I’ve never been big on New Year’s Resolutions. Big, grand gestures that are usually completely abandoned by mid-February. Sure we’d all like to lose weight, exercise more and stop biting our nails but ain’t gonna happen b/c of some magic decree. Still, I can kind of see the point of using the start of the [...]

Today’s pretty photo was submitted by Nian of Goodnight and Go: I took this picture from the bus on my way from Berlin to Vienna. It was early in the morning so I believe it must be somewhere near Berlin. I have seen more sunrises before, but this was the most beautiful, the perfect circle [...]

Well, it’s the end of the year again. It’s been a pretty crazy year for me (maybe for you too?) and looking back I can hardly believe everything I got up to in the past 12 months.  I celebrated last New Year’s in Bangkok, drinking buckets and dancing on Koh San Road. The first three [...]

Well it was bound to happen eventually. While I love a good thrill, I haven’t done nearly enough adventure activities on my travels. This is mostly because they usually cost quite a bit of money. To bungee jump in Australia for example, will run you $120+. For a traveler on a budget that kind of [...]

Quito is a pretty city. Like really, really pretty:   It’s over 500 years old, built by conquistadors on the site of an old Inca City. The huge old town is full of elegant buildings and elaborate churches built by different orders of missionaries. It was the very first city to be designated an UNESCO [...]

Today’s submission is by Katherine McKeon of Beyond Disney Travel Tips: It’s business as usual for a neighborhood restaurant in Granada, Nicaragua.  A regular customer stops to chat with the manager while a man spends a quiet morning reading in his unique version of a hammock.
