I saw this at the Asian Civilization Museum in Singapore:
I sat there for a few moments, thinking about what this meant. Why do people like me, travelers, choose to be so far away from the people they love, first and foremost, our families? It seems like a cruel way to pay back those who helped raise us, helped us become the people we are today.
I rarely meet other travelers who keep in touch with their family as well as I do. Part of that is natural - I'm closer to my parents than most peopl
The mountainous district of Tay Giang, 190km west of Tam Ky City in the central province of Quang Nam, is increasingly becoming known as a prime destination for motorbike adventures. The area offers amazing scenery and the opportunity to glimpse the lifestyle of members of the ethnic minority group Co Tu, who make up the majority of the district's population of 13,000.
Mark Wyndham, who runs a motorbike adventure tour company based in Hoi An, said the mountain
Now take your focus out to a global view, and you have a clear picture of what is happening in the Amazon Rainforest. 
The Amazon is the largest contiguous tropical forest in the world, and releases 20% of the world’s life-giving oxygen. Today in 2012, due to mostly slash-and-burn deforestation, nearly one-fifth of the Amazon’s forest has been cleared (Amazon Conservation Team).
Often described by scientists as the “Earth’s lungs” (albeit in reverse), tropical rainforests take in vast quantities o

Locals and tourists alike are often looking for the same thing, no matter what city they're in: a convenient, clean, FREE public bathroom. I've heard that in some cities, like London, you pay for certain public bathrooms. In many places, we rely on McDonalds, Starbucks or other fast-food joints that we recognize. In New York City, McDonalds is rarely clean, and at Starbucks you have to ask for the key. Neither of those options work for me.
I like to know my bathroom choices, whether I'm traveli
Goa, which is known to be the hub for tourism in India, has a rich history. It was a former Portuguese Colony and it shows in the culture and architecture of the city. Each year around 2.5 million tourists visit the region to enjoy the history and the beaches of Goa. Panaji is the state capital of Goa and is one of the most famous cities in India. The state is quite different from other areas of India.
People and Cities
The population of Goa consists of a mixture of Hindus and Roman Catholics. A
Chittagong is a fairly big, spread out town, and the largest international seaport in the country. Like Dhaka the streets are filled with masses of rickshaws, though the city puts in a little more effort to keep its streets and sidewalks clean.
The city of Chittagong is a major tourist attraction in Bangladesh. Its green hills and forests, its broad sandy beaches and its fine cool climate always attract the holiday-markers. Described by the Chinese traveler poet, Huen Tsang (7th century AD) as "a

Castles are quite a rare architectural feature for Russia. There are plenty of churches, fortified hermitages, well-preserved military fortresses and ancient manors of the nobility, but the castles are the great wonder (really yet to seek).
Here you can see three castles, but can you really guess which one is located in Russia?
The trip was postponed several times during the two long years, and who knows, maybe the arrived mellow autumn gave us a shove to go finally. Here it is – the château in th
Travelers tell-all: confess top travel annoyances and their
own naughty behavior in this year’s Vacation Confidence Index
This holiday season, Americans aren’t just opening up their wallets to buy presents for family and friends – they’ll also spend 12 percent more on holiday travel, according to the fourth annual Allianz Travel Insurance Vacation Confidence Index released today by Allianz Global Assistance USA. Following cautious holiday-travel spending last year, this year’s spending is on the

En la actualidad todos asociamos la palabra aerolínea directamente con aviones a reacción como el Airbus 320 y el Airbus 340 y familia. Si acaso algunos, los más aerotrastornados, también pensamos en turbohélices como por ejemplo el ATR-72. A lo mejor, haciendo un poco de memoria, pensamos en aviones míticos como elConnie o el DC-3.
Pero sin embargo, la primera aerolínea del mundo en cobrar por sus vuelos no utilizaba aviones sino dirigibles. Se trataba de una empresa alem
Today, Sapa’s narrow streets are both temporary home and business place to the H’mong, Dao, Giay, Pho Lu, and Tay people, whose traditional ethnic dress marks them out from the multitude of nations who come to Sapa to lose themselves in its landscape.
Deep within the valleys and mountains of Vietnam’s furthest Northern reaches lies the remote hill town of Sapa. Most often viewed through the seemingly never ending carpet of mist, Sapa is a visual feast unmatched in Vietnam; on the one hand remote
