I know we are all fans of independent travel around here, but there are times when nothing but a tour will cut it. Today’s guest post describes an adventurous, budget, African safari. “This is not a holiday, it’s an adventure,” Michel, our Mozambican guide, informed us. Excited and a little nervous, we settled into our [...]

I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather.

They are: The “Life’s too Short” People- There are so many interesting things in the world to see that [...]

Ljubljana is completely unreal. As in, it literally does not seem like a real place. It’s too clean, too pastel and too nice- kind of like if Disney decided to build a European capital and give it a whimsical unpronounceable name. Except that unlike Disney, there’s actual character lying behind the sparkling façade. Even the [...]

Last week I told you about my dismal time spending New Year’s in Time Square, and asked you what your most disappointing travel experiences are. I got a slew of answers! Some were passionate, some unsure and some completely contradicted each other. Bottom line: you guys have a lot of complaints! Some of your complaints [...]
