Add a commentBorneo is an amazing adventure destination and one not to miss if you love the outdoors and activities such as hiking and snorkeling. That’s not to say there aren’t things to do for the traveler who likes to take it easy – there’s beautiful beaches to laze about on and luxury hotels that aren’t too […]
Comments (1)Add a commentDominica is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, and yet not many people visit. The main tourism comes from the cruise ships that dock in its main port of Roseau for the day, but what Dominica has to offer cannot be covered on a day trip – it really takes at least […]
Comments (0)Add a commentTokyo used to be one of the most expensive cities in the world to visit, but thanks to the falling Yen, it isn’t any longer. Although Tokyo is still one of the more expensive cities in Asia to holiday in, it is affordable if you are careful with how you spend your money. You won’t […]
Comments (2)Add a commentHoi An is a magical place in Vietnam and I’ve yet to meet someone who didn’t enjoy their time there.

Thousands flock to popular coastal towns like Cancun each year, or spend time on Mexico’s Caribbean islands, but not many take the chance to explore Mexico City. […]
Comments (0)Add a commentCartagena is possibly the most charming city in all of the Caribbean coast, with its cobblestone streets, towering cathedrals and brightly colored walls. Horse drawn carts transport tourists throughout this quaint old town, and you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time as you navigate its narrow alleyways while salsa music thumps out of […]

Very few citizens have left the island, Cubans live in a place overtly controlled by a Communist government and, thanks to the fact that up until a few years ago all businesses were government run, there is no middle nor wealthy class. But that’s not to say it […]
