Seychelles, an Introduction
Warm tropical waters - aquamarine colors layer, upon layer - clear waters and white warm and inviting sandy beaches. Perhaps those are the thoughts that come to mind when one mentions the Seychelles. Rightly so! However, geographically their location may be a bit hazy and one may grasp for their exact location. In fact these small islands are a part of Africa. The Seychelles are located about 1600 km east of Zanzibar and the Eastern African … [Read more...]
The Three Gili’s, Indonesia
Sometimes traveling slowly can be more enjoyable than the "preferred", faster transportation. During our return trip to Gili (a series of islands located just off the northwest tip of Lombok, Indonesia) we meandered rather than take the Gili Cat, a brand new speed boat. We had more time to meet people and ultimately arrived in the Gili's after several days in Senggigi. Gili T seems so different compared to our time here in 2008. Is that why … [Read more...]
Combine vacations with Chichen Itza history, Guest post
For the past few decades, one of the leading destinations for Americans and Europeans wanting Mexico vacations has been Cancun.

But especially for travel writers - where one can easily be inspired to write by the natural beauty of this area. September is a good time to visit - many of the tourists have already left, leaving still warm weather and empty beaches for one to enjoy. Bring a lot of good books, browse the shops … [Read more...]

Tribute to the Olive
Since I am writing this from next to the beach in Vlore, Albania - truly the home to the olive - I thought it would be fitting to write about this historic tree. With some estimated 280,000 olive trees in Vlore, this city is really surrounded by the trees. The olive is native to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean such as this area - we are only some 70 odd kilometers as the seagull flies from the Italian shoreline - a country also home to … [Read more...]
