We’re told Atlantis is a myth, but that’s never stopped people from looking for it. Almost every nation and culture in the world has a variant of the Atlantis myth – a mighty and powerful city that once sank below the waves and left behind no trace – and so the sheer ubiquity of the tale suggests that it might come from a forgotten historical truth. New potential locations for Atlantis are announced several times a year by the press, but none have so far been proven to be the mythical city. Perhaps none ever will.  It’s the mythical quality of Atlantis that keeps people looking for it. Like the…

Travelers around the world make the same mistake over and over and over. For some strange reason, and I count myself in as being party to this phenomenon, we believe that cities such as New York will reveal themselves to us in a more or less logical presentation of sights and sounds in a way that will not involve us having to do much about it – like there will be some magical conveyor belt from the airport that takes us around the Empire State, the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, etc. before filling our bellies with the best food and drink that New York has to offer…

Over the last few years there has been a real shift in travel trends and the days of automatically jetting off to a beach break aren’t quite as common. Instead, a different type of break has come into the equation, and it comes in the form of a shorter quieter trip. Weekend getaways are well and truly on top of the trend charts, and the reasons are unsurprising. With an abundance of low-cost airlines, more hotels across smaller, non-touristy locations and tourists only having to use a day or so of annual leave, the rise in weekend escapes really shouldn’t raise any eyebrows. At the same time, the supply and demand…

There is no power on Earth greater than the power of Mother Nature. No matter how advanced we become as a species and how incredible the technology we have at our disposal might be, we’re largely still powerless when nature decides to throw a fit. Earthquakes can still rip apart even the most resilient of our buildings, and there’s nothing that a tornado can’t rip into the air and throw around.  Nobody in their right mind would ever deliberately travel to see an earthquake or a tornado, but there is another example of nature’s awesome power that makes for a good tourist attraction. We’re talking, of course, about volcanoes. Volcanoes…
