For most people, Pingyao is far off the radar when planning a trip to China. But this little town packs a big historical punch. It is one of China's most well-preserved ancient towns and for history buffs it is a treasure trove of ancient China.

A friend of mine is a consummate travel fanatic. She’s traveled all over the world and knows the ins and outs of internet travel websites like nobody’s business. Nevertheless, she still uses a local travel agent whenever she plans her family’s holidays. Going to Ecuador? She contacts a travel expert in Ecuador. Going to the Baltics?

Sometimes even living in a nation with arguably one of the best cuisines on the planet, I still crave something other than delicous tacos and some of the freshest sea food on the planet. After all, variety is the spice of life.

It’s the closest thing to flying I’ve ever felt, andTortuga-Island-snorkel.jpg?width=283 given my fear of heights (or, rather, falling from them), it feels a whole lot safer.

If you don’t know how to scuba dive, or don’t have the equipment, snorkeling is just as fun. Besides,
