Seattle. Known for its Space Needle, grunge music, old markets and wet weather. Here are 5 fun things you must do during a visit to Seattle.
If you are looking to travel from Chile to Argentina, a scenic and unique experience is to go by road. From Santiago, Argentina’s wine region of Mendoza is a full day’s bus journey away. Yet there is little chance you will get bored on this drive, with spectacular views around every twist and turn.
What are the best US cities for foodies? New York to try some of the world’s top restaurants, LA for crazy-healthy cuisine or New Orleans for southern style?
After it being near the top of our USA bucket list for years, we finally got to experience how grand the Grand Canyon really is. After our visit many people asked us, “Which rim of the Grand Canyon is best?”
When I was working in travel, a lot of clients planning a visit to South America would ask if Santiago in Chile was worth spending a few days. As I discovered, the city is surprisingly cosmopolitan, friendly and artistic. If you like food and wine, architecture, great views and a bit of quirkiness, you’re going to love a Santiago stopover.
My wife, Inga and I were fortunate to do a road trip from Austin, Texas to NYC back in June/July 2009. We capped off the trip with nine beautiful, sunny summer days in the Big Apple.
Cuba is hands-down the most fascinating place I’ve ever visited – photographically speaking, too. On my first day in Havana my camera might as well have been surgically attached to my hands; I just couldn’t stop snapping. Oh, look at that cool vintage car! Click. Ooh, an abandoned theatre! Click, click, click.
Arriving into Bariloche, Argentina, you could be mistaken for thinking that you’re flying into a European alpine destination. The region’s landscape is very similar to the EU, dense with cypress trees, mountains, lakes and quaint villages. I felt I had been transported from South America direct to Western Europe!
I’m your average modern day traveller. In other words, I live by the motto ‘photo or it didn’t happen’. I upload my best shots to Instagram, I own a selfie stick (please reserve any judgement until you’ve travelled solo) and I always research my next destination on Google Images.
Tulum, Mexico is one of my favourite places in the world. The water is the bluest blue, it’s rich in Mayan culture - but the best thing about Tulum is its people.
