IRAN: Discovering Persopolis

Iran is one of the most ancient countries of the planet.  Thousands of monuments and picturesque attractions make Iran a hot tourism spot. The Iranian style of architecture is unique and creative, One example of that piece is the Persopolis, also known as Takht-e Jamshid (Throne of Jamshid). Persopolis is also in the list of Unesco world heritage site, a must see when visiting Iran. The Persopolis although in ruins, it remains a jewel and a legacy of the Persian Empire. What you will see today is only a glimpse of its former glory, its proof that this ancient city was lost for thousands of years. Believing to be built in 518 B.C., I can only be in awe and be amazed of this structure.

El Salvador

El Salvador has surroundings to please tourists in many ways with a great diversity. In all my travel I can say that El Salvador is one of the safest places to visit which make travelling very easy. I know this because during  our stay we had tourist-police following us everywhere we go. The weather is always warm with few rains allowing tourists enjoy outdoor activities visitors can enjoy all kinds od activites such as history, ecology, adventure and leisure.

Top 5 Must-Have Apps while Traveling

Thanks to Apple and Steve jobs, travelling has been an ease compared to the olden days. We used to carry around laptops and maps; but thanks to the iPhone and iPad that with just a single tap, you could do anything. I have here 5 of my favorite apps which I ALWAYS use every time I travel, making my trip productive and most of all MONEY SAVING.

Meeting the Beautiful Locals

Inspired by the song of Chris Brown "Beautiful People" We decided to make a photo blog of meeting the beautiful locals of different countries. Something that is much as exciting as seeing the sites.

I was able to learn with and from people from all around the world. I felt how it was to travel abroad and experience the world talking to different people, learning their language, eating their food, drinking brews of beer and just being a part of their culture. Visiting new places and making new friends was surreal.

As I recall the interactions I had with all the amazing people I’ve met gave me an inner happiness. 

Turkey's Greatest Sceneries! Turkey part 2

There is a reason why I separated Turkey into two parts. I wanted to emphasize on the most beautiful and historical region of Turkey. The places that are going to be featured in this entry are one of the most unique nature wonders in the world and one of the greatest outdoor museums. A heaven for photographers!

Turkey: A Country for all tastes - Part 1

I personally consider Turkey as one of the most glorious countries in the world. 

If there is one country that I would love to go back to over and over again, it would be Turkey. Every country displays some diversity, but Turkey has it all-- from its historical value, nature, shopping, and even the food. This country is blessed with everything!

Cambodia: The Kingdom of Wonders

One country that changed the way that I look at the world forever was Cambodia. 
Its like warping to ancient civilization, a city that offers insight into the life of time and how religion grew in their influence.

Bhutan: Happiness is a Place

Bhutan a very extraordinary place to go to. This country is considered one of the most expensive places to visit, and yet you would notice that the modernity is not the same as the rest. If you visit Bhutan, you will become one of the few who will get a glimpse of the most enchanted and mysterious countries which they also call "The Last Shangrila". 


"Bhutan offers an opportunity to glimpse another way of living, an alternative vision of what is truly important in life." - Lonely Planet

The Best Travel Souvenir (But the cheapest)

I’m sure when you travel, you would love to take a piece of that place with you. And what better way to do this but to get souvenirs. The souvenirs you get don’t need to be useful as it will be only a reminder of the incredible places and experience you had.

Slovenia: A Hidden Romantic country

Size isn’t everything. Slovenia has proved worthy of that phrase. Slovenia is a tiny country in Europe still waiting for its best travel description yet. This small country offers more variety than countries twice its size--from the snowcapped mountains, gothic churches, decorative palaces, medieval castles, artistic buildings and most of all, its natural romantic ambiance.

African Wildlife: Zambia

The world is full of spectacular creations, and what better way to discover most of it but in Africa. You may think watching the herds move is not that exciting and not unforgettable. But once you get to see it personally and actually watch their lifestyle and their will to survive is a whole different level.

Cuba

If you lived in Cuba in the 1950’s and had a time travelling device to fast forward to today, you will never tell the difference because of its vintage beauty.

We started the trip by visiting the Old Havana, probably the most picturesque city in Latin America. You will fall in love with the city; its brick road peppered with vintage cars that lead up to huge wooden doors of stores that sell old books alongside Che Guevarra merchandises, gives you a feel of the 1950s that's still present in the city.

Iceland, Purely Nature

I just don’t get it why Iceland is not a top tourist destination country. Iceland has one of the most mixed natural elements I have ever seen -- the Ocean, the beautiful Fjord lakes, the geysers, the wide expanses, lava fields, glaciers and the geothermal feilds. All these phenomena fit in one big island.  If we are talking about a truly “unique travel:” GO to Iceland.  Every district of this country has its own distinctiveness.  No one will ever be disappointed to travel to Iceland.

YAH MON! JAMAICAN!

They say you can find the happiest people in Bhutan. I say, you can find the 'awesomest' people in Jamaica. 
They say Italian is the most beautiful language. I say, Patios is the language of the Cool people.

Greenland, the land of Ice

Here is another exciting and most recent trip of mine – Greenland.  It’s really mind boggling why it was named Greenland, when in fact 85% of the land in Greenland is ice.  According to their “Saga” during the 13^th century, a Viking from Denmark discovered Greenland; but in order to attract migrants, he used the words “The GREEN LAND”.  Well, that’s the story…

Brazilian Expedition

Since this is my first blog, the first travel I would like to feature is one of my favorite trips -  Brazil.  The thing that I like about Brazil is that you DON’T NEED A VISA (for Philippine passport holders)! Another thing is that you could cover a lot of famous sites in this trip like: 1. The famous Christ the Redeemer. 2. The voluptuous Copacabana beach and  Ipanema beach, where the song “girl of Ipanema” was named after. 3. The amazing and breathtaking Iguassu Falls – I could seriously say that time stops when you’re in this place.
