The word “Kenya voluntourism” means a responsible tour or safari that is either preceded or succeeded by charity work in Kenya. As the days of our lives on earth go on rolling like grits of sand through the hour glass, our comprehension and appreciation of the fabulous nature surrounding us keeps on getting more and more intimate.

This is an inevitable and a natural fact and we have to call a spade a spade, not a big spoon. I am in Africa, writing this article under an acacia tree, and a family o

The Garhwal Himalayas are known as an 'abode of the God'. Besides being the source of India's holiest rivers, the Garhwal has beautiful variations in landscape like deep gorges, hanging valleys, sparkling streams, water cascades and lush green meadows. Garhwal trekking is very popular as there are many treks of varying difficulty that are ideal for beginners and for veterans.

No, this doesn’t come from us, but from someone who Tweeted about a new travel-dating site called, Misstravel.com
It’s pretty much a travel dating site...with plenty of innuendo.
The explanatory video asks are you attractive, love to travel, but don’t have the money?

It then explains that there are plenty of wealthy types (all men) like doctors, athletes, bankers, executives and other well-heeled guys who don’t want to travel alone.

To be launched April 24th, the site brings the two groups toge

Some may call it the restaurant capital of Buenos Aires, but Palermo Hollywood is a barrio with its own distinctive flavour. In the mid-nineties a number of TV and radio producers set up shop  in the area of Palermo Viejo between Córdoba, Santa Fe, Dorrego, and Juan B. Justo Avenues. Subsequently, this part of the neighbourhood began to be called "Palermo Hollywood". Presently, it's best known for the concentration of restaurants, cafes, night clubs, and vibrant atmosphere.

I love birds. I really enjoy tracking birds especially during my private Tanzania camping holidays or as I enjoy my budget Kenya Safari trips. Birds are beautiful creatures with a very simple life. Their lifestyle is simple and adorable. Most of their life is spent looking for food and composing wonderful melodious songs that form a crucial part of our films and songs. I like the way they are organized by nature in such a way, that a particular species of birds will participate in completing the

I’d been on assignment at the Four Seasons Costa Rica when I headed south to take advantage of the prize I’d won at an Allianz-sponsored Tripatini event in NYC: a week of intensive Spanish classes at the Samara Language School (Instituto de Idiomas Intercultural) on the beach in Playa Samara. I’d forgotten much of the semester’s Spanish I’d taken in college, and I was looking forward to a quick refresher course. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get there in time for the first class, and I was anxious

Be ready to learn a lot of lessons during your participation in one of our regular Kenya safari trips including Masai Mara tours. Wild animals are very humble creatures and quite interesting to watch as they go about their routine chores of looking for food. During these interesting Tanzania adventure and Kenya trips, you will realize that each category of animals have their own way of escaping predators, looking for daily bread, defending and bringing up their young ones, which in turn results

The TSA demands either a nude computer image to be taken of every traveler or if you opt out, you're subjected to the standard metal detector and a full body rub down which includes a nice caressing of the g

Is there a better way to kick off spring than taking a trek through an ancient petrified forest or going butterfly watching on a mangrove island? Yes: Go there for free!

National Park Week starts this Saturday, April 21, and lasts through April 29. During this time, admission is free to all 397 U.S. national parks.

Some national parks never charge entrance fees. For example, admission to Great Smoky Mountains National park costs zilch. But at parks that do charge to get in, you could save a nice c

No, price isn’t everything in travel. It counts for a great deal in making travel decisions, but those merchants of “low, low prices” are missing the point.

What seems to drive travel choices is the ability for the traveler to connect with a brand; to feel and identify with it.
At least that’s what the Harris Poll EqiTrend 2012 (EQ) study tells us.

The poll is a study of the health and function of major brands, and Travel Daily News has a neat summary in its newsletter.

I purchased travel insurance before embarking on my year-long, round-the-world backpacking trip. Of course, it's not the kind of thing you ever want to use, but I figured it might come in handy for medical woes, bag theft or a broken iPod.

I did not expect that my mother would die. 

She passed away in Ohio. I was at a yoga camp in Dahab, on the Red Sea shore of Egypt's Sinai peninsula (pictured above).  I never felt so physically or emotionally isolated before in my life.  

We would be tempted to say that the best time to travel to Iceland would be in June, July and August but there  is  no best time actually.  Everything depends on what you are looking for.  Iceland in summer time and Iceland in winter time is two different countries.

In the summer time you have the day light 24h/24h,  that is magic.  You can cross the country from south to north or vise versa by the highlands.  You will see  incredible colors in the highlands -   you can rent a car and then visit

Sometimes, we all need an escape from the big city. Cross the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and enter another world. The home of the University of California at Berkeley is more than just a college town. For a perfect getaway head to the Claremont Resort and Spa in the Berkeley Hills, but actually situated in Oakland, on the Oakland, Berkeley boarder.

The historic hotel opened in 1915 and is known as one of the top ten spas in the U.S. and a great place to

Up until recently, when folks mentioned liquor from the Southern U.S., whiskey and moonshine immediately sprang to mind. Popularized through aggressive marketing and folklore, images of whiskies like ‘Ole Grand Dad and Jack Daniels are etched into a cultural milieu that also plays up images of pickup truck driving backwoods individualists. But of course reality is just a bit more complex and liquor production in what is commonly referred to as “the South”, an area roughly defined by the Mason D

When in Chengdu, China try a local specialty called hot pot.  There are many varieties of hot pot.  Generally, it comes with a pot of broth that is shared by everyone at the table and in Chengdu the broth can be spicy hot.  Diners then order skewers of fish, chicken, meat and/or vegetable which they cook in the broth.  In some Chengdu restaurants the table is designed especially for hot pot with a recessed square hot plate in the middle of the table.  The wait staff turns on the heat and deliver

We all know what the modern day Olympic Games are all about but over the years many changes have taken place and there have been some rather strange rulings to the games!

Here are some very random and strange facts about the Olympic Games:

1. The first Olympians right back in ancient Greek times participated in the nude! Why I hear you ask; it was a tribute to the gods.
2. Married women were not allowed at the games, so they created their own; The Heraea Games. So there you go girl power was around long
