Have you ever wanted to know where Russian Billionaire’s spend their holidays?
The answer is Crimea Ukraine’s diamond shaped peninsula with an island like feel in the Black Sea.
There is no wonder why they come here to relax.
Stunning mountains, warm waters and long summers make it heaven on earth. Continue
Liechtenstein is one of those rare countries in the world that you could pass right through it without even noticing. But not because it isn’t beautiful. It’s actually a country with incredible and unspoiled alpine scenery. Yet, it doesn’t have a noticeable border and it’s tiny.
So small you could walk across it in several hours. Which is exactly what you should do.Continue
The birthplace of Napoleon has a chip on its shoulder.
Its magnificent mountains cover two-thirds of the island and seem to be posturing in defiance as if to say “Who dares trample over my peaks and plateaus?”
While it’s not overwhelmingly tall, it’s terrain is notoriously grueling to cover, making it one of the greatest hikes in Europe.Continue
Imagine stepping foot on 2,000 year old crumbling ramparts that stretch 5,000 miles (8,000 km) into the distance. Taking a walk on the Great Wall of China features high on most people’s list of 1,001 things to do before they die. And satisfying that dream by visiting the world’s longest man-made structure rarely disappoints. Continue
Luxemburg is impossibly beautiful. Starting in the capital city and radiating out in all directions, it gives the visitor a feeling of being in a fantasy world where river nymphs and fairies can found not far from where cupid and his well aimed arrows are waiting in the trees.
Nowhere is this feeling more prevalent than in the Mullerthal Region, a place they call “Little Switzerland,” and a spot that is just magic. Continue
Oh? You’ve been to the Grand Canyon, eh?
Pretty big, you say?
Hardly.
Colca Canyon in Peru positively dwarfs the Grand Canyon. In fact, with depths reaching 3,400m (11,150 ft.) it is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon.Continue
It rises like an iceberg from the desert. Uluru - also known as Ayers Rock - is a giant rock monolith located in central Australia, and while it stands an impressive 1,141 feet (348m), most of the rock’s weight remains below ground.
Sure, you’ve probably seen pictures of Uluru, but nothing prepares you for seeing it in person. Surrounded by a sand plain, Uluru dominates the scenery.
Getting there and around is almost as impressive. Walking tours, aboriginal guides, camel rides, bush planes and helicopter tours are all available. Heck, you can even ride on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
No matter which way you choose, be sure to spend a few days exploring the surrounding area. Two worthwhile destinations are Kata Tjuta (a vast collection of steep rock domes, thought to be over 500 million years old) and Watarrka National Park, which includes a number of hiking trails, desert views and sheer sandstone walls (some of which stand nearly 1,000 ft/300m).

It’s not quite French and not entirely Spanish. Strangely, it is ruled by both. One thing is abundantly clear, Andorra is a beautiful mountainous country covering a tiny area you could drive through in less than an hour. In this compact space, Andorra offers some of the best hiking and climbing in Europe, chalked full of extensive trails and spectacular views.
One look and it’s not hard to see why Andorra is a trekkers paradise.Continue
Great tourist destinations are able to shine from every possible angle. One way to tell if a destination shines from every angle is if you can view it from land, sea and air. Antigua and Barbuda facilitate land, sea and air tours, which provide glimpses into the islands historic significance and natural beauty.
When seeking panoramic views of Antigua, flying in the air via helicopter is the best way to go. Due to Antigua’s small size, all aerial tours available on the island are helicopter rides. Antigua is only 13 miles wide, but it consists of multiple coves, inlets and pink-sanded beaches for you to view. The islands’ helicopter tours are typically 20 to 45 minutes long.Continue
Do you know Alodous Huxley?
The guy who wrote Brave New World?
Anyways… Huxley worked with words, but he also traveled extensively (and published several fine travel books, including Along The Road: Notes and Essays of a Tourist) and… he said that Lago de Atitlán was… without a doubt… the “most beautiful lake in the world.”
A bold statement, indeed. But once you set eyes on this, it’s hard to deny Lago de Atitlán’s appeal… Continue
The dark past of Puerta Del Diablo doesn’t stop the tourists calling.
Located in Los Planes De Renderos, Puerto Del Diablo, better known as the Devil’s Door, comprises two striking boulders that reach for the sky. Take a peek between them and you’ll see that they serve as a window to the sights of El Salvador, the panoramas sprawling out to the Pacific coast and beyond.Continue
You’ve been to the Grand Canyon.
You’ve hiked to the top of Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park and trekked along the rim of Bryce Canyon.
You’ve even camped in Monument Valley and placed a body part in each state at the Four Corners Monument.
Yet, you haven’t done it all. Not even close.
There are many breathtaking places in the American Southwest, yet there is one unique and sacred spot that seems to mesmerize visitors more than any other.
A dangerous place where you can’t stay long, because the threat of death is just too great. Continue
Would you rather spend your vacation well sauced by excellent Czech pilsner in highly urbanized cities or sip on fine wines in the peaceful countryside? This is the question one needs to answer when coming to the Czech Republic… should I visit Bohemia or Moravia? If wine and a walk in the park is what you’re after, read on…
Didn’t anyone tell you?
Serbia is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe.
With five national parks, numerous mountain ranges, endless vineyards and delightful cities and villages, Serbia is a joy from border to border. What stands out in a country full of attractive sites? One place has an incomparable beauty that will make you feel like you have entered the Garden of Eden. Continue
You’ll recognize it immediately. The two-lane road with a broken yellow stripe down the middle is straight as an arrow. It disappears on the horizon as if it has been swallowed by the crested buttes rising in the distance. You swear you have seen this surreal scenery before, but where?
It’s only later you realize it’s one of the world’s most photographed places, an iconic image of the American Southwest that is haunting and spellbinding. A place that draws you into its vast desert space to speak to your soul.Continue
Located 28 miles (45km) southwest of Guatemala City, Volcán de Pacaya is a highly active volcano. Standing at an impressive height of 8,372 feet (2252 m), Volcán de Pacaya frequently spews molten lava, rock and ash into the sky. It’s without a doubt one of the most active (and therefore exhilarating) volcanoes in all of Central America. The best time to view the volcano is at night, when bright orange lava lights up against the night sky.
Volcán de Pacaya first erupted over 23,000 years ago, and has erupted at least 23 times since the Spanish colonized Guatemala. It remained dormant for over a century, then erupted unexpectedly in 1965. It continues to this day. Continue
Tradition is often compromised to make way for modern developments.
The old ways are beat out by the easiest ways.
And yet when we reflect on the loss of our culture, we do so as though it weren’t our duty to preserve it.
Now, in the age of technology, travelers are drawn to historic sites. But seldom do we see historic practices that are still being upheld today, practices such as cultivating rice at the Ifugao Rice Terraces.Continue
It’s like the surface of Venus, barren and haunting.
Even the most resilient plants and animals can’t live there. It’s a snow white wasteland of salt and sky covering a vast area of northwestern Utah. Adding to the eerie atmosphere is the utterly flat and smooth landscape, so flat that they say you can see the Earth’s curvature.
Is it true?
You will have to see for yourself…Continue
Putting in an effort to achieve a goal tends to make the results all the more satisfying. Such is certainly the case with a hike up to the top of Masada. The ancient ruins and the view across the desert are worth all the sweat and aches of ascension.
Masada stands at only 190 feet (58m) above sea level, however the base of the mountain is below sea level so numbers are slightly deceiving.Continue
