Step into Puerto Rico, the wonderful Caribbean vacation spot that has become the ultimate mix between the island getaway, and the traditional American holiday. Every year millions of people travel to its shores, looking for a memorable, relaxing vacation, and they are never disappointed. There is nowhere better to find a peaceful, lovely beach experience, and there are plenty of other attractions that will keep you occupied, and entertained, whether you are a young couple looking to spend their honeymoon in romantic bliss, a bustling family wanting to have some fun in the sun, or a student, taking a trip before term begins, and you have to hit the books once again.

San Francisco, one of the most popular travel destinations in the Western United States. Not only does it have fantastic weather, a glamorous celebrity life, and an active community for Gay Pride, but it is also ripe with entertainment venues, and things to see. There are so many attractions in San Francisco, that it is hard to know where to begin when compiling a list of the best.

But I did my best, and while anyone who has been to this fantastic city in California will have their own locations that they label ‘must see’s’, here are a few of my own all time favorite attractions in San Francisco, and each one is, in my opinion, crucial to any tourist’s itinerary.

Travelling for pleasure is just one kind of travel that one sees today. There are many people who travel to specific places to make use of the relatively cheap medical facilities that are available. Take for instance the case of patients with a rheumatism or arthritis problem. They are keen that the medical help that they seek involves something that is inexpensive but effective at the same time. They know that the hospitals that they go to are not going to be cheap at all. So, they opt for another country where medical facilities are relatively cheaper.

This kind of travel is also referred to as health tourism or health travel. People shop around for the right kind of treatment for their ailments and are prepared to go out of the country for the treatment that they think will put their bodies back to normal. A person with a severe back pain has only two or three options to get rid of the pain. One is to be on painkillers from now till eternity, the other is to go in for some physiotherapy and the third is to think of an alternative form of medicine.

I never thought I’d actually be thanking the crappy economy for anything but when it comes to European travel I can’t help but shout “THANK YOU!” The dollar isn’t faring as poorly against other currencies as it was at this time last year and that combined with sinking air fares, a European vacation isn’t out of the realm of possibility after all. The true trick is keeping things cheap once you arrive. Hotels, transportation, cost of food and shopping all make for an expensive trip, so what is your remedy? How do you travel economically across Europe? By backpacking and camping, of course! Not only will you save money and still have a great time, but you’ll also learn a thing or two about packing light. Now, where do we start? How about with the basics!

What Do I Pack?

In the city of Bangkok there are so many things that seem to contrast with one another. On one side you can see the beautiful palaces and temples with their ornate towers and architecture. You can also see a few places that seem to be alien to our idea of what we think Bangkok is – the living quarters of those who are economically deprived. The third front shows you how the whole city is developing with its incredibly tall skyscrapers and its futuristic buildings. The contrast is quite stark leaving us wondering which one is the actual face of Bangkok.
