Breskens, The Netherlands
Breskens is about 10 kilometers from Nieuwvliet-Bad where I was staying last week for a short holiday. By car, the drive is quite easy to do (about 15 minutes) as it is one of the nearest towns from NVB. For us who we were staying in the Sluis area, …
Mars Alam
Mars Alam wasn’t at all what I expected, The franco rosso hotel was acceptable, it had 3 big pools a marvelous beach but no reef whatsoever. The scuba-diving was a bit sub-par, the colors were a bit more vivid but there wasn’t much too see.
Secondly, if your into ‘the …
Nirwana Beach Club

Shedd Aquarium Chicago IL

Islands of Adventure, Orlando
I have never been much of a roller coaster fan, so when my sister wanted to take me to Islands of Adventure, I just looked at her. I mean, this is my sister. She knows I don’t do roller coasters, so what purpose could I have for going to …

Lost World Of Tambun

Pergamon Museum in Berlin
Located on Museum Island, Pergamon Museum offers the largest, most visually astounding exhibitions on the planet. Seriously, I’m talking HUGE here. Even the museum’s building is monumental, not to mention what’s inside of it. An adult ticket is 10 EUR, which is valid for most of the museums located …
Evesham, England
Evesham is a market town in south eastern Worcestershire in the Midlands of England. It is a place I know quite well, and a town I think is rather unjustly neglected by the tourist guides. This is no doubt because it lies on the northern edge of the Cotswold …

Surfer’s Paradise
As a resident of the Gold Coast it became very apparent to me what the term ‘tourist trap’ actually means from the time that I spent at Surfer’s Paradise.
While I agree that it has beautiful beaches and is one of the more iconic destinations on the Gold Coast …
Malta
Malta is in Europe, and the Capital City would be the Valletta. I have been to Malta before, and I find that it is a great destination for the whole family, most definitely. I have been to one island in Malta called Comino before, and that was …
Ephrata Cloister, Ephrata, Pennsylvania
When I was just starting to cultivate an interest in colonial history, I enjoyed a visit to Ephrata Cloister in Ephrata, PA.

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 …

Hagia Sophia
Looking at the Hagia Sophia from the outside I really didn’t think it was going to be anything spectacular to see on the inside. I mean, the antiquity and architecture of the mosque itself are amazing, but I did not expect the inside to be particularly intricate. The outside …
