More women are seeing the world solo these days than ever before - and by far the majority happily and without incident.  But in some countries (and you'll very much want to research which ones before you depart) crime is sadly an issue, and especially for females. Fortunately, in addition to common-sense precautions, investing in a handful of travel safety products for both your belongings and your person can help you to explore the world with security and peace of mind. In addition,

Are you heading to Philadelphia soon? If so, you should make sure to include lots of historic landmarks on your itinerary. After all, the City of Brotherly Love is one of the most historic in the United States. When you visit Philadelphia, you should also rent a car to ensure that you can get around at your most convenient pace. Make sure to rent your vehicle at the airport when you arrive.

Central America's smallest country (tinier than the US state of West Virginia and just a bit bigger than Wales) gets a bad, exagerrated rap because of gang violence that's limited to a handful of the capital's rougher neighborhoods. But in fact El Salvador does offer visitors a safe a varied menu of beaches (including some surprising surfing), ecotourism, adventure, charming colonial towns, and even several interesting Mayan archaeological sites such as San Andrés, the "Pompeii of the

When it comes to Croatia, the balmy Dalmatian Coast along the Adriatic Sea, hogs most of the attention with loads of lovely spots such as Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Korčula, and Hvar. But the towns, beaches, and landscapes on the Adriatic north of here are also first rate, and though by now you've no doubt heard of most or all of the places I just mentioned, chances are the name Rijeka is new to you. But the country's largest port and third largest city (pop. around 129,000), ca

A very popular Caribbean vacation destination known for romantic getaways, its main centres include Rodney Bay and capital Castries in the north and Soufrière down south - also the site of the island's spectacular, iconic twin peaks, the Pitons. And it offers no end of fabulous things to see and do, including:

As consumers, one of the most delicious benefits of our globalised world - especially for foodies, but really, for anyone who eats, which is all of us - is produce, meat, fish, and other foodstuffs from around the world throughout the year, whether it's kiwis and lamb from New Zealand; oranges and olives from Spain; butter and Guinness from Ireland; or seafood from Chile, Iceland, Japan, Norway, and Peru. And 90 percent of that is whisked across the seas in commercial airline holds

I once read a quote that "time wasted at the beach is time well spent." Tranquil and serene, beaches have that magic, that makes you forget the outside world, and time spent here is the time he/she gives to him/herself, sitting for hours gazing at the azure tides and listening to the rhythm of water. At the same time, some can also offer adventurous water sports, to get your adrenaline flowing. And Vietnam and Cambodia offer all of the above, along with some fabulous luxury resorts at which

A tour to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls is an experience like no other. Situated at Goa border, it is the fourth tallest waterfall in India. Its name meaning "Ocean of Drain", It is a four stage fall over soaked slopes that makes it hard to take in all at once without a bit of hiking. 

It is not your run of the mill visitor goal where you get on transport at your recreation, land at the area , have a decent view while crunching on a great nibble and after that head back. Nope, a long way from that.

The scenic Litchfield Hills region, covering the corner of northwest Connecticut, is home to several historic inns and restaurants. One of the very best is the Hopkins Inn in the small, picture-postcard village of Warren (pop. around 1,400). Settled in 1737, its attractions include a small state park, a charming one-room schoolhouse, a winery, and the handsome, 264-year-old Warren Congregational Church. And despite its tiny size, Warren has had some notable residents indeed, including film dire

Over in the eastern India, in the state of West Bengal, the country's third largest metro area (pop 14.1 million) was founded in 1690 by the British colonizers as Calcutta, and was the capital of the Raj until 1911. Also dubbed "the City of Joy," it's a mix of splendid colonial-era and contemporary architecture, as well as modern-middle-class neighbourhoods and squalid slums.

Most of all, though, it's considered India's intellectual capital and foremost hotbed of creativity and the a

Ireland's fourth largest city (pop. 80,000), located roughly midway along the country's Atlantic coast - and a nearly straight shot of a bit over two hours west of Dublin - boasts a history stretching back nearly a thousand years. But today it's best known for its lively, often boho social, cultural, and music scene (turbo-charged by its youthful university population, a good 20 percent of all Galwegians, as locals are known), as well as its many festivals and events - some 1

As you've no doubt hear, the most famous of the United Arab Emirates is a city that must be seen to be believed. Record-breaking architecture stands alongside traditional quarters, while huge man-made islands jut out of the coastline. There is a delicate balance of old and new here, resulting in a smorgasbord of things to do. You can spend your mornings sprawled out along Jumeirah Beach and your afternoons shredding powder at Ski Dubai. Or you can start your day haggling at the traditional gol

Before you board a plane to Costa Rica, there are somethings that you should know about this beautiful country. And then I will tell you the five adventurous things that you should definitely do when you go there.

First of all, you should know that Costa Rica is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites (three relating to nature and one to its precolumbian culture), and its tourism industry is the country’s leading foreign exchange earner. You might aslo be surprised to know that since 1948 Costa

The first year of the new decade is shaping up to be another big one in terms of new and expanded routes. In addition to keeping the new destinations that Iberia and Iberia Express started serving this past summer - Bastia on Corsica; Bergen, Norway; Zadar astride Croatia's Dalmatian Coast; and the Italian cities Bari, Verona, Genoa - four more will be coming online for the first time: one in Europe, one in the United States, and two in North Africa.

And it offers a seemingly inexhaustable supply of amazing sights and experiences.

The Madeiran archipelago, together with those of the Canaries, Azores, and Cape Verde, comprise Macaronesia, "the Fortunate Isles", to which the gods of Greek mythology brought the heroes when their adventurous lives were over. They are volcanic in origin, their hard, basalt mountains rising above Atlantic deeps, unconnected to the European or African continental shelves.

I daresay snow sport will come to no one's mind when contemplating the fascinating North African country of Morocco. But more adventurous types might know that the high, craggy Atlas Mountains sweep across a goodly swath of this country, giving rise not just to a robust trekking and climbing scene, but even some pretty good skiing and snowboarding, with the season running January to early April - and what's more, even within convenient distance of Marr

India is an enormous and ancient country packed with history, culture, and nature. Many first-timers opt for the classic Golden Triangle circuit, including the "greatest hits" destinations of capital city Delhi as well as Agra and Jaipur; these days many also add Khajuraho and Varanasi to their itinerary. Here are some of the top triangle highlights which await them:

Just imagine this scene – you are lying in a hammock, a gentle sea breeze in your hair. Your favorite book in your right hand, freshly open coconut in the left one. You turn your gaze to the white-sand beach with beautiful turquoise water. You hear nothing, just some local kids playing in the coconut forest on the other side of the island. The other side of the island is mere 50 meters away. That is right, you're on an island - and one you can stroll leisurely around in about nine minutes! Th
