Hay una larga lista de personas famosas con fobia a volar. Quizás el más destacado de todos ellos sea Gabriel García Márquez, quien hace ya tiempo escribió un cómico artículo sobre el asunto titulado “Seamos machos: hablemos del miedo al avión”, en el que nos dejaba algunas perlas como éstas:

“Yo lo padezco como nadie, a mucha honra, y además con una gratitud inmensa, porque gracias a él he podido darle la vuelta al mundo en 82 horas, a bordo de toda clase de aviones, y por lo menos diez veces.

Get married in a church or a hotel ballroom … or on a tropical beach at sunset, or in the rainforest, or by a mighty volcano? Adventure and romance await you at a Costa Rica destination wedding.

Why not combine your wedding, your honeymoon, and a vacation all in one trip? More and more, couples are choosing destination weddings as the way to go.

When one thinks of Belize, most likely the first thought to come to mind is the fabled Blue Hole, and the world’s second largest barrier reef, second only to the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. But the tiny nation surrounded by its big brother to the north, Mexico and Guatemala to the west and south, is an eco-travelers, adventurer enthusiasts dream. Taking a closer look, there is more to Belize than meets the eye.

Il y a des dizaines de millions d'années, la mer remontait jusqu'à Lyon en recouvrant toute la Provence. Beaucoup de trace de cette époque demeure sur le territoire du Verdon. Il est un vaste secteur naturel, situé au nord de la Provence entre les massifs préalpins et le bassin méditerranéen.

The World is a landmark project for future eco-tourism projects worldwide. It is a collection of 300 manmade islands located off the Dubai coast, and created from sand scoured from the sea. The islands are shaped into various countries and continents, and an individual island can be shaped into an epitome of personal or corporate luxury. The private artificial islands are divided into four categories, such as private homes, dream resorts, estate homes and community islands.

Today, we celebrate 17 years on the road. Yes, it was on March 1, 1996 when Dan and I closed the door on our previous lifestyle and started anew. As we walked down the apartment steps for the last time... Read our story

Suspended on cables gliding through the tops of giant tropical trees, amid hidden, dripping, hanging gardens full of plants and animals in the rainforest, is a pretty cool experience. Rainforest trees are tall, really tall, even towering up to more than 100 feet high. The microcosm of life happening at this level is abundant and amazing, and not often seen.

Unlike canopy zip line tours, which have become all about the thrill of zipping as fast as possible on long, high cables through the treetops

He trained with EcoTraining some 10 years ago and is now sharing his knowledge and skills by training guides in Nepal. He hopes to come back to South Africa to do more trails guide and tracking courses. He remembers his time at EcoTraining: 

“It’s hard to imagine that it is now 10 years since embarking on a career in ecotourism and wildlife conservation; all of what has happened in that 10 years would not have been possible were it not for the training I received at EcoTraining.

Searching for a hotel online is actually more complex than, say, searching for a flight or car rental or even Viagra. A hotel stay is more of an emotional experience than flying somewhere. To go from New York to London, is simply to find the most convenient, and best-priced flight.

Choosing a hotel  is choosing a home away from home. It's actually a place where you live for a while, and often with someone you really care about.  It's an emotional experience. Flying isn't. Hopefully.

So, you ha

I never thought I’d go cross-country skiing again, but I went this morning. I tried cross-country skiing years ago, not out of desire but because it was a story assignment for a Tahoe weekly paper I worked on. If I recall, I spent most of my time that day in the snow. Not on it. And my take on the whole idea of cross-country skiing? Tougher than downhill skiing. Painful. Not worth it. Not by a long shot.

For a downhill skier, which is how I identified myself at the time, wobbling along on skinn

My playmate’s father walked with a stiff leg from the D-Day invasion of World War II. At the age of seven, we all knew the basics of what this meant – we also knew older kids still without fathers. We boys all talked about what our fathers had done in the recent war. Knowing these men puts faces on the deeds they did as exhibited by the National D-Day Memorial near Lynchburg, Virginia.

Visitors at the D-Day Memorial experience a powerful tribute to the young Americans of the Allied landings in

When it comes to exotic locations, Southeast Asia is one of the places to beat. It offers a wide range of things to see and experience, including beautiful beaches, rich culture and history, busy cities, and one of a kind natural wonders. Vietnam is one of the most famous choices as of late, though, as it has great offers for tourists, attracting more and more folks to travel to Vietnam.

Vietnam's Bustling Tourism

Since the 1990s, Vietnam has created a name for itself in the tourism industry. With

You thought you could relax with the Western new year celebrations out of the way? Think again. The whole of Vietnam is now warming up for the Tet holidays -- noticed all those police stop points and fields full of lucky trees recently? If you're heading this way February 10 to 14 this year, consider what this will mean for your trip.

The whole country will be on a go-slow for at least a week either side; Vietnam becomes  gridlocked, garish and glorious and contrary to most traveller stories it i

With remarkably well preserved historic architecture, grand parks, and a vibrant nightlife, it is no surprise that LGBT travelers have recently discovered Salta as a gay-friendly Argentine vacation destination.

Surrounded by the Andes mountains, Salta is a very gay welcoming city located in the Lerma Valley, at almost 4000 feet above sea level in Argentina's north west region. Along with its metropolitan area, it has a population of almost 700,000 inhabitants. Within Ar

From Stage to Screen

Best known as a Broadway musical, Fiddler on the Roof has been delighting audiences for almost half a century with its blend of boisterous and mournful melodies. The Tony award winning story of Tevye, the humble milkman with five young daughters and a feisty wife, has played out thousands of times on the stages of Broadway, London’s West End and in theatres all around the world.

With such a popular stage play it was inevitable that a movie version would be made and in 1971

[MILFORD, PA] -- The Werner/Koppel Jazz Duo will bring their dynamic sound to the Milford Theatre on April 26th.

La encuesta reveló que existen tres focos principales de turismo en el país. De tal modo, Guanacaste, el Pacífico central y Puntarenas (con sus islas) son las áreas más apetecidas por los vacacionistas. En contraposición, las zonas las Llanuras del Norte, el Valle Central y el Caribe son visitadas con menor frecuencia por el turismo. Así, cualquier visitante extranjero puede aprovechar las zonas y momentos menos concurridos para planear su tiempo de ocio. En esta línea, la playa es el destino de

I watched the horse, as if  possessed by the devil, run at full speed, urged on by a charro (Mexico’s answer to the cowboy). It was useless though; there was no possible way out. The circular arena, called a lienzo, only allows for running in circles. Meanwhile, in the middle of the ring, another impeccably spiffy charro, with coffee-colored hues on his boots, pants, jacket and shirt, whips his lasso, twirling it in the air, waiting for the charger (called a corcel) to get close.
