Greece is open to travelers, but should you rush to the Mediterranean shores?
One of our favorite destination’s in Europe, Greece, is now welcoming American travelers. Great news for those itching for their Europe & Mediterranean fix. But should you book your tickets for June / July or not? I am a travel agent and my business has had 0 credit for over a year since I only sell international travel. So I am really hoping Europe opens up soon for me to begin making money. But, having said that, I would still advice people to not rush just yet. Keep in
Coachella in the Pandemic, are you nuts!
Not at all…… in fact, it is THE place to visit especially in these crazy times. Here are our reasons why: DESERT X 2021: The Desert X 2021 exhibition, explores the desert as both a place and idea, acknowledging the realities of people who reside here and the political, social, and cultural contexts that shape our stories.

Off to Turkey…..
The worst part of having a travel business is that one is always busy when it is vacation time for others. We are working extra hours planning kid friendly vacations for families, while we glance across wondering if we will be able to take our children for a vacation in the summer holidays. The big question: MONEY vs PEACE OF MIND! I chose the latter. Been working since I was 16 and fortunately earning money is no big deal for me. People working in the travel trade and other
Crete a different region altogather
Though, Crete is part of Greece and is Greece’s largest island; the people, food and feel is very different than the rest of the country. The Cretans are warriors with very high self esteem and pride a bit bruised with the bloody past and war with the Ottoman Turks. After our fiasco in Paris, we were quite looking forward to a relaxed beach holiday with our friends from UK. We reached Athens a couple of days before they arrived with their 3 year old as we wanted to see
Authentic Vietnam
I am an absolute sucker for authentic experiences. From accommodation, modes of transport, eating out places and touring sights. Hence I always tend to pick boutique hotels owned and managed by locals over branded chains, trust me if you choose a 4* option or above you won’t have any complaints with boutique hotels.

Where to go for a vacation? The big question…. – Part I
We all have our bucket list of places to visit, which just keeps on growing each time we see a travel documentary, a movie or read about a new place. On the other hand, most of us have also been blessed with some wonderful memories of vacations we’ve had with our loved ones and families and wish we could re-visit those places to relive the memories. Here comes the big question, should we go to the place we know we love and enjoy or start ticking off our
Where To Go For A Vacation? The Big Question…. – Part II
I had gone for party this weekend and she wanted to know what I meant by ‘Experiential Trips‘, so I started narrating my standard examples like treasure hunt in the Coliseum, making your own Venetian Mask, Art class post visiting the Louvre in Paris, etc. She started cringing and my ego just shattered, I have always had eyes sparkle when I narrate these tours. She said I had moving around so much on my holiday! I just want to do nothing and that is a holiday for me,
