Il y a des dizaines de millions d'années, la mer remontait jusqu'à Lyon en recouvrant toute la Provence. Beaucoup de trace de cette époque demeure sur le territoire du Verdon. Il est un vaste secteur naturel, situé au nord de la Provence entre les massifs préalpins et le bassin méditerranéen.

Un Parc régional  couvert à plus de 40% de forêt. Ses hautes et basses gorges s'étalent sur 21 kilomètres, les plus profondes d'Europe, un canyon unique qui n'est pas moins que…

The World is a landmark project for future eco-tourism projects worldwide. It is a collection of 300 manmade islands located off the Dubai coast, and created from sand scoured from the sea. The islands are shaped into various countries and continents, and an individual island can be shaped into an epitome of personal or corporate luxury. The private artificial islands are divided into four categories, such as private homes, dream resorts, estate homes and community…

Today, we celebrate 17 years on the road. Yes, it was on March 1, 1996 when Dan and I closed the door on our previous lifestyle and started anew. As we walked down the apartment steps for the last time...…

Suspended on cables gliding through the tops of giant tropical trees, amid hidden, dripping, hanging gardens full of plants and animals in the rainforest, is a pretty cool experience. Rainforest trees are tall, really tall, even towering up to more than 100 feet high. The microcosm of life happening at this level is abundant and amazing, and not often seen.

Searching for a hotel online is actually more complex than, say, searching for a flight or car rental or even Viagra. A hotel stay is more of an emotional experience than flying somewhere. To go from New York to London, is simply to find the most convenient, and best-priced flight.



Choosing a hotel  is choosing a home away from home. …

I never thought I’d go cross-country skiing again, but I went this morning. I tried cross-country skiing years ago, not out of desire but because it was a story assignment for a Tahoe weekly paper I worked on. If I recall, I spent most of my time that day in the snow. Not on it. And my take on the whole idea of cross-country skiing? Tougher than downhill skiing. Painful. Not worth it. Not by a long shot.



For a downhill skier, which is how I identified myself at the time,…

My playmate’s father walked with a stiff leg from the D-Day invasion of World War II. At the age of seven, we all knew the basics of what this meant – we also knew older kids still without fathers. We boys all talked about what our fathers had done in the recent war. Knowing these men puts faces on the deeds they did as exhibited by the National…

When it comes to exotic locations, Southeast Asia is one of the places to beat. It offers a wide range of things to see and experience, including beautiful beaches, rich culture and history, busy cities, and one of a kind natural wonders. Vietnam is one of the most famous choices as of late, though, as it has great offers for tourists, attracting more and more folks to travel to Vietnam.

You thought you could relax with the Western new year celebrations out of the way? Think again. The whole of Vietnam is now warming up for the Tet holidays -- noticed all those police stop points and fields full of lucky trees recently? If you're heading this way February 10 to 14 this year, consider what this will mean for your trip.

The whole country will be on a go-slow for at least a week either side; Vietnam becomes  gridlocked, garish and…

Dear Mom,

Thanks for ignoring me and thanks for not butting in to my life.  But mostly thanks for not contacting the Peruvian authorities while I was traveling during the US citizen kidnapping…

La encuesta reveló que existen tres focos principales de turismo en el país. De tal modo, Guanacaste, el Pacífico central y Puntarenas (con sus islas) son las áreas más apetecidas por los vacacionistas. En contraposición, las zonas las Llanuras del Norte, el Valle Central y el Caribe son visitadas con menor frecuencia por el turismo. Así, cualquier visitante extranjero puede aprovechar las zonas y momentos menos concurridos para planear su tiempo de ocio. En…

I watched the horse, as if  possessed by the devil, run at full speed, urged on by a charro (Mexico’s answer to the cowboy). It was useless though; there was no possible way out. The circular arena, called a lienzo, only allows for running in circles. Meanwhile, in the middle of the…
