Katoomba Scenic World
I have been to Katoomba twice to see the popular Katoomba Scenic World in Australia’s beautiful blue mountains.
This is one of my favorite places to visit, it has spectacular views overlooking (and inside) the Blue Mountains.
It is great taking the world’s steepest train ride down into the valley …
Sohotel, NY Budget NY Accomodation
I absolutely love New York City and if not for the prices, I would probably live there. Granted in all my trips to the Big Apple I’ve been careful when it comes to planning and I often to research for the best deals. I tried the Sohotel because for a …
Liverpool Trip
Last year we traveled through the UK and one of our days we spent in Liverpool. We had a few good reasons to make a stop in this English city. For one, we are huge Beatles fans and so visiting Liverpool was like a pelgrimage for us. Besides the Beatles …
Shepherd of the Hills HIstoric Homestead Tour
The Shepherd of the Hills tour is somthing I had been wanting to do ever since I picked up Harold Bell Wright’s book, The Sheperd of The Hills, on one of our previous visits to Branson, Missouri.
Our tram tour took about and hour and a half, and the tour …
Mount Washngton Cog Railway, Bretton Woods, NH
One of the longest running attractions in the White Mountains is the Mount Washington Cog Railway in Bretton Woods, NH. It’s been there as far back as I can remember and I’ve been going there since I was a kid, some 40 years ago.
In all the times that I …
Paris on a Budget
I’ve been to several countries for the past 4 years or so that I have been traveling for a living. I have to admit that I have succumbed to the charm of this perfect city called Paris. Paris is a hundred times more beautiful than the photos we see …
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or IMS as it is sometimes known, is one of those places that everyone should see at least once in their life, especially race fans. I was lucky enough to spend a few days there in 2007 when I attended the Allstate 400 at the …
Vietnam
Honestly, when my girlfriend invited me to visit her sister in Vietnam I was a bit scared. I mean, the country went through decades of war and as far as I knew, it hasn’t been that industrialized or modernized. Again, I have to eat my words. The airport wasn’t …
Pomona Bed and Breakfast
Pomona Bed and Breakfast is in the middle of Kirkwall, the capital on Orkney. As Kirkwall isn’t very big, it is within walking distance of all the attractions in town. It is on one of the main streets, so shopping is also right around the corner. The entrance is …
Mokolodi Nature Reserve
This Nature Reserve is located a bit farther from the city of Gaborone, about 40 minutes drive from where I live. It is larger than the Gaborone Game Reserve and supposedly has more animals in it. The fees are not very cheap, about P 50 or $ 7 per …
Thamaga, Botswana
We do not do much during weekends here in Botswana and especially with the World Cup season kicking off nearly a week ago, we are somewhat glued to the TV which is not the most healthy way. I also thought that I have seen enough of Botswana, having been …
Nimbin Crystal Tourist Caravan Park
After spending over six months here during several trips I could no longer recommend this park to anyone since the new caretaker took over in early 2012.
Ameneties are now extrememly poor. The bathroom blocks are rundown and absolutely filthy. It takes at least ten minutes in the female …
American Legation Museum in Tangier Morocco
A terrific site to visit while exploring Tangier Morocco is the Old American Legation Museum. You will find it within a corner section of the Medina and within the south portion.
The precise address is 8 Rue d’ Amerique and if you’d like information on it prior to a visit …
Titanic Museum
What first atrracted us, and probably everyone else, to the Titantic Museum is the look. It is built like a ship, set up to look just like the original Titantic. We had wanted to stop on previous visits to Branson, but it always looked so busy and the parking …
South Africa Two Oceans Aquarium
As expected of any tourist, I visited some places when I was in Cape Town. In particular, as I had 2 kids in tow who need to be amused and a husband who did not want to be dragged to the shops, one of the unanimous choices we picked …
Slash Proof Waist Money Belt
Travelling experience would be only memorable if I returned safely home with all my valuables intact. For me the worst part of travelling was to take care of my valuables, which I found it rather boring and irritating. Even while enjoying myself I would always be worried about the …
Journey Behind Niagara Falls
The majority of people in experiencing Niagara Falls do so from above, watching out over the railing beside the Falls, watching it fall majestically in all of its incredible glory.

Burger King Cadorna Train Station
The other day I was at Cadorna train station in Milan, Italy, and decided to get something to eat. Keep in mind that atthat particular staion there are also 2 kiosks, a pizza place (not that great, for Italian standards) and the Burger King. I gotta admit that in …

Galeri Alon
As an indonesian, it’s common to see parents are taking their children abroad during long school holidays, often very far away, e.g to see Petronas, Disneyland, or even Eiffel tower. They are more familiar with such places than local ones, such as Jogja, Bali, or Lake Toba.
From my visit …
Hollywood Star Cars Museum, Gatlinburg, TN

The Alamo
In San Antonio Texas located at 300 Alamo Plaza stands one of Texas’ greatest icons, the Alamo. This fortress is a memory ingrained into every Texas school child’s mind. However, when you go to visit this monument be prepared for the tourist traps.

The city of Semarang
Semarang is the capital of Central Jawa province. It took me one hour by flight from Jakarta. Transportation in this city consists of city bus (including Trans Semarang), taxi, and manual driven tricycle. City buses are cheap but only good when you know the route. Taxis are probably the …

Although Kuala Lumpur (KL) is only a two hour journey by flight from the town where I presently stay, I have no many occasions to visit this city. My last visit in December 2009 was to join a one-week seminar in KL, and I used my spare time to …
Prague travel
When you go from Vienna to Prague the difference hits you like a hammer.
Prague is more crowded and more colorful than you can possibly dream especially coming from a very peaceful and royal like city.
Behind the obvious appearances Prague is hiding a various number and types of treasure.
Our accommodation …
Beer Head Caravan Site
I love going to this campsite, in Beer in Devon. We first went about 10 years ago, when we knew someone with a caravan to rent down there. This was our holiday for a few years after until the caravan was sold. We felt disappointed but we got onto …

My husband and I are very fussy about where we camp. This is another one of the places that suit us. Lakewood is a very picturesque area. The profile of the surrounding area is really low key and although there are a lot of people; …
Meru Cool Cab Service

Namibia Fish River Canyon
A big advantage we had while visiting the Fish River Canyon was that this place was very near to the resort where we were staying. I did not think it would be very wise to go to the Canyon and sleep somewhere else as the journey would be …
Government House Museum, St. Augustine, Florida
Although I usually enjoy every museum I visit during my trips to St. Augustine, Florida, I wasn’t impressed with the Government House Museum. The museum area isn’t exceedingly small but there isn’t much to see and do despite the nice look of the place. We stopped in here one …
