From brief gusts to strong breezes to howling winds – it’s always windy during summer season on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. That means it’s time for fun wind and water sports.
Why is it so windy in Costa Rica this time of year?
These high summer winds even have a name: Papagayo winds. NASA tells us that when it's freezing cold and snowing in North America, the cold air and high-pressure weather systems move south over the Gulf of Mexico. The cold air is drawn toward the warmer,
After a lot of research we choose No Frills Ephesus Tours for our tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and they did not disappoint. The services were professional, the guiding excellent and the experience wonderful. What l loved the most was that it wasn't obvious we were on a guided tour. There were no audio headsets or flag waving that you see in a large group and the conversational way our guide spoke made it feel like a very knowledgeable friend was showing us around. The day flew by and we s

You have decided to move to Costa Rica, or at least buy a vacation home in one of the world’s most popular places for living abroad.
How do you choose where is the best place to buy a home in Costa Rica?
The five most important things to consider are: lifestyle, climate and geography, infrastructure, community, and pricing. Your best strategy is to rent a place for a few months to see how you like living in that area.
1. Think about what kind of lifestyle are you looking for? What are your hobbies?
The “Rapid” Ferry
When we planned this vacation, Lake Garda's Simio Peninsula, Sirmione, and its Roman villa ruins became a magnet, and we scheduled a day trip back into history to visit an ancient vacation site of extremely wealthy Roman citizens.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - But We Choose the Ferry System
About 15 minutes from our hotel is the village of Saló, the location of the ferry service docks. The ferry system offers scenic lake steamers or the more time efficient hydrofoils; all
Most people think that planning and implementing a holiday trip is an easy task. The truth is that it’s not, especially if you will be on holiday for a long period. To completely enjoy your holiday in some of the destinations like Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam you need careful planning. Why should you visit a particular destination and leave without visiting the must-visit places on its surface? It makes no sense at all.
There is so much to explore in South East Asia. To ensure you don’t miss o
Are you looking for a new adventure at the sea? If you are the type of person who loves the beauty of the ocean then you must try deep sea fishing. This offshore activity is not your normal lake fishing or river fishing. This is ultimate fishing at its finest. It involves big fish nets, reliable motors, and most of all, huge boats that can hold strong currents. This is an enjoyable activity ideal for families, friends or colleagues. It gives people their freedom to sail in the open sea and explo

Are you thinking about travelling out of the country anytime soon? Then you might want to consider looking into traveller’s insurance. Traveller’s insurance protects you from numerous different situations that hopefully do not occur, but it’s there to be utilised in case of an emergency before, during or after your trip. In this article, you will learn what to look for when you choose your traveller’s insurance.
Familiarise Yourself with Your Options
Travel insurance may include trip interruption,
The act of drinking wines is to literally taste specific locations across the globe. I never cease to be amazed by how wines provide such an in depth lens into a particular country and culture. By far the best way to experience them is to of course travel where they're produced and visit the vineyards in person. But lack of time and/or money sometimes make this impossible. For those times, plan for some armchair traveling by tasting some reasonably priced and increasingly available local varieta

Anxious fliers wonder how others fly with so little trouble. Confident fliers can’t quite understand why anyone has trouble. Why the difference? Feelings of inflight anxiety, claustrophobia, and panic are caused when stress hormones build up. These hormones are released when a tiny part of the brain, the amygdala, senses something unfamiliar or unexpected, such as when turbulence causes the plane to drop.
Some of us regulate stress hormones automatically and unconsciously. Others regul
Noida: “Participation of so many countries on 12th February – International Day of Journalism and 13th World Radio Day proves that Love Peace and Unity is still the priority of the World.

Canada‘s third largest metro area (pop. 2.3 million), on the Pacific Ocean at the southwestern corner of British Columbia, Vancouver is known for its majestic natural setting and is also frequently ranked as one of the world’s best cities in which to live – as many visitors discovered during the 2010 Winter Olympics held here, and more than 9 million others continue to experience each year.
Vancouver is divided basically into the Westside, the Eastside (aka East Van), and city center. In addit
More and more travelers want to feel they are contributing in some way to the place where they vacation. Giving back while on vacation has become a global movement sparking volunteerism and community outreach with tourists.
In Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, two top hotels share a heartfelt program that lets their guests feel good about supporting the community there.
Hotel Tropico Latino and Florblanca Hotel implement the “$5 Check Out Program” that allows their guests to add an optional charge on thei
I crammed a lot into my one day in Flagstaff. Now it was time to move on, and my reservation for the next night was at the Grand Canyon's Yavapai Lodge. I was anxious to get going, but first thing in the morning I had a good breakfast, checked out of the motel and headed over to the Riordan Mansion State Park. Being a state park, I expected it to be outside of town. To my surprise, it is just a couple of blocks off the main road, right by the university campus.
Seferis’s line about his native Greece, ‘Our country is a closed in place, all mountains’, haunted my mind as I traversed Albania. I had gone in the hope that Albania now would be like the southern Europe of my student days. The news in brief is: it is, and it isn’t. First impressions of Tirana, the capital, were that it was a city in a hurry to expand. Despite being badly damaged in 1944, it retains an unexpected charm, perhaps because of Mussolini’s pine-lined boulevards and green spaces. The
Bento Gonçalves is a slice of Italy in Brazil's far south. It's not overly well known outside of the country but a highly-regarded destination among Brazilians, who consider it a first-class tourist destination. This is because this city in Rio Grande do Sul state is one of the most beautiful and important in the Serra Gaucha mountain range, due to its landscapes full of vineyards and the expansive nature which make this place a most welcoming destination.
As you enter the city you will find a
