Taipei in a Flash: A Whirlwind Adventure Worth Remembering

December 1, 2025 by Dave1 Comment

A quick journey to Taipei was not meant to be. Rather than get up with the chickens at 430am in the Thai village I am staying in to catch a van to Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch an 11am flight, I opted to take a a van into Bangkok a day early at a reasonable 3pm departure. I didn't catch much sleep that night due to three women next door partying like it was December 31, 1999. The day of my flight, I left my hotel at 8am for the airport. The … [Read more...]

November 6, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

St Moritz, Courchevel, Chamonix, Jackson Hole… there’s a whole multitude of places to head to if you’re looking for a winter break spent on the slopes. If I had to pick just one destination, though, it would be British Columbia every time. Specifically, the mountain resort town of Whistler.

Ekas, Lombok: Life in the Slow Lane

October 25, 2025 by JessieLeave a Comment

There are places in the world that demand nothing of you but your presence. No sightseeing checklists. No need to rush. Just space to slow down, breathe deeply, and let life roll by at the pace of a coconut drifting on the tide. 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...]

What Makes Heritage Tourism in Uganda Unique

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Heritage tourism is an un-sounding topic in Uganda’s tourism sector as it is concealed in the dark. Nobody says anything about but it could also be an amazing venture for income generation especially for the government, Uganda safari companies and other service providers. Famous for her beauties such as wildlife and amazing landscapes, the Pearl od Africa is full of extra ordinary people, with different lifestyles, customs and backgrounds. It … [Read more...]

Abra: The Hidden Charms of Highland Culture

October 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning air carried the scent of pine as our jeepney navigated the winding roads of Cordillera. My destination, Abra Province, remained largely unknown to international travelers—a hidden gem in Northern Luzon, Philippines. As we climbed higher into the mountains, leaving behind the tourist-filled streets of Baguio City, I found myself wondering what secrets this remote province might hold. Abra sits nestled between mountains and rivers, … [Read more...]
