Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I have written a few hotel reviews before, and usually it’s in return for compensation of some form, usually a free or discounted stay. It’s a huge perk of a job that otherwise doesn’t pay too well (between you and me, I’m very poor and you should feel sorry for me). This hotel however, did…
The Galapagos Islands are a bucket list destination for many people, I know they were for me. Unfortunately, the Galapagos remain a dream because they are largely viewed as being cost prohibitive. Great news though, you don’t need to take a luxury yacht to visit the Galapagos (though that particular mode of transport is still…
France is famous for many things, but none more than wine. I was really hoping to visit one of the famous vineyards in Champagne or Burgundy, but with only 4 days in Paris that wasn’t really an option this time. I had never even considered that there might be a vineyard within the city of…
Paris; the city of lights, the most romantic city in the world… Who wouldn’t want to feel at home wandering the historic streets lined with opulent ornate buildings, freshly baked baguette in hand? Villa Daubenton offers just such an experience. Your own Paris apartment on a quiet residential street in the Latin Quarter. There are…
Prior to my visit, I did not know much about Bimini. I had heard of it and knew it was in the Bahamas, but I had no idea it was only 50 miles from Miami! The ease of getting there had me wondering why I don’t spend all of my time there! Getting to Bimini:…
The idea of “Glamping” has been intriguing to me for a while, due in equal parts to my very real fear of toilet snakes (which is magnified with more rustic camping sites), and my love of a clever name. I finally got to fulfill my glamping dreams at Big Berry in the Bela Krajina region…
Back in April I was all packed up and ready to be one of the first passengers aboard the Fathom Adonia as she sailed into the Dominican Republic for a week of “impact travel”, whatever that meant. Of course, that voyage was not meant to be and lead to a great adventure in Colombia. Fast…
Similar to what I found in Cartagena, Panama City is divided into two major sections, the old and the new. The newer section is much like any modern city full of fancy hotels, casinos, and sky scrappers, while the old section trades some of the big city glitz for historic buildings, charming streets, and museums. …
I was recently asked to review the ZUS by Nonda, and I must admit I was skeptical. Let me assure you this is much more than “just a phone charger.” Though, as a phone charger it’s nothing to scoff at. There are 2 USB ports, so you can charge 2 devices at a time. If…
You can already tell it’s haunted can’t you? About half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh, you’ll find Airth Castle in Falkirk, Scotland. This castle-turned-hotel-and-spa boasts around 500 years of history, which naturally means 500 years of ghosts!!! That is, at least according to their Wikipedia page. I booked a room at the Airth Castle…
