Kyrenia, Cyprus
One of the first things I would recommend to anyone when going to Cyprus is to try any local cuisine, it may look disgusting but I promise you its some of the best food I’ve had.
I stayed in a village just outside of Kyrenia called Ozankoy, just south of …
Bellingraph Gardens
I have been to Bellingraph Gardens some four times over a period of 40 years and have never been disappointed when I go there. These gardens of some 65 acres are filled with every type of beautiful plantings you can think of. Open year round, and being in the …
Arc de Triomphe-Paris
When I was in Paris, we timed our visit to the city’s symbolic and famous Arc de Triomphe so that we could walk along the Champs-Elysees and end up at the Arc, which is located at the very end of the huge street. We had also read that there …
Falkenberg Sweden Travel
Falkenberg is a charming little seaside town on the south-west coast of Sweden. Tranquil and quiet all year round - except during July and August when the tourists arrive - it has one of the cleanest and longest sandy beaches I have ever seen. Because of this, it is …
Tree Top Adventure in Subic, Philippines
If you’re on your way to Subic, then I suggest you head also to Tree Top Adventure. I was just there yesterday and boy did I have a great time. Tree Top Adventure lets you experience how to have fun by the tree tops.
They have all sorts of adventures …
Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand
After going to the Grand Palace, this is the second temple that we’ve visited. Since our trip is a “Do Your Own” trip, we’re always carrying our maps with us. To get here, you can either hire a taxi or a tuktuk (tricycle). Since it’s near at the palace, …
Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure is perhaps the second greatest theme park (at least in my opinion), right behind Universal Studios Orlando. Six Flags Great Adventure consists of three parks total: Six Flags Wild Safari which is basically a zoo without barriers, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor which is their own …
Manischewitz Matzo Balls
If you have never tried Matzo Ball Soup, and you are a big chicken noodle soup fan, then you really should treat yourself to this wonderful meal. I do not know of any restaurants who serve this in Hawaii, but it is big in Los Angeles. I …
Williamsberg VA
If you are considering taking a good old fashioned family vacation, why not consider heading to Virginia and checking out Williamsberg? Williamsberg is under a five hour drive from most locations in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey and hosts not only a great home to some of …
Mass Transportation System in Calgary, Canada
The showpiece of Calgary’s mass transportation system is the CTrain, which covers nearly 45 kilometers of track, spanning 37 different stations. The downtown core of the CTrain is free so if you live in the downtown area, you don’t have to pay anything to take the train.
For most people, …
ReefHQ Aquarium Townsville Queensland Australia
Last 16 October 2007, my sister and I went to ReefHQ Aquarium in Townsville Queensland Australia. My Aussie friend told us that we shouldn’t miss the great aquatic scenes there. The fee is supposed to be $21.50 each which I think was not-so-affordable but then I still decided to …
Camayan Beach Resort, Subic Bay, Zambales, Philippines
Camayan Beach is one of the best beaches for snorkeling and nightlife in the Subic Bay area. Getting there from Manila takes around 3hours. This used to be underdeveloped, but surprisingly come 2009 when we visited the beach, this became a great place to stay!
Our family booked one of …
Motoring in Northern France
As someone who has driven around England quite a bit I feel well qualified to comment that driving around France is so much more appealing. Of course France has it made with the advantages of size and population but this is not all that makes driving there more preferable.
We bought …
Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Sarasota, FL
The last time that my husband and I took a mini-vacation to Siesta Key on the West Coast of Florida, we decided to stop on the way home at Sarasota Jungle Gardens since we had never been before.
Sarasota Jungle Gardens is one of Florida’s oldest attractions. It’s been around …
Lake Erie OH
Lake Erie is one of the great lakes in America. It is located on the northern side of Ohio. When I studied Ohio history we learned that Lake Erie borders the country of Canada, and the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan which are part …
Sydney Aquarium, Australia
The location of Sydney Aquarium is in Darling Harbour about seven minutes westward on foot from Town Hall railway station and around 10 minutes from Sydney Tower. The admission fee is 35 Australian dollars (38.50 US dollars) per person, but only 55 dollars if you purchase tickets for both …
Hollywood Wax Museum
During our recent trip to LA, we spent a day and a half in Hollywood, and the Wax museum was one of the many attractions we visited. Having been spoiled by Madam Tussaud’s Wax museum in London and in Las Vegas, we certainly had a high standard of expectations …
Romania
I live in Romania and all that I can tell you is that Romania is not such a bad country full of gypsys as the people from the TV say.It has good parts and bad part like any other country in the world.The first thing you need to know …
Hauaki Hostel, Quiot, Ecuador
Hauaku hostel in Quito, Ecuador is unique in the fact that is it not only a covenant place to stay when visiting Quito, but it also has some of the best sushi in the tourist district of Quito.
Located in the heart of the Mariscal, or tourist district, the hostels …
Daranak Falls
Undeveloped, tainted by abusive tourists and dirty. Those were the exact words I used to describe Daranak Falls to a friend who was interested to see it. I told her not to waste her time visiting this place. Even the name now sounds disgusting to me. The water used …
Assateague Island Maryland
During my nine trips to Ocean City, Maryland, one of the highlights of the trip was always driving out to Assateague Island. This quiet, peaceful, wildlife-abundant ocean paradise is a completely different world from the hotels, tourist shops, and hustle and bustle of Ocean City. Assateague is famous for …
Fox Hill Campground
There are several campgrounds in this area and this is one of our favorites. The campground is a bit busy during mid season, but I could not disagree more. The quiet atmosphere they write about must be when everyone is sleeping. If you want lots of …
Newport Rhode Island
We first visited Newport on a whim; we wanted to go on a family vacation, but we were tired of simply going “down to the shore”. After a while, as my sister and I grew older it became dull with not much to do should one of us …
Waves Indoor Water Park in Niagara Falls
My whole family went to Niagara Falls for one overnight trip during this past Christmas. We didn’t plan much ahead on what to do other than watching the yearly light show. It just happened that we stayed in a hotel that was very close to Waves Indoor Water …
Wet ‘n’ Wild, Orlando, FL
I’m always up for a Water Park with my family. I’ve been to a good deal of them all over the Country. One that I’ve been to repeatedly is right here in Central Florida. I’m talking about “Wet ‘n’ Wild” in Orlando.
Wet ‘n’ Wild is a good place …
Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth is a little coastal town in East Anglia which claims the title of “one of England’s most popular sea-resorts”. I have had a misfortunate experience of putting this description to the test. I can’t say I’m satisfied with the results.
First of all I’d like to begin with …
Pretoria Zoological Gardens
My first visit to this zoo was not one that I have vivid memories of as I was very young at the time. Although my memory is relatively good, when I went there for the second time recently, it was not my first choice of an afternoon out initially, …
Public transport in Yangon, Myanmar
Mainly there are three kinds of public transport in Yangon. They are city bus, taxi, and city train. Buses go to almost every corner in Yangon, and the fare is also very cheap. You can go within Yangon just for 200 or 300 kyat (around 20 cents). It is obviously …

Vishakapatnam is a city in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. There are a good number of interesting places to visit over here. This place is hot over the year. However, October to January is not so hot and these are the months during which one can pay a …
Savannas Preserve State Park, Florida
Visiting State or Federal parks are always a perk for me because I can share that experience with my son who loves to be outdoors and exploring. When we travel to the mountains, he can fly up and down the trails before I can even start. One of the …
Eden Nature Park in Davao City
It is always a treat when i get a chance to go home to my hometown, Davao City.I do not only get to see my family, but i also get to enjoy the sites and hotspots that Davao has to offer.One place that we often visit is The Eden …
Fresno, CA
Fresno, CA hasn’t always gotten the best rep considering that this city seems to give us some pretty bad stories from time to time. And I honestly don’t know if it’s the safest place in the whole world but whatever it all works out in the end right. I …
Sunterra Resorts/ Getaways
Anyone who may be interested in traveling to California, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, or Maryland may want to check out www.sunterragetaways.com. Sunterra resorts are actually quite nice places to stay. My husband and I most recently stayed at the one in Sedona, Arizona and we were fairly impressed not …
City of Tainan, Taiwan
Taiwan is not a very big country, so I planned to visit her four largest towns within 10 days from south to north, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei. Tainan is located some 30 minutes by local train from Kaohsiung, therefore I did not book any hotel but did a one-day …
Osceola Flea and Farmer’s Market
Whenever we venture over to Kissimmee or Orlando of a weekend, we try to make a point of visiting the Osceola Flea and Farmer’s Market on Rt. 192 near St. Cloud and Kissimmee. It’s not what you’d typically think of when going to a country flea market. It’s …
Ubud Monkey Forest, Bali
I have always been a huge fan of monkeys. So every time I visit Bali or any other places where there are monkeys around, I will spare my time to visit those places. And this time I’d like to share my experience visiting Ubud Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali.

Bronx NY
If you have never been to NY then you are really missing out, I suggest that this be one of the places that you go before you die and if you are ever in New York you will find that Bronx, NY is one of the best places to …
Megabus Bus Service
I live in New York City, which means that having a car is pretty much unnecessary and a big hassle than I care to deal with at this point in my life. Usually I give cars little to no thought, however every once in a while there is …
The City of San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is really the underdog to other Texas cities like Houston, and Dallas. Although Houston and Dallas are much larger, San Antonio, still has as much to offer. The city is located kind of in the middle of texas, and is famous for the battle of the Alamo. …
Mt. Shasta CA
My brother and I had the pleasure of going to Mt. Shasta several months ago for four days. It is located about 40 miles south of the California-Oregon border, so we decided to drive down and experience the beautiful scenery. It took us just over 10 hours from where …
Cittiglio Italy
Cittiglio is a typical little town in the province of Varese. The ‘milestone’ in this little town is the hospital. It is the first and only hospital before Varese. The hospital itself is impeccable and the ambulance drivers are just as kind. The only problem I had was some …
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is one of the most amazing places that I have ever been, and I honestly don’t even really know how to explain what I was witness to when I was there. I think if you go there you will never bear witness to almost …
Arab Street Singapore
Arab Street is located in a tiny street of Singapore and is actually near to the Bugis MRT. MRT stands for Mass Rapid Transit and is actually a means of transportation which is the subway. The place is very nice and full of things Arab. It …
Desert Botanical Gardens Phoenix
Desert Botanical Gardens is an interesting place to visit in Phoenix, Arizona. Located at 1201 N. Galvin Parkway, just one mile north of the Phoenix Zoo, it is easy enough to find. The winter of 2007/2008 was very wet. Many people told me it was time …
Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells
My family has stayed at the Chula Vista Resort four times. It is such a nice place, and in my family’s opinion, the best Wisconsin Dells has to offer. Recently they opened a brand new indoor waterpark, which is fabulous if you’re planning a trip in the winter. The …
Hong Kong Airport
I have been through Hong Kong International Airport so many times that I thought it is about time that I wrote a review.
The new Hong Kong airport was built on a man-made island off shore from the island of Lantau during the 1990’s, opening in 1998. The terminal building …
ASIN Hot Springs
Virtually unknown to many tourists, Baguio has hot springs. Real sulfuric hot springs actually. It was my eldest brother who discovered the place in one of his ‘around-baguio-jeepney-ride’. There’s a jeepney (cheapest and most popular public transportation in the Philippines) terminal in Session Road going to Asin, so this …
Circle Island Resort and Hotel in Cavite, Philippines
Just two weeks ago I was in Circle Island Resort and Hotel in Cavite, Philippines and I must say that I really didn’t expect it to be really a quaint place that will make me really cozy. I had so much fun here with my boyfriend’s family and I …

One of the most beautiful and inspiring tourist attractions in Dartmouth is the Peace Pavilion along the Dartmouth waterfront. Designed in 1989 by a group of high school students this glassed in display hosts rocks, bricks and parts of buildings from around the world.
