A Royal Sightseer’s Guide To Britain
The Queen of England might technically only rule over the British Isles and the Commonwealth, but she’s known all over the world. With apologies to Beyonce Knowles and Taylor Swift, she’s probably the world’s most famous woman, and she’s also the longest-reigning monarch in the world. She’s been on the throne for 65 years, and she’s seen the world change beyond all recognition during that time. One thing that hasn’t changed in all that time, though, is the great fascination with her and her entire family that exists across the planet. There’s evidence of the enduring fascination with the British Royal Family everywhere you look in the world of entertainment. Many…

Things To Do On A Weekend In London
There are only two reasons you wouldn’t want to go and visit London at some point in your life. The first is that you live in the UK already and you’ve been to London multiple times.

Road Trip Safety Tips
Pexels – CCO Licence Road trips are a great way to travel. They give you more freedom to explore off the beaten track and do things your own way. Of course, when you embark on a road trip, you are typically spending more time on the road than you otherwise would, and that means there is a greater risk to your safety. It’s shocking but there are around 6 million car accidents in the US every year and a staggering 2,500 fatalities occur each year from sideswipe collisions alone. You shouldn’t let this put you off, rather you should take every precaution to ensure your road trip travels are as safe as…

In Search of Atlantis: 5 Possible Contenders
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…

New York Hotspots – See Something Different
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…

How to squeeze the cost of a short-haul weekend escape
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…

It is a very small landlocked country that has maintained its charm and authenticity that is hardly seen nowadays in other countries across the globe due to flashy cars and Golden Arches found in the modern era. Laos has also undergone certain sweeping changes and fast development across the region. As with the entire South East Asia, foreign investment, specifically from China, has a profound impact on the landscape and economy of the country. Towns that were sleepy rural villages like the evolving Vang Vieng…
Volcanoes You Have To See To Believe
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…
