Adrenaline Activities - For The Thrill Seeking Junkies

Many people turn to activities such as snowboarding, skiing, bungee jumping and rock climbing to get their thrills. Although these types of activities do create an adrenaline rush, there are some even more extreme activities that can have any person’s heart beating and blood pumping than hanging out at val thorens accommodation every year. Beware though, these can also be dangerous.

Bull Running

This is a type of holiday that is a favorite for any type of adrenaline junkie. It More

Thrill Seeker Holidays in the Alps

What better to way to spend an action-packed holiday that in the European Alps, a stunning mountain range that offers all kind of challenges from bungee-jumping, to skiing, to white water rafting.

Skiing in the Alps

The skiing season in the Alps lasts for several months a year, typically beginning in the autumn and lasting until late spring. Conditions are usually excellent and due to the high elevation of the Alps snow cover persists for much of the year. The More

Customs and Immigration: What a Pain!

For those of us that love to travel, there are a select group of people that try to make our lives that much harder and try to ruin a trip before it has even begun and those people are the border services officers. I know they have a job to do and I know they are trying to find out if you have any illegal activities planned or if you are planning to illegally immigrate. However, sometimes they are just More

My Alaskan Adventure

There are few places left on earth that are as beautiful and pristine as Alaska. Civilization has taken its toll, of course, and yet, the land is still remarkably untouched. It was always my dream to visit Alaska and when the opportunity presented itself, I was ready.

I went there in the month of August because I figured that I would not be able to endure the extreme cold of the winter season. My flight was from Houston, Texas. It More

See you in Siem Reap

Siem Reap in Cambodia is well and truly on the mass tourist trail. Getting that perfect travel photo of the major temples such as Angkor Wat or the Bayon often involves sharing your frame of the majestic half smile sculpture of King Jayvarman VII with the hoards of tourists who arrive en-masse on their air conditioned coaches. Trust me, these are photos that will end up on the shelves, not your storage unit on the other side of time. Tourists More

Camping is Awesome

Some of the fondest memories I have from my childhood are the camping trips my father would take me and my brother on to Scotland or North Western England. I loved camping because I love nature. Getting back to nature is a stress relieving and relaxing way to live for a few days. I am one of those campers who prefers to be in a tent. It feels more like true camping than being in a caravan, although on wet, More

Dubrovnik; the Pearl of the Adriatic.

Last year several of us were contemplating where to go on holiday to relax in the sun. The obvious destinations came up, such as the Algarve in Portugal, the many Costas of Spain and, of course, Italy. Whilst these places are great (if you can find somewhere off the beaten track, as I dislike tourists) we felt we had seen it all before on previous excursions to continental Europe.

Where we had not been before started to become the topic More

Taking the overnight train

Only recently, I visited Europe, where I stayed briefly in Germany, Italy, and France. I only had a few days in each country, and I figured that one way of saving a bit of time (and money) while traveling between countries was to take the overnight train. After all, I had to pay for somewhere to sleep, anyway, and European accommodation is hideously expensive, so I might as well travel and sleep at the same time. The whole train traveling More

Sunny Perth and surrounds

Australia is definitely a place that comes to mind when sunny destinations are mentioned, but if you plan to travel there, bear in mind that Australia is an extremely large country with a variety of different weather zones. Some places, such as Brisbane and Darwin, are warmer than southern cities such as Melbourne and Hobart. However, when looking for sunny places to visit, make sure you don’t overlook the Western Australian capital of Perth. Situated along the stunning Swan River, More
