A Midwestern state between Kansas and Kentucky, Missouri is covered in grassy levels that go for miles that comparison versus the high tops of the Ozark Mountains. A number of cities populate Missouri and are full of fantastic attractions, like the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, or the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Nevertheless, there is plenty of nature to balance out the city bustle, such as stunning state parks and other hideaways among the many things to do in Missouri. Here are t

But the historical legacy of centuries still lives on to be enjoyed, as well as m

There's no shortage of places these days for a perfect beach wedding. But for romance and exoticism, few can match tying the knot (literally) in a flower crown barefoot on a warm sand beach, with a Tahitian priest, a conch blower, dancers and romantic Polynesian music. The traditional wedding ceremonies held on Bora Bora and all the Tahitian islands is a celebration of joy and love. It includes a hand-holding blessing ceremony, exchange of flowers crowns and leis, and being wrapped in a tifaifai

How beautiful to imagine yourself in a camp locates in a glorious camp surrounded by beautiful environs. Singing and romancing on cold nights sitting around the fireside, staring on the stars in silent surroundings listening to the sounds of little creatures, basking on the lavish mattress, all that makes you dream to discover what camping in the glorious destinations of the world means. Morocco was the first place where I got the idea to experience the difference of international "glamping" -
As September ‘19 edged towards October, the fam and I had an open weekend, and we wanted to see if we could squeeze in one last blast of summer (OK, make that post-summer) at the Jersey shore.
The weather was supposed to be clear, bright, and in the high 70s Fahrenheit with zero humidity during the time that we were planning our jaunt, so the universe was telling us that this getaway idea was a good one.
We have a special affinity for Long Beach Island, which is an 18-mile-long barrier island

Dank chill, drizzle, and streetlamps shrouded in fog are bad weather? A bad time for touring? Depends! In fact, they were just perfect for a nocturnal outing I had in Barcelona last winter that was hair raising – in a good way. And what better day than Halloween to tell you about it?

Scuba diving is for sure one of most common and enjoyable aquatic activities, allowing people to explore the hidden depths and beauty of seas, oceans, and lakes with their own eyes.

Before plunging in, especially for the first time, people need to take time to acquire the physical skills, knowledge, and training needed to complete a successful

Two hours' drive east from Montevideo and a little over an hour from Punta del Este lies a stretch of coast some 180 kilometres (112 miles) long that's been the secret of a few in-the-know Uruguayans and fewer neighboring Argentines, and even fewer other foreign visitors - with wild sand dunes, little villages, sea-lion colonies, whale watching (October and November), and unspoilt white-sand beaches such as Punta del Diablo, Cabo Polonia, Santa Teresa (top), and La Palo
The Land of the Rising Sun is renowned as a nation steeped in rich history and traditions with a variety of unique customs and fascinating etiquette rituals. With my fabulous itinerary chock-a-block full of bespoke adventure that included interviewing famous kimono designer Jotaro Saito (I am pictured above wearing one of his beautiful designs), I arrived in Kyoto; the heartland of traditional Japanese culture with a mixture of excited anticipation mixed with mild trepidation.

Toward the end of the 6th century CE, a small group of Irish monks led by Saint Kevin, who had previously lived there as a hermit, founded the Christian monastery at Glendalough, in what is now County Wicklow. The settlement grew and thrived, despite Viking raids, for the next six centuries, becoming eventually absorbed into the Dublin diocese. Apart from St Kevin, the most influential Abbot of Glendalough was St Lorcan (Laurence) O’ Toole (1118 - 1180), who became Archbishop of Dublin.

The ancient temple and trading town whose settlement dates back to 300 BCE, Madurai (current pop. 1.6 million) is the cultural capital of one of India's southernmost states, Tamil Nadu. This eclectic settlement attracted rulers, travelers, and traders, not only within India but also from around the world. From the Romans and Greeks in 302 BC to the Arabs and Sufi saints in 900 AD, followed by the Ceylonese merchants and the local Chettiar hings, the city of Madurai had myriad influences over t

Senegal is one of West Africa's most popular countries for holidaymakers for good reason. There's its culturally and historically vibrant capital Dakar; its lovely Atlantic Ocean beaches; and truly amazing options for lovers of nature and adventure. A few months ago this blog laid out some particularly fetching eco-excursions out of Dakar, and if that sort of thing floats your boat, you'll want to set aside another chunk of time to experience a swath of the co

For visitors bringing their pets on holiday with them, it can be difficult to plan the journey. From finding the best pet-friendly places to stay to making sure you don’t have to leave your pup at home while you enjoy yourself. And a number of destinations especially in Europe and the United States have made efforts to make pet-toting visitors welcome. A good example is the British county of Hampshire, on the English Channel roughly halfway along Britain's south coast. With its cities
Also marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the USA's most visited, covering 816 square miles (2,114 sq. kilometers) of the Blue Ridge Mountains (part of the Appalachians) straddling eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. With four visitors' centers/ranger stations - including one near the entrance close to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and the other near Cherokee, North Carolina, both with exhibits, shops, and facilities - the park is a wond
The tiny Arab country of Lebanon (not even three-quarters the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut) on the Mediterranean bordering Jordan, Syria, and Israel, has been in the news this week thanks to universal street protests - peaceful and held in a festive atmosphere - aimed at getting its corrupt ruling politicians to step down. Additionally, the little many Westerners have known about this country is outdated, from when it was convulsed from 1975 to 1990 by a brutal civil war
