Cyril E. King Airport (STT) St. Thomas
I’ve been to Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas several times over the past ten years, and my first experience flying into that airport was actually a little scary. The runway appeared very small compared to the larger airports in the states that I was used to, …

Clifton Suspension Bridge, England
The Clifton Suspension Bridge in (unsurprisingly) the Clifton region of Bristol is an enormous tourist attraction, and although it remains an important road link to the communities and countryside to the west of the city, it is perhaps now visited by more tourists than locals every year. As such, …

Mountainview Nature’s Park in Cebu

Villa H52, Cap Camarine
