What an amazing city of contrasts! But if I must… Green. Wandering around what is the (broken) Concrete jungle of Bogota, you are never more than a few steps from a glimpse of the expansive mountains that surround this metropolis. I learnt quickly that watching the mountains instead of the traffic can be quite hazardous…
Packing
So… Its time to admit the Achilles heel to my travels… PACKING! I HATE HATE HATE it!! I just packed for my recent trip to Bogota, Colombia. A 5 day extravaganza of food, families, walking and weddings. I loved it, but that aside, so many occasions meant a serious wardrobe challenge. On top of that, I…
Finding your bargain
One of the trips I’m planning at the moment involves: a cruise, a trip to disney land, seeing a show and a visit to medieval times! I live in Miami, Florida and all of the elements of this vacation are either in or leaving from Florida. There are two of us trvalling, the second being…

It added that extra element of fun to focus our adventures to a theme, to compare offerings across cities, state…. ok lets face…

In…
The Golden Deserts of Dubai
The second you land in Dubai, you know you are in the desert. Yeah so you may be in one of the most fancy-pants airports on the planet, and you may drive by some of the most shiny monstrosities of silver steel and blue glass known to man, but the inmistakable dry heat haze, the sand and…
The Rainbow of India
I always got odd looks from people when I said I wanted to visit India for the colour, but it really was what drew me there. Hinduism with all its colour and stories, and India, not only for my girly love of bling shopping but of course the magenta saris, red turbans and bright yellow…
