The pre-Lenten season is upon us once again, and although the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is the most famous, many other fun, fantastic examples abound across the Americas and Europe - including, of course, right here in Spain. Allow me to introduce you to three festive examples!

As its typically grey, rainy winter starts waning, locals are primed for some celebrating, and nowhere more so than in the province of Ourense, where the capital city as well

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

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

Pure Michigan

This state in the U.S. Midwest embraces a diverse menu of appealing sights and experiences for visitors, from urban culture in cities like Detroit to natural beauty across the state. If like most people you'll be arriving at Detroit Airport, consider picking up your rental car at the airport upon arrival.

You can experience the Blue Water Tour with just a drive of up to 60 miles from Detroit to Port Huron along the shorelines of Lake St. Clair (above) and the St. Cl

Travelling in India's northeast - including the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Sikkim -  in addition to a fascinating menu of history, architecture, and culture is also packed with spectacular sceneries of waterfalls, lush valleys, and more. They're a dream for outdoorsy nature- and adventure-lovers of all types, and here are five areas for hiking/trekking - some relatively easygoing, some challenging - that will take your breath away:

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.
