Posted on 18. Jan, 2011 by Guest Poster.

I giggled out loud when I read this post in my inbox. Even if you don’t have first hand experience with booze cruises, or Australian boys, hopefully you can appreciate it as well. Many years ago, when I was but a young lad I was prone to doing very stupid things. One of the stupidest [...]

The Dos and Don’ts of Keeping it Classy in the Gold Coast

Posted on 21. Dec, 2010 by Guest Poster.

The response you might receive when asking about the Gold Coast would generally involve anything except for being classy. Surfers Paradise, schoolies and parties galore have turned the area’s reputation into something a bit more sinful, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (sinful can be fun), but when it turns trashy – that can be [...]

Posted on 10. Oct, 2010 by Guest Poster.

The Cinderella of South America, Paraguay has suffered greatly at the hands of her sisters. She lacks the flamboyance of seductive Brazil or the class of stylish Argentina.

“GOSH, this would not happen at home! That is so wrong! Disgusting, how can they live like that! Why can’t they speak English properly!?” These are exclamations I often hear from travellers who have just touched down in China.

Posted on 12. Sep, 2010 by Guest Poster.
