Travel Guides

It can be quite tricky traversing a car dominated city by bicycle, particularly when you need to travel an unknown route to a new destination. But the chances are, someone has cycled that way before you. I have discovered a website that makes it easy to show you the best possible way to your destination.

For those of you who are into cycling and would like to discover new routes and places in United States, Europe and other countries need to check out Bikely. A free web-service that allows you to browse bicycle routes that are shared by other cyclists from around the world.

Bikely allows you to browse up to 100,000 bicycle routes. You can even add yours if it isn’t mentioned on the website yet. To narrow down your search you can also search for bike trails by country, by specific location and filter results by length of the route.

Winter can be a great time to go away on holiday, especially if you are interested in winter sports, or are on a tight budget. You can get some great deals at top hotels and resorts during this time, as the ‘high’ season is over and many places reduce their rates and offer incentives to keep their business topped up over the winter.

If you like it hot, then there are still plenty of sunny destinations to escape to when the dreariness of the wet, cold weather of winter is getting you down. The Caribbean is a wonderful destination in the winter, the perfect tropical getaway, and if you want to escape the crowds then Anguilla is a lovely little island, with some exclusive luxury hotels and villas with fine dining restaurants. Dominica is also a wonderful island to visit in the Caribbean, a little cheaper than some of the more popular and more exclusive places, and has some dramatic and stunning landscapes such as green rainforests and thundering waterfalls.
