi’An. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’re probably not alone. Oddly, one of China’s most interesting and unique cities is not particularly well known to the outside world, especially considering its historical … [Read more...]
