Visiting-the-Demilitarized-Zone-in-Korea Unless you have been living in a cave, you already know about North and South Korea. Well, why not visit the demilitarized zone between the two countries. Unique-Travel-Destinations If you love traveling, you will soon reach a point where you get tired of the usual travel destinations and tourist traps. Yes, some things need to be seen, but unique destinations will soon top your list of things to see. Summering-In-The-Winter-In-San-Diego For those of us that live in San Diego, we all know we have it lucky. If you are looking for a break from the winter months, you might consider a quick trip to San Diego. Backpackers-and-South-America From the peaks of the Andes to the steamy rainforest, hiking South America is unlike anything you have done before. If you are going to South America, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Campgrounds-in-Michigan While winters can be cold, Michigan has a great outdoors tradition in spring, summer and fall. A great way to experience this tradition is to try out the campgrounds in Michigan. Campgrounds-in-British-Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia is a beautiful city. That being said, you are really missing out if you do not leave the city and go stay at the wide variety of campgrounds in the area. Hiking-Down-South-In-California California has a lot to offer in the way of beaches, entertainment and such. Many people fail to realize there are tremendous hiking opportunities, particularly in the south. Advice-For-Backpackers-Going-To-Europe Backpack in hand, you are ready to head to Europe for some fun and sun. Here is some advice for backpackers from someone who has done it multiple times and made the mistakes. San-Diego-Beaches San Diego is offered up as a great destination for people looking to take a vacation on the beach. Here are some recommendations on San Diego beaches from a local. Some-Practical-Tips-on-Packing-For-Your-Trip Every year, millions of people take a break from the rat race by taking a trip. Unfortunately, most people pack much of the rat race and take it along with them! Visiting-Alaska-The-Domain-of-Mother-Nature These days, it seems like humans are everywhere. Finding an adventure is outright impossible. A visit to Alaska, however, will convince you there is still open space in the world. Khmer-Rouge-Prison-21-The-Chilling-High-School-In-Phnom-Pehn-Cambodia Most travel stories are of the happy-go-lucky variety. Every once in a while, however, one visits a place that evidences the vicious, dark side of mankind. Khmer Rouge Prison 21, known as Tuol Seng, is one such place. It is a stark reminder of the cruelties humanity can visit upon itself. Cambodia-Phnom-Penh-Angkor-Wat-Sihanoukville Cambodia is a land on the mend. From 1977 through 1980, the Khmer Rouge ruled the country, fanatics bent on genocide. Millions were killed and the period was put to film in the movie, “The Killing Fields.” Fortunately, those days are over and the country is becoming a tourist destination. Switzerland-Interlaken-Zurich-St.-Moritz-and-Geneva Switzerland is the land of skiing, chocolate and very private banking. Ah, but there is so much more to experience in the land of neutrality. Denmark-Copenhagen-Helsingor-and-Beverages Denmark is one of the hippest countries in Europe. Copenhagen is the center of activity with a lively evening scene, palaces and castles. France-at-200-kph-of-Grandmothers-Lyon-and-Rain In my teens, I traveled to France with my mother, father and grandmother for a month of sightseeing with a rental car. Michael Schumacher and Formula 1 have nothing on my father and our Opel rental car. Copenhagen-Of-Elephants-and-Ice-Rinks On my first visit to Denmark, I fell in love with the country and the city of Copenhagen. Contrary to my guidebook, you could see elephants and experience ice hockey in the dead of summer. France-Paris-and-Nice From beaches to the alps, France has a little of something for everyone. In this article, we take a look at Paris and the beach city of Nice. Portugal-Lisbon-Algarve-and-Lagos On the southwestern tip of continental Europe, Portugal is an old school country. In this article, we take a look at Lisbon, Lagos and the Algarve. Nearly-Broke-in-Nice-France I had been backpacking for three months around Europe and had reached my final destination of Nice. Too bad I had 10 days till my flight home and I was nearly broke! Lagos-Portugal-Casa-Rosa-and-Joes-Garage If you’re a budget traveler or backpacking Europe, Lagos is a cheap slice of paradise. Casa Rosa is the place for general sustenance, while Joe’s Garage is a place to let go. Lost-in-Lagos-Portugal Lagos is a small town in Portugal built on a large hill overlooking the Mediterranean Ocean. While its old world charm is evident during the day, it can be a real pain at night. The-Ultimate-Travelers-Day-Dream-Come-True More than a few times, I’ve caught myself sitting at work day dreaming about dropping everything and just jumping on a plane. In October of 2003, I did just that. Flying-Internationally-on-Chartered-Planes If you’re a budget traveler, chartered planes will cross your travel planning path at some point in time. The quality of charter flights can be both good and bad. Travel-to-Italy-Rome-and-Venice Where does one begin to start when discussing Italy. Well, if you intend to travel there, Rome and Venice are good places to start. Ya-Mule-Backpacking-in-Siena-Italy Ah, the glamour of backpacking through Europe. Of course, the glamour comes with a price as I found in Siena, Italy. Sweden-Travel-Stockholm-and-Karlskrona Known as the land of Vikings, Sweden is actually an odd mix of cosmopolitan cities and vast stretches of wide-open spaces. For budget travelers, Sweden is a bit expensive. Monaco-The-Wealthy-Conclave-of-Europe Perched over the Mediterranean Ocean, Monaco is a picturesque country. With very high prices, most travelers can only afford to spend one day in this conclave for the rich. Monte-Carlo-Paradise-of-a-Different-Sort Monte Carlo is the city of glitz and over the top indulgence. I had to see it for at least a day trip and ended up finding my food paradise. Romania-Bucharest-Dracula-and-Transylvania Mention Romania and people immediately think of Dracula and a mid-evil country. Recovering from years of economic misery, Romania is quickly becoming the hidden jewel of Eastern Europe. Venice-Italy-The-Bird-Lady Venice is an old and somewhat eccentric city in Italy. Built long ago on marshlands, I was surprised to find myself spending my first night in the city with the bird lady. Sihanoukville-Cambodia-Mother-Nature-Playing-Nightly Sihanoukville is a sleepy beach town in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. In December, the beach is a great place to watch Mother Nature do her thing in spectacular fashion. Ko-Chang-Thailand-Water-Festival-of-Loi-Kathong Thailand is a land of enchanting and exotic tastes for foreign visitors as I was to learn when I experienced the Water Festival of Loi Kathong on the island of Ko Chang. Cambodia-The-Blind-Masseuses Cambodia has seen far more than its fair share of tragedy and misery. The blind masseuses offer a glimpse of the true Cambodian heart and will to carry on. Spain-Madrid-Barcelona-and-Ibiza Spain is the land of romance and amazing oddities. From bullfights to Gaudi to partying the night away on Ibiza, travelers could easily spend a year exploring Spain. North-Spain-Santander-Zaragoza-and-Vigo Madrid and the attractions of southern Spain tend to get all of the attention. In the northern part of the country, Santander, Zargoza and Vigo are hidden gems. Old-Spanish-Charm-Valencia-Granada-and-Seville Much of Spain has undergone a modernization effort. Fortunately, cities such as Valencia, Granada and Seville retain much of their old world charm. France-Bordeaux-and-St.-Tropez France and Paris, Paris and France. You’ll have a great time exploring Paris, but you’ll miss places like Bordeaux and St. Tropez if you don’t get out of the city. Greenland-The-Misunderstood-Land-of-Intrigue Say “Greenland” and a traveler immediately thinks of a giant slab of ice. With attractions such as Disko Bay, Motzfeldt So Lake, and the hikes around Qaqortoq, Greenland is great for travelers looking for something off the beaten path. Halloween-In-Siberia-Sort-Of Live in another country and you’ll start to experience serious cultural differences. This is particularly true as I discovered with Halloween in Siberia. Costa-Rica-San-Jose-and-Tamarindo Over the last ten years, the reputation of Costa Rica as a travel destination has grown leaps and bounds. Good places to visit include San Jose and Tamarindo. Costa-Rica-Tales-of-the-Guaro Every country has a unique beverage it claims as its own. In Costa Rica, the beverage of choice is Guaro. Costa-Rica-VW-Vans-and-Crawling-Things For better or worse, man has tamed Mother Nature in many countries. My general impression is this isn’t the case in Costa Rica. Thailand-The-Land-of-Smiles-and-Cheap-Travel Thailand is known as the land of smiles, which is amazing considering the traffic jams in Bangkok. For budget travelers, Thailand simply can’t beat on price alone. Wat-Doi-Suthep-Chang-Mai-A-Not-So-Spiritual-Journey The Buddhist Temples in Thailand are simply impressive. This is particularly true of Wat Doi Suthep, the mountain temple outside Chang Mai. Thailand-Chang-Mai-and-the-Night-Market Chang Mai is the largest city in the north of Thailand and well worth a trip. In many ways, Chang Mai is similar to Bangkok, but without the mass of people.
