I wished I had known about this Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium, before it occurred, so I could have informed you of it and you had the option to go and see it. The Festival lasts for four days and is held at the end of January. It is one of the biggest light events in Europe and it may be something to keep in mind for next year. This year's theme was happiness and music and out of the 29

There is no doubt in my mind that you take lots of pictures with your mobile phone while being on vacation and you probably like to share them with family and friends as quickly as possible.

The Explorant, Overland Hotel in Brazil may be a rather unusual combination of travel and accommodations, but it offers you a unique opportunity and experience you don't want to miss out on. As far as prices go; the trips are very affordable and you can already take one in the price range from $40 to $60 per day, which usually includes meals. When opting for the lowest price, you are expected to

It may not be a bad idea to have some extra cash on you when you plan on visiting areas which are foreign and sometimes even remote. Although most of the businesses and stores all over the world are updated concerning accepting credit cards, there are still retailers, even in the U.S., who don't have credit card processing services and rather see the color of your money. Even though it doesn't

Here is one for the road and you can take that literally; the Exploranter, Overland Hotel in Brazil, South America. The inspiration came from overland expedition trucks taking tourists on safari camping trips across Africa for a long time now and this hotel consists of a 25-ton truck and trailer which is converted into accommodations on wheels and takes you sightseeing to places in South America

When you get in your car you don't worry about what is under the hood; you just expect it to run and take you where you want and/or need to go. Therefore, you may not be aware of the high quality of o-rings delivered by Parco to the motor vehicle manufacturers and which are used to ensure safe performance and high volume production capabilities. When it comes to fuel-dispensing, consistent high

You certainly don't have to be bored while staying in Aspen, Colorado. If you are then it is by your own choice, because there are plenty of dining opportunities and a vibrant nightlife is pretty much a given, but you will also encounter lots of art, culture, history, and let's not forget all the many shops. Whatever your preference is; Aspen pretty much has got it. At this height, the weather

When you are on the road and/or are exploring and discovering exciting, new places, the likelihood of getting sick is always real and present.

One of the most famous destinations to spend an extravagant winter vacation is Aspen which can be found at the upper end of the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. At a height of around 8,000 feet, it is one out of the four ski areas in the valley. Its history dates back to 1879, when a group of silver miners remained here in spite of an up-rise of the Ute Indians and named this mountain town Ute

Pleasant memories of a vacation taken in the past will often surface when you smell the fragrant aroma of a spice or herb which is linked to it. When you get a whiff of it, it suddenly takes you right back to that enjoyable, cherished moment. You don't have to contend with those sparse moments, but can dwell there

This incredible, 97 feet tall tree house can be found in Crossville, Tennessee, and is hard to overlook, but worthy of a visit. It is said to be the largest tree house in the world and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't; it has 10 stories and encloses a space of around 8,000 to 10,000 square feet and is built mainly by using recycled wood. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommendable, because

This post brought to you by Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine. Not everyone is excited about traveling and spending time in a new environment, even if it is just for a relatively short period.

On the east side of Grand Lake in Colorado you can admire the beauty of the Adams Falls waterfall and don't ignore taking a stroll along the rustic Grand Lake Boardwalk where you will find western architecture, shops, restaurants, galleries and bars galore.

It may not feel like it, but summer is not too far away anymore and you may want to look into destinations where best to spend your vacation. Grand Lake in Colorado, located in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and near the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, would be a good place to relax and rejuvenate. Being the deepest and largest natural lake, Grand Lake is home to a wide variety of

Near these beautiful Sunset Cliffs, you will also find Sunset Cliffs Natural Park close by. This shoreline park is open to the public and offers many cliff-side trails. However, it is not recommended to bring young children and being cautious is of the highest priority, since access to the beaches is limited, often undeveloped and crumbly, steep, and many paths are not very defined. This is

Guest post from: Bruno Smith My daughter is a college freshman this year. She is planning to go on a spring break trip to Florida with a bunch of her girlfriends. I am really worried about her starting to go off on trips without any parents or any “adult” presence with her. Granted, she is an adult legally, but there are just so many things that can happen. It is really hard to let a child

Just imagine walking, biking, or jogging along the Sunset Cliffs of San Diego, California, with bluffs that drop sheer into the Pacific Ocean. When surfing or cruising along the coastline, you can admire these majestic, sandstone cliffs in all their glory, but for how long? Yes, these 68 acres of cliffs are in danger of disappearing. Due to runoff from development and irrigation, they are

In spite of the economy being in such a bad shape, I noticed how so many new businesses are being started and are coming up and it made me wonder how that was possible. I can imagine that right of the bat any aspiring entrepreneur would need quite some substantial start-up money getting the enterprise off the ground. Since practically everyone is scraping by, that is not an easy thing to do

When you decide to stay at the Oregon Trail Wagon Train Campground in Bayard, Nebraska, you have another option to explore the area and that is through a Wagon Trek. You can really soak up the history and life of those pioneers by filling their shoes for 24 hours of being out and about on the Nebraska prairies as part of wagon train. These Wagon Treks are held during the months of June, July and

With so many beautiful and interesting places to visit and explore it would probably take an entire lifetime and then some, to see them all. Some of them are scattered all over the globe, but many of them can be found in the Middle East.

A cheap, but wonderful camp site can be found at the Oregon Trail Wagon Train Campground in Bayard, Nebraska. It is an ideal place for parking your RV or pitching your tent at one of the 10 available spaces. These pull-through, well situated sites located at the base of famous Chimney Rock, come with full hook-ups for RVs and cost just $20 per night, while you pay only $10 for a spot to set up

When you find yourself in the position where you have some time on your hands then taking a drive and exploring your own neighborhood is an excellent way of making new discoveries and staying updated on all the new developments in your area. We do that quite often and it used to be a pleasant pastime, but it has become rather disturbing, seeing all those many foreclosures along the route. It is

The activities at the Poseidon Resort on Fiji, Bahamas, are conform to the expectations you would have from this luxurious underwater resort: you can learn to pilot a submarine, take part in deep reef excursions or explore the abyss in one of the submarines and/or scuba dive or follow a quick course.
