One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island is surrounded by as many as 16 lakes. What it is renowned for, however, are the mud pools, geysers and the smoke snaking out of its ground. The city is based on top of an active volcanic zone and is enveloped in a weak sulphur smell. Nicknamed the Sulphur City, Rotorua is a heaven for vacationer – possessing just about every type of activity a tourist could ask for. Yet for the people who wish to pull this off
Some leasing companies may track their vehicles, but they must ensure that renters are properly informed before accepting the lease. Road haulers, of course, want to protect their car from theft and damage, and GPS detectors can help protect their cars.
It should be noted that some executive car-rental companies can track the car via the Global Positioning System (GPS), but most car rental companies do not have GPS installed on their vehicles. This is a common misconception, but if you think abou
Being home to the Himalayan Mountains, a great number of scenic destinations in India experience snowfall. In addition to making the spot look like a winter wonderland, these snow-covered slopes also offer many exciting adventure activities. From skiing to snowboarding, ice skating to ice climbing, winter is the only time to experience all these adventure sports in India.
Large parts of north and northeast India are covered in snow during the winter months. Most of these destinations are popula
Rated among the world’s seven wonders, each year millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate clockwise from Tanzania's Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara, mating along the way. One thing with the wildebeest migration, you have to get your timing perfectly right; there is no point to come for wildebeest migration and end up gazing over the resident wildebeest and zebras. You need to know exactly where and when to visit, these is where my month by month guide comes in handy!

If there’s one thing that abounds on a commercial jetliner, it’s wheels; the large airliners of Iberia and other carriers can have up to 12 of them in the main landing gear. And while you might think they’re important, they’re actually even more critical than you might think, and their maintenance is prioritised accordingly. Here’s a succinct step-by-step rundown of how our expert teams keep our fleet’s wheels in optimum working order.

Located on the south coast of the England about just over two hours by road or rail from London is one of the most unusual of any British city. Bournemouth (pop. 184,000) has almost Mediterranean climate, breathtaking sea views, palm trees growing on every street, and golden sandy beaches, whilst just beyond lie a green belt including inviting national parks.

While the city of New York is considered as one of the priciest cities in America, you'd be surprised to know about the many things you could enjoy without spending a single cent.
Everything sounds and feels better when it comes to free. In a world like today's where everything seems to cost more and more, the toughest part is to enjoy something without shelling out a penny. Free stuff, however, hasn't lost its luster and never will. Imagine on your expensive holiday you discover the many things

Zao Onsen, one of Japan's premier ski and hot spring resorts, located in Yamagata Prefecture, in the northeastern Tohoku region of Japan's main island Honshu, officially opens today for the winter 2018-2019 ski/snowboard season.

Winter vacation season is coming soon, and still, many travelers keep getting their identities stolen due to careless use of public Wi-Fi. Free wireless networks are not able to offer security in most cases, since public Wi-Fi can be hacked into fairly easily. The solution to online safety while traveling is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which not only protects users on public Wi-Fi but also allows to access restricted sites and even save money while traveling.

The Duboeuf family has been producing wine in the south of France for more than four centuries, but it wasn't until 1964 that Georges Duboeuf launched Les Vins Georges Duboeuf.
Duboeuf's perpetual quest for high quality grapes adheres to his ancestors’ traditional methods, rooted in unique terroir and authentic winemaking techniques, rigorous selection, and careful monitoring at bottling time. This translates into exporting locally favorite IGP varietals from the Burgundy regions of Beaujolais an
Whenever I’m away from home, I often take a view from our hotel room, for social media. At Agra, I opened the curtains to behold … the golden arches of McDonalds.
Not that I really have anything against McD’s; I sometimes eat there, but it’s certainly not my eatery of choice. It’s just that their golden arches seem to intrude on beautiful scenery or architecture all over the world (except in a limited number of places such as the part of Germany we visited earlier this year, where they had to kee
A few months ago Airbnb entered into a partnership with the Bermuda Tourism Authority that involves marketing and the exchange of fees. Then, in December, it signed one with the British Virgin Islands. Remarkable, because Bermuda and the BVI are nothing if not upmarket destinations. What's more, Airbnb has now signed memorandums of understanding with 16 Caribbean governments, creating a new era of cooperation between those governments and a company that not so long ago was frequently accused of
Visitors who come to Vietnam are always attracted by its mighty natural beauty, from the yellow northern terraces in the period of harvesting season stretching down to the central highland and the bustling areas of the Mekong Delta in the south.

When it comes to winter activities, skiing and snowboarding (and to a lesser extent ice skating) understandably get most of the attention.

Are you thinking of visiting sunny Crete with your little ones? Here’s everything you need to know.

When visiting a city for a few days even as a dedicated well researched traveler, it's difficult to cover all the can't-miss attractions, let alone sample the wide crosscut of renowned food and beverage offerings. Markets and food halls provide a solution with an array of choices under one roof instead of visiting each establishment individually scattered across many neighborhoods. Among the first in the United States, Philadelphia's public markets have provided the perfect environment for food
I confess, I do especially love Guatemala. In many ways, it’s the country of Central America which more than any other truly “has it all”. That includes breathtaking Mayan archaeological sites (Exhibit A: Tikal), lovely Spanish colonial architecture (Antigua), exciting Guatemala ecotourism; alluring Guatemala beaches (near Caribbean-coast Livingston, for example); modern Mayan culture (Chichicastenango, Lake Atitlán, etc.); and quite stimulating museums throughout the country.
