Worth the adventure
The blue city, like the red (Marakesh) and the white (Rabat) are places that really must be seen. Continue reading
Gorgeous islands and lovely people for a wonderful experience
What amazing architecture – and I mean well beyond the stereotypical “Scandinavian minimalism” that you see everywhere – and the people were sweet, kind and helpful. Continue reading
Costa Rei has the charm that Villasmius doesn’t because it’s small and quaint
When you only have so many days to explore, sometimes a little more money is worth the pain to your bank account so you might consider Costa Rei Continue reading
Lovely town that is probably the most “cosmopolitan” in Sardegna
Cagliari is probably the most metropolitan of the cities on Sardegna. But don’t come here looking for fantastic shopping, an abundance of ruins, or anything else of that nature; it’s the capital, and a port, and that’s it. Continue reading
As a stop-over, it’s not that bad
What an interesting place! This little city on a port really is just a stop-over for other locations on the island. It’s a shame as the people really are lovely and helpful but there isn’t a whole lot to do … Continue reading
Sant Tomas a small bit of peace and relaxation
For just a bit of relaxation and solitude, Menorca and Sant Tomas are your place. Unlike Ibiza and Majorca, this is all about the sun and rest. Continue reading
Zagreb, Croatia
With 2 full days, you can explore the many wonders of Zagreb and be completely satiated by the time you leave. People watching could add a third day, but the Croatian past-time of window shopping and looking for shoes can make this a bit of a challenge if the truth be told. Continue reading

Dubrovnik is a gorgeous place to visit but really is a tourist trap. That’s not saying you shouldn’t go, just understand what you are getting yourself in to before you go and everything will be good and you will have a wonderful experience. Continue reading

Melbourne, Australia
(Updated 03 August 2013) The Australians are truly some of the nicest, most accommodating, and most giving people I have ever met in all of my travels. Perhaps it’s just that large island in the middle of nowhere that is … Continue reading
Canakkale, Turkey
Canakkale is really an interesting little village right on the Dardanelles whose major claim to fame is Troy. As such, Canakkale is pretty much the only place to stay if you want to take a dolmus (really, a public mini … Continue reading
Selcuk, Turkey
Selcuk is an interesting place and one that is hard to recommend to be honest. If it weren’t for its proximity to Efes (Ephesus), I wouldn’t even recommend it. But because it is the closest place to stay for Efes, … Continue reading
Alacati, Turkey
Alacati is a small village a couple of kilometres from the beaches and don’t worry, you can do the walk with ease. Not only is the walk pleasant and you will see numerous summer houses, but it also gives you a bit of a push for the long day ahead of relaxing on the beach. Continue reading
