8 Getaways from Melbourne

by

I loved our time visiting Melbourne. It’s probably my favourite city in Australia, certainly the most liveable and if you spend a decent amount of time there you’ll soon see why it consistently ranks as the most liveable city in the world. Of course there’s the one obvious turn-off, you know, the crappy climate where it’s common to live through four ... (c) y Travel Blog - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

Eating my way through Chiavenna’s Bresaola Festival

by

Ask me to name the first Italian meals that come to mind and I’ll list off pizza, pasta, and risotto. Maybe veal parmigiana if you insist I include some meat in there. But bresaola? I had no idea what that was until I arrived in the town of Chiavenna. When I hopped on the train bound for the Italian Alps, all I knew was that there would be a food festival taking place. What kind of food? I wasn’t entirely sure. It wasn’t... (c) THAT BACKPACKER - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

You’ve been doing airports all wrong

The worst thing about going on holiday is, well, the going – traffic jams, suitcase slaloms, queues, more queues, other people. What if you could get that shoulder-loosening Smith-hotel feeling as soon as you left home? We tried Heathrow‘s star treatment… Let’s face it, until you do that victory face-plant onto your hotel bed, your holiday hasn’t begun. If you’re anything like me, the build-up usually involves playing Tube Tetris with your luggage, enacting full-body pat-downs every half ...

Easy Southern Escapes: Mobile, Alabama

by

Downtown Mobile/Tad Denson, MyShotz Mobile, Alabama was established in 1702 as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana. The city, only two hours and 20 minutes east of New Orleans, has much in common with The Big Easy — but also boasts a unique heritage of their own. Along with their French connection and the same explorer-founders, both Mobile and New Orleans are port cities with a similar military and maritime history, late-night drinking establishments, and a long and proud Mardi Gras history. But the delta, the bay, and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico have as ... (c) Shermans Travel Blog - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

Seasonal Showdown: Banff National Park in Winter or Summer?

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to briefly drive through a favorite region of mine, Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta Canada. The only other time I had been there was a couple of years ago in the middle of winter. My snowy experience in this famed winter destination was fun and well worth the adventure of traveling out there, but I was curious what the summer version of this beautiful part of the world would be like.
