Selangor is a state in Malaysia and located in the heart of the Peninsula. It is actually one of the richest and well-developed state in Malaysia and if I am not mistaken, there is still a Sultan reigning there, or the royalty still reigns there.

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 …
Taronga Zoo Sydney
I recently went to Sydney for a week long vacation. I love animals, so of course I had to check out the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I must say, it was phenomenal! The admission price is very reasonable and they offer a variety of discounts (such as for college …
London
London is a really wonderful town, and if you still don’t know where this is located, it is in the region of England and in the country of UK, in Europe. Well, that is precise details, ha! Well, I am very cheerful when I talk about London …
Bucklands Luxury Tents Camp

Cave & Basin National Historic Site of Canada

We went …

A while back, my husband earned a free trip to Maui through his job, so we decided to go. At the time neither of us had been there before, but we had seen some beautiful pictures. Since it was November and we live in Michigan, we were more …
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 …

Ozark Trail 4 Room Dome Tent
My husband and I love to camp. It’s just us two, but we have this huge wonderful 4 room tent. It’s amazingly spacious.
The measurements are 16 and half feet long and 11 foot 10 inches deep!
The thing I especially like about it is the little ‘porch’ area. We take …
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 …

Which brings me to my first positive point about the Wildlife Centre. …
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, …

Cascana Toscana Lodge - Lynwood
If ever I would be required to define the term elegance, I would simply allude to the Casa Toscana Lodge in Lynwood, Pretoria as the epitome thereof.
My visit to this majestically elegant lodge was one like no other I had ever experienced in my life and the mere act …
Botswana Okavango Delta

Adventure Island Tampa
Last summer I visited Adventure Island in Tampa, Florida. It’s a good sized waterpark located right next to Busch Gardens.
I personally love water rides and I’ve been to a few waterparks. Adventure Island was a lot of fun, but not the best waterpark I’ve been to. …

One of the most beautiful parks in the entire nation in my personal opinion has to be Petit Jean State Park located in the Natural State of Arkansas. It has always been my favorite park to go to whenever I had the chance because it truly has the most magnificent …
Typhoon Lagoon, Walt Disney World
Given the fact that it has been so oppressively hot this summer, I knew I would be taking a trip to Typhoon Lagoon at one point during this summer. But I was dreading it. I love Walt Disney World’s water parks for their theme-styled parks. Like Blizzard Beach is …

Penang Toy Museum, Penang
I read about this Museum on a pamphlet at a tourist stations. The brochure used words like “impressive” “imaginative” “unexpectly creative” and “must see” Granted it was an advertising brochure but these were quotes from visitors so I thought it would be an outing that could be enjoyed by the …

Jeju Island, South Korea
The Koreans claim it as Korean Hawaii or Korean Bali, but I personally think it is a bit far stretched to compare Jeju island with Hawaii or Bali. I went there last year with my boyfriend, on a 4 day backpacking trip, and we thought it was not a …
Deoksugung Palace, Seoul, South Korea
I think this is a good place if you love to see a Korean palace but have no much time to spend for most you want to see in other Korean palaces you can see them here. The size is also small so you can explore it in less than …

To get to this …

Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles, ca is a fantastic place depending on where you go. This place can also be a nightmare if you end up in the wrong part of the city. But so many of the large US cities are like this and I honestly couldn’t tell you why. But …
