When In Brussels – The Top 10 Things To Do
TRY THE MANY DELIGHTS OF BRUSSELS ⇷☓⇸ One of my favourite European cities and also one of the small nations that help play a huge role within Europe and also the worlds history. Having been in both world wars, there is an endless supply of information, historic sites and places to visit to get your fix. Putting those heavy subjects aside, Brussels is also known for its delicious chocolate, strong beer and waffles which attract many travellers. However, if you put all that aside and delve a little deeper you will find that it has many medieval towns, historical sites and fun things to do that are worth searching for.…

The Top 10 Things To Do In Singapore
EXPLORING THIS INCREDIBLE CLEAN CITY ⇷☓⇸ Singapore is a beautiful cosmopolitan city that became one of the world’s leading economic centers in shipping and banking. This place is expensive by Southeast Asian standards with everything costing about double what it does elsewhere in the region. While most people come here for a couple of days just to “do” Singapore and check it off their bucket list, over the past few years, the city has shed some of its stuffy nature and become a much more fun city. I love this city and think it deserves longer than that. There’s a lot to do here from incredible tropical parks by the Malaysian…

The Top 10 Things To Do In Italy
DELVE INTO ITALYS HIDDEN DELIGHTS ⇷☓⇸ When it comes to Italy, the first and foremost thing that to comes to mind is: great food, beautiful countryside, fabulous wine, and a long history to make it an excellent country to visit. I fell in love with it the first time I went to visit and now I fall in love again every time I go. The rows of vineyards in Tuscany, the deep history of Florence, the ancient colosseums in Rome, the chilled out nature of Southern Italy, and the romantic canals in Venice all make the country irresistible. Italy leaves no one underwhelmed and, with so much to do and…

The Top 10 Things To Do In Thailand
HOME TO LEONARDO DICAPRIOS – ‘THE BEACH’ ⇷☓⇸ Thailand is definitely the travel hub of Southeast Asia. Most people coming into the region fly into Bangkok and make that their base for doing the circuit around Southeast Asia. With its beautiful beaches, party islands, lush jungles, world-class diving, delicious food, friendly locals and cheap prices, Thailand is by far my favorite country in the world! It’s an easy country to travel and you can meet a lot of other like minded people there. The country is a well-worn destination on the backpacking trail and everything is convenient and easy. However, there are still many off the beaten path destinations aways from the…

The Ultimate Guide To Fiji
PARADISE ON EARTH ⇷☓⇸ Fiji is a collection of volcanic islands spanning 1,600 kilometers in the South Pacific Ocean. The country is viewed as a far-off and exotic getaway, and rightly so. There are two main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and nearly 900 smaller islands and inlets. If you’re looking for privacy, chances are you’re sure to find a secluded spot somewhere in the country. Contrary to popular belief, a vacation here doesn’t need to break the bank. Yes, there are pricey resorts but there are also budget guesthouses. Inexpensive accommodation and food, combined with the fact most Pacific flights include a stopover here, makes the islands an…

Guide To The USA
TIME TO EXPLORE AMERICA! ⇷☓⇸ The United States isn’t a popular place for long-term budget travelers. I spent three weeks travelling through America and it wasnt the cheapest trip ive ever been on. Most people just come here for a short holiday and to visit one or two cities. After all, it’s a large country without a real tourist infrastructure or good cross-country transportation. Hostels really aren’t big in the United States, trains don’t go to a lot of places, and they don’t offer working holiday visas. Moreover, most round-the-world tickets only stop in L.A. or NYC. But the United States is a country that demands more time. There are lot of…

I made it my goal to visit every European city and I am slowly making my way through them and loving every minute of it. There are no age restrictions, anyone can enjoy it and will be one of the most memorable experiences people have in their lives. From beautiful Paris, to smoke filled coffeeshops in Amsterdam, to Oktoberfest, to the beaches of Greece, and the architecture in Barcelona there’s so much to see on the continent I couldn’t name it…

The Top 10 Places To Visit In Vietnam
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM! ⇷☓⇸ You’ve probably seen it in the background of countless war movies, but nothing can prepare you for the epic beauty of Vietnam. It is a very beautiful country, filled with delicious food and countless things to see and do. From the natural beauty of Marble Mountains and Halong Bay to the man-made artistry of the sacred temples and Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam has a lot to offer travellers. The country has suffered a long dark history of colonialism, communism, war, and poverty. You cannot escape learning about the horrid history whose effects are still visible on the faces, bodies the locals even today. Admittedly, it’s a…
