Exploring the “dark” continent, its wildlife and its culture… or stepping back in the ancient history, the cradle of our civilization! Share your experiences!

Have you ever been sampling the mystifying culture and religions of the Asian people? Must have changed you…

Been there and done all the fantastic things you can do in this “new world”? Give us your outback stories!

The culture, the food, the music… did you do the salsa and if so, any tips on that?

Aaahhh… the old world! The excavations, the very old cultures, the kingdoms, the revolutions. And not forgetting the wonderful food and wine, of course. Any restaurants you can recommend?

Land of the vast plains, the buzzing cities, the canyons and what not. How did you travel around, or were you relaxing in just one spot? We want to know all about it!

So much to discover on this continent of contrasts! So rich of history and culture… Take us by the hand, please…

Not just for the connoisseurs amongst us. There are museums on literally anything in the world; you only have to know where to find them!

Already in the seventies of the former century it was the way to go. Still very popular amongst young travelers. Share your experiences and tips, or learn how to play this game.

City biking, mountain biking, racing bikes, motor bikes… Did you know you see a lot more of any city or country when you ride a bicycle?

Not something for every one of us, definitely. But if you have done it or wish to give it a go, this is the place to be!

Take a break and linger with your best friend or loved one in a beautiful city. Cities have their charm in any season, and you can tell us where to go…

Simple but comfortable, luxurious or just practical, any hotel has its pros and cons. And relaxing in a resort… well how did you like that?

Do you hunt with a rifle or a photo or video camera? Was the safari just what you expected or so much more? Show us your ‘wildest’ picture!

All hands on deck! How are your sea legs? Which ports of call did you visit? Gove us a sniff of the salty water and of you endeavors…

Downhill racing not your style? How about snowboarding or a quiet tour on skis through winter wonderland? Where is the après ski the best and the chances on snow the biggest?

Whether you have been scuba diving in the Red Sea, on the Great Barrier Reef or even snorkling in the Caribbean please feel free to share your adventures.

Pamper your spirit and your mind and teach yourself how to keep doing that at home. Which rituals do you like best, where should we go in times of spiritual need?

The freedom of travelling by car – as long as you have enough gas – and explore by yourself! Do you ever take hitch hikers or have you seen too many scary movies?

Don’t worry about the blisters and bring your ComPeed… Where is trekking the best and in what season and do you have any climbing experiences as well? Or is – hum – vertigo standing in your way?

The rush of adrenaline through your blood when you go through the rushes… Do you recall your very first time? If so, has it become better or was the first time also the best?

Every country has different standards for their zoos. Not always your standard, probably. Share with us what beautiful or outrageous zoos you saw… or which entertainment park you want to re-visit (if they cut out the long queues).

Interested in earning some extra cash while traveling, then we invite you to take a look at Holidays and Cash that offers you a Privilege Pack with access to travel discounts and real $ Cash Rewards.

Do you think it is necessary to take these insurances, or are they just a waste of money? If you take one, which company is recommendable?
