There is a magical place deep in the wilderness of Swedish Lapland, just a stone’s throw from the Arctic Circle, where grown-ups can fulfill their childhood dream of living in a tree house.

Welcome to the Treehotel, where the dreams of your youth come true.Continue
The giant redwood.

When visiting Costa Rica, certain images come to mind: thick, verdant forests, jungle canopies bathed in green, colorful quetzals with giant tails and hundreds of animal species lurking just beyond sight.
These images come to life in Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde.
And these real-life images – coupled with one of Costa Rica’s most impressive cloud forests off in the distance – make Monteverde a true must-see in Central America.
But don’t take our word for it.
Newsweek magazine included Monteverde on their list of 100 Places to Remember Before They Disappear, while National Geographic called it the “jewel in the crown of cloud forest reserves.”
Indeed.
Its name translates to “Green Mountain”, a fitting name thanks largely to the omnipresent clouds produced when warm coastal breezes cool inland. All this moisture provides explosive growth to over 2,500 species of plants and animals within the park, including jaguars, ocelots, tapirs, over 400 species of bird and hundreds of orchid species.
Don’t be fooled: Wells Gray Provincial Park is just as good as – and maybe better than – its Rocky Mountain neighbors to the east. Hard to believe? It’s undoubtedly more wild, with many of its peaks remaining unclimbed (and for that matter, unnamed).
Wildlife viewing is extremely common in Wells Gray. Black bears, grizzlies, timber wolves, martens, beavers and wolverines have all been spotted. But what really sets Wells Gray apart is its incredible hiking opportunities; in fact, there are over 155 miles (250 km) of hiking trails.
Which should keep you busy.Continue

Listen. Do you hear that? The cars…. or shall I say, the absence of cars. Mackinac Island is a perfect getaway for anyone needing to escape the hustle and bustle of work, city life, and traffic as no motorized vehicles are allowed on the island.
Yep, you heard it right. No vehicles (with the exception of handicap vehicle, of course).
Just imagine walking, biking or hearing the click-clock of horses strolling through town. Say goodbye to stress and hello to peace and quiet on Mackinac Island where Lake Huron meets Lake Michigan. Continue
Why is a barefoot walk on the beach is so satisfying?
As a kid, wasn’t it fun to run through the grass with reckless abandon, shoes and socks left in the dust?
Barefoot Parks offer a return to innocence, creating a childlike buoyancy in your step. They give you the feeling of (re)connection to nature, a return to our ancient roots and the simple joy of country living.
You love to ride bicycles, European history and to travel. Man have you come to the right place! There are many places a guy (or gal) on two wheels can venture to, but few offer the rich historical experience and visual wonders of The Danube Bike Trail.
With its source in the Black Forest of Germany, The Danube, Europe’s longest river (not counting Russia’s Volga River), winds its way east towards the Danube Delta and after 1,785 miles (2,872km) spills into the Black Sea coast in the Ukraine.
Along the way it goes through (at least in part) some of the following nine countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine. It also has the distinction of being the only river in the world to pass through four capital cities: Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest.
Easily the best reason to visit Vancouver Island, Pacific Rim National Park serves up some of North America’s most incredible scenery: a mixture of rainforest, coastline vistas, mountains and rocky beaches can all be seen here in just a few day.
Hiking trails run south from Tofino to Port Renfrew. There are three distinctly different areas:
Regardless of where you choose to visit, whale watching and surfing are popular activities. Consider making Tofino – located at the northern section of Long Beach – your base for exploring outlying areas.
