Say Greenland and a traveler immediately thinks of a giant slab of ice. With attractions such as Disko Bay, Motzfeldt So Lake, and the hikes around Qaqortoq, Greenland is great for travelers looking for something off the beaten path.

Disko Bay

Over the last ten years, the reputation of Costa Rica as a travel destination has grown leaps and bounds. Good places to visit include San Jose and Tamarindo.

Costa Rica

For better or worse, man has tamed Mother Nature in many countries. My general impression is this isnt the case in Costa Rica.

San Jose to Carrillo

Roughly ten of us had decided to head to Costa Rica for a week to stay at a friends place just outside the beach town of Carrillo on the west coast. We flew into San Jose and were supposed to be met by a rental company representative that had two new VW vans for us.

A restored streamliner train, complete with refurbished cars from the 1880s, travels on the original Northern Pacific route. This route, completed in 1883, was Americas second transcontinental rail line and is the most scenic route through the American West. Operated by Montana Rockies Rail Tours from June to September, the Montana Daylight Train travels through the Rocky Mountains along a 478-mile route between Sandpoint, Idaho and Livingston, Montana.

Live in another country and youll start to experience serious cultural differences. This is particularly true as I discovered with Halloween in Siberia.

Russian Holidays

Every country has a unique beverage it claims as its own. In Costa Rica, the beverage of choice is Guaro.

Beverages

There is a certain national pride associated with claiming an alcoholic beverage. Think of Mexico and tequila immediately comes to mind. Vodka, of course, goes with Russia. Visit Greece and an ouzo headache cant be far behind. Aquavit in Sweden will definitely turn your headand stomach. Costa Rica, of course, couldnt miss out on the fun.

Guaro

Thailand is known as the land of smiles, which is amazing considering the traffic jams in Bangkok. For budget travelers, Thailand simply cant beat on price alone.

Thailand

Thailand is an odd mix of contrasts. It can be extremely stressful while trying to get around in Bangkok and gloriously relaxing while laying on practically any of the beaches that populate the coast of the country. Regardless of the situation, the Thais have a habit and custom or smiling regardless of what you ask or how you ask it.

Beaches

Are you planning a holiday? Consider New Orleans. The city provides a fun-filled holiday for the entire family or even for a couple. Situated between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans is a frequented tourist destination because of all that it offers. From museums to gardens, aquariums to night clubs, from exciting bars to exotic restaurants, and of course Mardi Gras, the place has it all!

Denia

Midway between Valencia to the north and Alicante to the south, Denia is located on the Mediterranean with some 20km of beach and a backdrop of pine clad hills and mountains. The climate is one of the best in Spain, and Denia was voted as the 3rd healthiest place to live, once visited you can see why. With the temperature rarely dropping below the mid teens in the winter and averaging 19 degrees throughout the year, Denias climate is both mild and dry, ideal for both holiday makers and the orange and lemon groves surrounding the town.
