Fez


One of Morocco's Imperial Cities and past capitals, Fez (locally spelled Fes) positively exudes culture and history, especially its emblematic medieval medina, a huge, no-car warren that can at times seem overwhelming to some visitors but entrances them all. Those who wander the narrow alleys can discover the city's palaces, hammams, mosques, market stalls, and pair of madrassas, Islamic schools dating back to the 14th century, both with intricate façades carved from cedar an

Located in the province of Cavite an hour north of Manila, Tagaytay (pop. around 71,000) is one of the Philippines most popular domestic destination because of its beautiful scenic landscapes, natural attractions, and relatively cooler climate, situated as it is at an altitude of 639 meters (2,096 feet).

A relatively small state running along the southwestern Arabian Sea coast of India, Kerala bills itself as "God's own country" in part because in feel it's a languid, tropical world away from much of the rest of the country, combining sea, mountains, and backcountry waterways in a delightful package. The best way to tour it is by starting your trip from the north in its second largest city Kochi, then making your way through Munnar, Allepey, Kovallam, Kanyakumari, and Trivandrum; doing this traj

Along with the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu not far away, a visit to Cuzco in the Andes - a magical mix of Spanish colonial and precolumbian Inca - is a bucket-list must for every world traveler. And there's a lot to see, which is why the Cusco Tourist Ticket (also known as BTC Cusco) is an excellent idea for visitors, bundling entry fees for the main attractions in and around the city, valid for one to ten days depending on the type, for prices between 70 and 130 soles (currently abou

Even most folks in the USA rarely give much thought to this quintessential farm state in what's sometimes dismissively termed "flyover country" (between the more "interesting" East and West Coast) of the Midwest. Yet every four years in late January and early February (and this year, culminating today), this becomes a hotbed of presidential politics as Iowans gather to make their choice for each political party's presidential candidates, and this first contest of the elect

6 of the Top Adventures on St. Kitts & Nevis

9009428263?profile=original

Saint Christopher and Nevis Islands, commonly referred to as “St. Kitts” or “SKN”, comprise a country in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles’ Leeward Islands. They're actually the tops of a submerged volcanic mountain range, covered with rolling green folds of volcanic peaks and lush valleys- and more than a quarter of the "Sister Islands" is conserved as national park lands. Regular ferry service connects the islands of St. Kitts with Nevis – they’re only a couple of miles (three kilometers) apart.

Welcome to February! Since 1970, it's also been Black History Month in the USA, and since 1995 in Canada, as well (whereas it's observed in October in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands). And though the reason for the African diaspora was tragic and horrific - the brutal, centuries-long trafficking of human slaves - it has also enriched many parts of the world, and indeed, world culture as a whole. So what better way to kick BHM off than with a look at a dozen of the most

When it comes to hiking, admittedly I am an addict. Give me mountains to climb, lake shores to wonder, ridges to scramble across - anything that involves a pair of walking boots, a backpack and stunning views and I’m a happy gal. Living in the UK, I've hiked some fantastic routes which span all the way across the country, from the towering mountain of Snowdon in Wales to lower-range fells in the Lake District - and not forgetting the famous national parks in Scotland such as the Cairngorms.

Visiting the United States, under 21, and looking to rent a car or other vehible? Usually no problem, as the age for rental is generally 18. However, keep in mind that car-rental companies try to protect their cars in the case of relatively inexperienced drivers by imposing young-driver fees and making only economy class cars available to them.

Furthermore, car rental under 21 with no fee is possible if you know where to go and what to do. For example, if you're traveling with an older
