Travel Guides

If you are having an Ireland holiday and only having a day in Dublin before heading to the countryside, then we suggest that you enjoy the city by walking through its streets. You might not be able to cover all the must see spots but this will be a good start.

Start your walking tour at the ivy-covered Trinity College and see their Old Library. The library can give you a glimpse of Ireland’s history and you can find whatever you want to know by browsing through their vast collection of literature.Head to the City Hall along Dame Street. The best thing to do here is go under the dome of the lobby, and look up. You will find the artwork worth straining the muscles of your neck.
On the riverside of Dame Street, you will find Temple Bar. This is the center of night life where you can find the coolest bars, pubs, and discos. If you want some alcohol this is the place to be. You can also find great finds in some of the shops nearby.

When you go to Victoria, British Columbia, you will be in awe of their very beautiful gardens. Remember though that there is more to Victoria than just sites, the food scene is bursting and you may want to enjoy the best of seafood this corner of the globe.
We can recommend our top picks so you can dine like a royalty while having your Victoria, B.C. holiday:

Wharfside Eatery It might have a touristy impression because of its location at the inner harbor but they serve the greatest local food you can find in B.C. You will love their Oysters Rockefeller sinfully sautéed in garlic, spinach and Italian bacon. Another don’t-miss-this-dish is the Alaskan Jumbo Scallops which are hugged by tasty bacon with a dash of sauce made with tomato and cream.

As if we could write about Hawaii and not talk about it’s fantastic beaches. Hawaii sports countless world famous beaches, and for good reason: Hawaii’s beaches are gorgeous! Whether you’re just relaxing on the sand or scouring the planet for the best waves, Hawaii’s sure to have a beach for you.

If you want a more relaxed beach, here’s some great spots for you:

Sandy Beach (Sandy’s)/Makapu’u – Two of the favorite local beaches, with great bodysurfing at both. However, unless you are actually body surfing or surfing, don’t enter the water as it’s deceivingly dangerous in terms of both the break and the current. But you will see tons of locals getting some sun if it’s out, and the beaches themselves are quite nice.

For the uninitiated, capsule hotels are hotels which resemble well, capsules. They are small, with limited facilities and yet desired by those travelers who are on a shoestring budget when visiting Japans. Also great for otakus, or Japanese fanboys, who are strapped for cash as the night before they attend huge conventions in the heart of Tokyo or any other city in the Land of the Rising Sun. Don’t be intimidated if you are planning to stay in one during your sojourn in Japan, check out some tricks and tips we prepared.

1. Counter your claustrophobia
Capsule hotels are cheap, but it comes with some setbacks and one of the major disadvantages include claustrophobia. Those who suffer from this condition should stay away from capsule hotels and bunk in with their friends in Japan or pay more for a budget hotel. For travelers who are slightly uncomfortable with tight spaces, it pays to focus on the task at hand when you’re in your cabin, and that is by sleeping the night away.

It is winter, and you have perhaps a deep nostalgy for the snow from your childhood. You would like to feel them again, but unfortunately, due to climate changes, those snows are not falling anymore at your place. The solutions would be to go far away and seeking for the snow, whether in the mountains or toward North Pole.
It is winter and you are in the mood for falling in love. You only need to find the right person and and the right place.
About the person, I can’t be very useful to you, but about the places, I can recommend to you some wonderful ones.

1. Stockholm is always worth for a visit, but specially in winter. It is white, it is magic, it is quite special, and also has those endless nights (think to Aurora Borealis, please). The Swedish girls are quite O.K., they are cultivated, refined and speak foreign languages. What could be nicer? Stockholm really seems to be a paradise on Earth. It is by far one one of the world’s cleanest cities: one third of Stockholm consists on water, and one third on parks and forests.

Traveling on a shoestring budget is great but sometimes, you feel the urge to splurge when you see how living in the lap of luxurious can give one so much pleasure. You don’t need to scrimp when you order at a classy restaurant and neither would you need to think twice before booking a suite at a luxury hotel. I would suggest balancing it out with your budget and see if it is feasible to travel in style based on your desired holiday destination. Take Malaysia for example. It’s an affordable place to travel so if you feel like splurging on luxury hotel stays, THIS is the place!

When people think of Hawaii, they often think of the beautiful beaches, the great landscape, and the fantastic people. However, central to Hawaiian culture is cuisine. The people of Hawaii love food, whether it’s a simple plate lunch or an extravagant luau. They have created many delicious dishes that they can truly call their own, like poke, a raw dish featuring cubed tuna, and lau lau, a pork and butterfish creation steamed in taro leaf. While you’re in Hawaii, you’d be doing yourself a disservice not checking out your fantastic food options. While you’re in Hawaii, here’s some places you should check out, both large and small, fine dining and not.

Waiola’s – A must go to location; practically a destination. Get shave ice (do not say shaved ice unless you want to be berated senselessly) with ice cream on the bottom after you’ve spent a day out on the beach or hiking Diamond Head and are really hot. They also serve beer, if shave ice and beer is your thing.

Seeing how the President of United States Barrack Obama himself recently visited the Great Wall of China, we think it’s a matter of time before people would be scrambling to scale the great structure all over again. Here are some survival tips you can take note of before climbing this majestic wall, one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

1. Be fit, be very fit
Let’s face it. The wall measures 8,851.8 km but it is unlikely that you will be scaling the walls the entire length! Moreover scientists and historians have concluded that there are hidden sections of the wall yet to be discovered so be sure to keep an open eye for something off the beaten tracks. However, you still need to maintain a good healthy body before you embark on a quest to conquer the Great Wall of China.
