NAGALAND is India’s Land of Festivals, the Switzerland of the East, the land of the mighty Naga warrior tribes. Unparalleled in its natural heritage, steeped in ancient legends of tribal royals and warriors, of chivalry, courage and integrity, this tiny tribal state is one of the most beautiful, eclectic and fascinating hill-states in India’s remote North East India Region (NER).

The state and her people, the Nagas, were relatively unknown to the world before the advent of Globalization. Equally,

Newfoundland: Sea, Solitude And Song


There’s something about Newfoundland, Canada, that gets under your skin.

I think it comes from the disarmingly warm and open people.

And it comes from the aching loneliness of the surrounding sea where Lilliputian villages snuggle against the craggy faces of mighty cliffs.

“Give us a song,” the dark-haired beauty called out from the doorway of one of the many Celtic pubs and taverns in St. John’s, Newfoundland’s energetic capital.

Three Great Non-Travel, Travel Books

Often a non-travel novel creates the vividness and depth of a town or village or city better than  travel book might.

But recommending a book is always tricky, so here are three recent reads and likes:

In Travels with a Tangerine, Tim Mackintosh-Smith  sets out to follow the footsteps of the great Arab/Muslim traveler, Ibn Battuta  who left his native Tangier in 1325, covered three times the distance of Marco Polo, and returned 30 years later…after some 75,000

Rivers of wine streamed down craggy roads lined with grape vines and surrounded by mountains. At Casa Lapostolle, 350,000 bottles shattered as scores of oak barrels rolled off their rackings. It was February 27, 2010, in the Colchagua Valley (right) Chile’s main wine region. An 8.8 magnitude earthquake had just rippled in from the coast where a tsunami had caused considerable havoc. With tremors lasting 90 seconds, the earthquake turned out to be among the country’s most destructive—third only t

Now, twenty years on, that same garden again provides vegetables and herbs, the house foundations have been reborn with a new house above them, knarled olive trees have been brought back into fruit, yet more fruit trees have been planted and an expansive garden of Mediterranean flora occupies the hillside.

What  Can A Grocery Store Teach Travel?

So why isn’t the travel industry using Foursquare to increase business and build a loyal travel base the way Vons is?

THIS WESTERN RESORT TOWN IS A BARGAIN NOW

I've been skiing, dining, watching wildlife, and visiting spas in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and I'm here to say that if you're able to get there before April 3, the last day of winter season, go for it. This area has gotten a ton of snow, so the Tetons look beautiful, the sled dogs feel good, thousands of big-antlered elk are still lounging on the lowlands (the National Elk Refuge) right outside town, and hotels in Jackson Hole and Teton Mountain Village,

The best travel advice I ever received? “Pick your hotel carefully. More than any other factor, it will color your impression of the destination.”

 
Nowhere is this more true than in Dubai. Travelers who report “it’s just another big city” obviously didn’t make a good choice on lodging.

The problem is that it’s hard to get the inside scoop – advice from someone who’s actually been there. What follows are my recommendations based on having stayed in each of these properties

San Diego’s favorite coastal community has a reputation for being expensive, but shoppers can find some great deals if they know where to look.

For example, the “Bargain Bash” at Torrey Pines Christian Church on Friday (9am-2pm) and Saturday (9am – noon), March 11 and 12, is an annual extravaganza beloved by bargain hunters.   The church is located at 8320 La Jolla Scenic Drive North (tel. 858-453-3550).

The Pacuare river is one of the most important rivers in Costa Rica, with approximately 108 km long, it is originated in “Cordillera de Talamanca”. Surrounded by a rainforest that housed a variety of exotic animals such as jaguars, monkeys and a very large number of birds.

Many tourists traveling to Seychelles now choose to rent a car instead of relying on taxis and guided tours as they can be incredibly expensive. Due to this, the number of car rent Seychelles companies has been steadily increasing and even international agencies are now opening small branches in the main Seychelles islands which include Mahe and Praslin.

Here are the things you will need to be able to rent a car for your holiday or business trip in the Seychelles islands:

JetBlue’s Manager of Corporate Communications, Morgan Johnston, says “The mission of JetBlue is to ‘bring humanity back to air travel.’

If that isn’t Mission: Impossible, what is?

So when I read that NY Times best-selling author and  online community expert, Chris Brogan, awarded Johnston the title “Agent Zero,” - someone who creates a bridge between a company/brand and the people, I almost saluted.

But how does Morgan approach Mission: Impossible? How does he go about building a dynamic, loyal com
