Travel is all about enhancing the senses. In its basic form travel is about going on a wild ride to discover textures of the world. Watch the waves crash and foam on sandy shores as you journey coast to coast, marvel at the jagged peaks of barren ridges […]
The night before we had stayed a two-hour drive from the Neuschwanstein castle opting for a very early morning rather than paying outrageously expensive hotel costs to sleep near the very touristic castle. I must confess that before visiting I knew very little about Neuschwanstein Castle. During the tour Anita […]
Last tuesday #TRLT celebrated its 200th consecutive chat on Twitter and discussed the topic “The Best of The Road Less Traveled”. TRLT is about discovering the unknown, venturing across borders and broadening travel horizons beyond the famous World Wonders or picture-perfect photos of destinations found in common travel […]
Last week, together with fellow travellers from around the world, we discussed STREET CULTURE on #TRLT Twitter chat. When I think of “street culture” I instantly smell the delicious street food and market spices caressing the senses of both locals and tourists in Istanbul, the seemingly nonstop festivals, […]
We all know the wonders of olive oil and sunflower oil, the two most common oils we use for cooking, in salads etc and if you’re like me, after a shower to keep your skin hydrated (bet you didn’t know that!). But have you ever heard of pumpkin […]
I have not been to Kuwait but both my brothers have. Skylar was there several times as it was a staging point and convoyed around a lot while he was serving in the US Marine Corps while on tour in Iraq. Ammon was in the middle of his […]
Curiosity is a funny thing. It’s probably the number one reason that has caused the obsession of travel for centuries. Without that pulling desire, that comes much stronger in some than others, we never would have come to learn that the world was in fact round and that […]
SLOVENIA- The Only Country With the Word LOVE In It! To be honest, I don’t know if that’s a true statement, I haven’t checked, but when I heard someone say that I thought, perfect! Originally Slovenia was not one of the countries on my urgent must-see travel list. […]
Travel is amazing for an unlimited number of reasons; history, ideal weather conditions, putting your feet up and relaxing in exotic locations, taking on new adventures, a platform to build lifelong memories, experiencing culture diversity and thinking outside the box…but without the friendly faces of others smiling back […]
The highlight and most eastern stop of our “8-Country, 8-Day Birthday Road Trip” was Budapest where I spent my 27th birthday. We stayed at Estilo Fashion Hotel right on Vaci Street in the center of shops, restaurants, cafes and just a minutes walk to the nearest Hop on Hop Off bus stop […]
WOW! What a blast. Kees and I eloped in the Caribbean and celebrated with friends and family in Canada but never celebrated in The Netherlands. We were so fortunate, 8.5 months later, to have the opportunity to throw a party for our Dutch family and friends. All thanks […]
Normally each Tuesday a community of travellers, who now feel more like family after 3+ years of chatting each week, come together on #TRLT Twitter chat and INSPIRE! We share the best of the best stories and photos and leave each other with ever-growing bucket lists and wild travel dreams […]
Before visiting Africa, the image I had in my mind was that of Kenya. I just didn’t know it. Not all of Africa sports those perfect red earth roads, beautiful locals in their bright traditional dress or the spotted, striped and maned creatures on safari. Kenya was the […]
Are you in search of those “Weird and Wonderful” travel experiences that will both shock and make your family and friends back home say, “Wow, I want to do/see that too!”? Then here are few great starters from around the world that are bound to get some reactions. […]
Setting out on the road at 6 a.m., we left husband, Kees, and Anita’s husband, Rene, shaking their heads in our wake, completely convinced we were insane to willingly volunteer to spend an entire week “sitting in the car”. “I can’t imagine anything worse. I really think you […]
