Arches, Doorways & Spices

MOROCCO | Mon, 10 Mar 2014 | By butterfly-freed | Views [2642]

Technically my one year of travelling is up, however since the original 360 days of adventure was reduced to 348 days, I feel justified that, after an 8 week hiatus back in a damp and grey England, the time has come to complete the original mission.... Read more >

The Big Durian

INDONESIA | Tue, 14 Oct 2014 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [2282]

As I stepped off the bus with my heavy bags, the searing heat and humidity bit hard! I had no clue where I was and I thought I was reasonably close to Amiel's flat but it turned out I was way off, and I was out of rupiah until I could get to an ATM. ... Read more >

Dragging an anchor proves I drag my knuckles.

AUSTRALIA | Thu, 12 Jan 2012 | By homeless_harry | Views [1698]

The following is an account so embarrassing, I would be better served by keeping it to myself had I not already shown how much delight I take in ridiculing myself. This was not a case of factory line idiocy. This was customised cretinism so creative it ... Read more >

Traveling in Peru

PERU | Wed, 30 Sep 2009 | By embtravelgirl | Views [1050]

Basically, it´s crazy.  The roads in cities are usually paved, at least the major ones, unless they´re stone. Some highways are paved, but a majority of the roads I´ve been on are dirt. Still better than some of the ones I drove on in Costa Rica though! One ... Read more >

Man it's crazy here in Luang Prabang! After a gorgeous two day boat trip along the mighty Mekong river (sore arse and sunburn to show for it) landed in LP, greeted by crazy arsed children throwing flour and water. It's the Buddhist lunar new year, Sonkran, ... Read more >

Walking Tallinn, Skype's Home

NETHERLANDS | Thu, 25 Aug 2016 | By kimswim | Views [591]

Cao Dai Temple & Cu Chi Tunnels

VIETNAM | Thu, 24 Mar 2011 | By tweber | Views [589]

Wednesday, I took a tour to the Cao Dai Temple and the Cu Chi tunnels.   It was quite a contrast to go to the temple in the morning and then the tunnels in the afternoon, but they do that due to proximity of each other.   The Cao Dai temple ... Read more >

CANADA | Sat, 20 Sep 2008 | By missv | Views [585] | Comments [2]

One of the first things you notice about Nelson House is the large number of dogs.  In Toronto, most dogs are pets that are well taken care of by their owners, but in NH, most dogs are semi-wild; they don't have owners and must scavenge for food.   ... Read more >

Day 96 - Puerto Viejo

COSTA RICA | Thu, 4 Sep 2014 | By kikkijayne | Views [449]

Survived a slow short hot runs long the coast to kickstart the day. Was hardly enough to reverse all my indulgence but a token effort is something right? We met up with Becky, our British friend from El Salvador and hired out bikes for the day. First ... Read more >

NEW ZEALAND | Thu, 3 Jan 2013 | By cjfkhj | Views [431] | Comments [1]
