Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco
I do not ever want to go bakc to Fisherman’s Wharf.
I had heard from several people that it was a fun little touristy area, full of Ripley’s Believe It Or Nots, Wax Museums, terrible gift stores, bad greasy food and other coastal attractions.
I went there, only to discover that …

Czech Airlines
I recently flew Czech Airlines between Saint Petersburg, Russia and Paris France. I chose this airline because it offered the cheapest rate and, as a student, I was traveling on a strict budget and price was very important to me.
I can not praise the airline highly enough. I …

Lyon
I always felt that Lyon as an undiscovered gem of France. It is a charming French city, not frequented by many at the time that I visited. I don’t know why it is not a favorite amongst many tourists, but I am sure that it will be …
Panglao Island, Bohol, Philippines
Panglao Island is one of the islands in Bohol province. For me it’s like mini Boracay because of the white sand. That island is not yet that commercialized compared to Boracay. There is a dolhin show every morning at the sea. At night you can …

My father is turning 70, and my siblings and I decided to send him to San Francisco, California as his gift. He has never been out west, so we thought it would be the perfect vacation spot for him. The problem is that those planning this trip have never …

Mysertious Mansion, Gatlinburg, TN
To be perfectly honest, I had no idea this place even existed until I took the Gatlinburg Ghost Tour and it was mentioned in passing it by the tour guide. After that, I would walk past the mansion every now and then while walking Gatlinburg. During one trip, we …

St. Augustine Sightseeing Trains

The Waikiki Aquarium
The Waikiki Aquarium is very small in comparison to other popular US aquariums like the Atlanta Aquarium or Tennessee Aquarium. Since it only costs a few dollars in admission though, it is well worth taking the kids to. What makes the Waikiki aquarium different from other aquariums …
The Teatro Degollado in Guadalara Mexico
The Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara absolutely blew my mind. From the very moment I approached the front of the building I was greeted by an architectural beauty. The building was made to resemble a Greek Pantheon, with tall columns and all.
Inside the theater itself, the view was even …

Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada
If you ask me which park is the best park in the world, you have asked me a very easy question, indeed. It’s Banff National Park for me nothing else ever comes close!
Niagara Falls will be my second choice, but I can tell you my number one and …
Docklands Melbourne
I landed in Melbourne one year and one month ago. Ever since, I have observed and admired the diversity of this pretty place. The most delightful consequence of a multi-cultural place is food. At the end of the day, we all work hard for a good meal. I have …

Duke Energy Children’s Museum
I absolutely loved the Duke Energy Children’s Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. We just called it the Cincinnati Children’s Museum but I guess it has some sort of corporate sponsor. In any case, it was wonderful and my almost three-year-old daughter had a blast.
I do not remember how …

Banaue Rice Terraces
I grew up knowing that the Banaue Rice Terraces is the eighth (8th) wonder of the world. Back then it was a grueling twelve-hour journey over the most horrible road and made only by the most adventurous. I only saw pictures of them and even then, I swore to …

Jack Wolfskin Little Joe
While travelling, I am usually appointed as the overseer of all passports, vaccination cards, plane tickets and all sorts of documents which we would need. I always need a large handbag to fit all these things in addition to my purse. However, I hardly find anything quickly in my …
Jekyll Island GA
I am a person who does not really enjoy the hustle and bustle of the big city. Traveling around Phoenix, while this may be much warmer than it is in the Northwoods, is not my idea of fun. (Just so you know, we live in the country …

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 …
Little Lebanon in Melbourne
I have never experienced Lebanese culture before. It was great just mingling and getting to know the Lebanese in Melbourne. An entire street is dedicated to Lebanese and their way of life. It sure is a fantastic experience. The street I talk about is called Sydney Road and is …
Birthright trip to Israel from Shorashim
