Train Ride Through the Tea Mountains

2 September 2010

During a recent trip to Sri Lanka I had the pleasure of taking a three-day train ride through the Tea Mountains. The first leg of the trip was about two hours and went from Ella to Hepatale. A days rest in Hepatale to explore the Tea Plantations, drink the tea and enjoy the peaceful mountain [...]

Your One Stop Post for Accommodation on a Shoe String

19 August 2010

4 Comments

Today’s guest post comes from Anna Cleal, who knows a thing or two about finding a place to sleep that will fit your (minimal) budget. I know I’m at the risk of sounding cliché by using the terms shoe string and travel in the same sentence, BUT hear me out on this one because I [...]

The Great African Road Trip

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’m not a vegetarian but I do love food and I LOVE London. Today’s guest post highlights some fabulous budget finds in this expensive city. Two years ago I studied abroad in what would grow to be my all-time favorite city in the world, London. Seriously… Greatest. City. Ever. While I was crazy excited about [...]

What’s it like to WWOOF?

I like today’s guest post, by Lindsay Nicholls, not only because it is hilarious but because WWOOFing is something I’ve heard about but never had the guts to try. Never heard of it? Read on… As Ned and I washed the goat shit off in a cold mountain stream, I wondered what all the 18-35ers [...]

Friday Postcard: Mount Shasta, California

Today’s guest post come from The Jetpacker: Mount Shasta is only the fifth highest peak in California (at 14,179 feet), but you’d think it was as tall as Everest when you first see its peak rising above the clouds. The snow-covered mountain dominated the landscape for almost an hour during our drive up the I-5 [...]

Don’t Look Back in Anger

I know I am constantly going on about how your twenties are a great time to travel- well here is the flip-side of the coin. Today’s guest post comes from a thirty-something traveler, Scott Hartbeck, who has some regrets to get off his chest. And so travel can wait. But can you really afford to [...]

Missing New Zealand

Today’s guest post comes from Amanda Williams who blogs at A Dangerous Business. It really spoke to me because I know exactly what it’s like to miss a foreign country like it was a living breathing person. I often think of London like it’s a lost love, and I think many of us have somewhere [...]
