So it was an easy chat with a friend who knew I had something to do with the travel biz. He knew I traveled. He knew I produced content (videos, Audio PostCards, travel news reports, trends) for our own site, New Media Travel, Technorati Travel and Tripatini, among others.

Desde épocas ancestrales, las civilizaciones antiguas aprendieron acerca de los beneficios de las aguas termales. Siglos más tarde, algunos de estos sitios se transformaron en balnearios. En la actualidad también es fácil encontrarlos en sitios como playas, colinas o zonas sin fuentes naturales.

Las palmeras son altísimas. Recife, ubicada en el noreste de Brasil, resulta cautivadora y la prueba de que el país carioca es mucho más que Sao Paulo y Río de Janeiro. Aquí verá cuestas empedradas, calles elegantes y fachadas de colores. Puede que le encuentre un aire a La Habana, pero está mucho más cuidada. Se ven cuerpos esculturales, fibrosos, de un moreno envidiable, y si uno no está en forma le dará cosa sacar a relucir sus carnes en la playa.
En las playas, porque Recife tiene kilómetr
On your visit to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, or Cuba, at some point soon you’re likely to find on your plate one of the locals’ favorite starchy staples: cooked plátanos (plantains -- and not just these three countries, by the way, but also various other Latin lands with Caribbean coasts and/or tropical regions, such as Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, etc.). Yes, they’re long, curved, and greenish or yellowish, and they do peel back to reveal white flesh inside. But, for those

At first glance, it may seem that luggage tags, portable electronic device protectors, and smart phone stands don't warrant a spot on the latest must-have travel accessory list. But as travelers know, simpler is better and the devil is in the details. Is your smart phone protected from twisting and bumping? Is your neck pillow too bulky for stuffing in your carry-on? Can you quickly identify your luggage at baggage claim or are you one of the stragglers staring at the rotating sea of Samsonite
We set out down the beach under a leaden sky stuffed with clouds. It was 8:00 at night, close to my bedtime (I know, I'm on Costa Rica "country" time). At first it was hard to see, with the nearly full moon sliding in and out of clouds; but soon our eyes adjusted to the dimness. A light mist began to dust us, and not a soul stirred nearby.
We were on sea turtle patrol.
Five of us were decked out in dark colors to blend with the night. Sea turtles don't like bright lights – and, ergo, light-colored
