As our plane descends over Zanzibar Island, my son is just SO excited! He loves the East Coast of Africa, and it has been 18 months since we first discovered it for ourselves. Now, after just finishing our time in Jordan, we will have time to slow down a little. It had taken nearly 24 […]
In 2014 we discovered the Bulgarian ski slopes, and we fell in love. Nestled in the outer area of Bansko, this resort faced the Pirin Mountain range, and it wasn’t just the area we fell in love with, but more so where we stayed. Premier Luxury Mountain Resort is probably one of the loveliest places we […]
I’m in my fluffy toweling robe and I’m ready to go. After a hectic day of ski lessons, my body needs some pampering. I was thankful I’d made an appointment that morning with Aegeo SPAS since I really needed some relaxing massage. Their Wellness and Beauty Centre at this Small Luxury Hotel takes up a major […]
Two years ago Explorason and I went to enter the country of Macedonia in our UK registered vehicle, but when we passed the second border check they tried to charge us an incredible amount for the vehicle to enter, so we had to turn around and leave, and we went to Kosovo instead. Having now […]
We’ve been traveling the world now for over four years, and since 2014 there have been a couple of items that have traveled the world with us. These are our Coco-Mat Aromatherapy Pillow-sachets. Lavender-filled little flat cotton bags go under our pillows and give us each a relaxing night’s sleep. Since they originate from Athens […]
We all know recycling is important, but when we entered the NEW Hotel in Athens Greece, we were shocked as they have taken recycling to a whole new level. Why? Because the walls, as well as a lot of the furniture and fixtures, are made from the antique and ancient wood that they were scrapping […]
As the snow forms a white blanket and lays softly on the grassy roadside edges, I gaze out of the window and realize that I am experiencing a dream come true. Just over two years ago we visited Meteora in October of 2014, and I have always wanted to return to see it when it […]
Malta is probably the most colorful island I have visited on my world travels. I was mesmerized by the bold and bright colors against the white limestone. If you are a budding photographer or if photography is your passion, then I’d love to suggest you book a trip to Malta. We’ve just spent one whole […]
It’s my birthday – I can’t believe I am turning 55. How did that happen? I really don’t know, but I want to celebrate it in a new country, with new memories to start a new year, so we chose the tiny islands of Malta as country 69 on our world trip. And OH MY […]
As our South Italy train slowly comes to a halt in the Naples Central Station, we can almost smell the aroma of pizza, mixed with the musty smell of old decaying buildings, as the worn and damaged cobblestone paths dipped and fell under our feet. The air is filled with mystery as Napoli, as it […]
We knew a person once who went on and on about Cinque Terre, Italy. She had read the book ‘One Thousand Places To See Before You Die’, and had added Cinque Terre to her bucket list, but is Cinque Terre on your bucket list? Read on ….. She visited in summer and told us how the […]
“So do you know the list of the smallest countries in the world” I am asked? Let me see … ” 1. Vatican City, 2. Monaco, 3. Nauru, 4. Tuvalu, and 5. San Marino”… Our World Country Count As Explorason is country counting on our world trip, San Marino for us also becomes the 69th […]
