“Tê tê te, Tetetê tetê! Samba de Bahia, Samba de Bahia…”
You don’t have to be a samba lover to know this song. The catchy tune of “Maria Caipirinha” (video below) has won the world over with its infectious samba beats and Bahia feel. The creator of this and many other Bahia-inspired tunes is none other than Carlinhos Brown, a six-time Grammy Award winner and a native of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil.

At first, I thought it worth hiring a guide for a whole day. Nevertheless, I realized that I can find all information about the country I want to go to in guidebooks or Internet, you see, there is as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. Now I think on the dilemma whether it is worth paying for a guide. Let's say I travel to Damascus, I think it's worth taking a personal guide, because there is nothing to speak about the city. But as for Istanbul, there is a good deal of information on su
Perhaps vacationing at a grand resort may be considered by some to be a thing of the past or only for the wealthy. But that would be a major misconception because this experience flourishes nestled deep in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania. Skytop Lodge, one of the area’s signature properties, is not only grand in stature but classically all-inclusive. Packed with onsite activities and gourmet meals, your stay can be as active or chill as you want it to be…anything from zip lining, fly fishin

At the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783 land speculators bought up large tracts of land in the western part of New York in the hopes of making a profit by subdividing and selling it to settlers who were anxious for inexpensive land suitable for farming. In 1792 Lincklaen, working for the Holland Land Company, checked out the area around the lake claiming, “…situation superb, fine land.” Settlers came and Cazenovia grew.
In 1807 Linckaen had his home, the neoclassic Lorenzo, built and the ho
You see, I have an obsession. Just a month ago, my sister came back after her vacation. So I want to go anywhere too. I'm just bored here, in the town, miss entertainments! I want to ask your advice, what country is it better to go, as the world is so big, and I need to choose one. of course, I've read almost all posts, but I still can't decide where to go. I've never traveled alone before, and now i'm going to leave for 7-10 days (by the way, I'm not very sociable). I would like nature there to
