Florida’s Best Free Attraction? Manatee Lagoon in West Palm Beach
I’d been aware of West Palm’s Manatee Lagoon for a while and had it on a list of attractions to check out. Manatees are found throughout Florida but Manatee Lagoon is known as the best place to observe wild manatees in Florida. When a post popped up in my Instagram feed recently I clicked through

Why MedellÃn is the Ultimate Place for a Coffee Tour
I’m not going to make you read 3000 words to find out why MedellÃn is the best place in the world to tour a coffee farm. It’s the weather. The mountains make their own climate here and the weather is typically perfect year round at a high altitude. If you’ve ever been curious about seeing

Exploring Inca History in the Pachecamac Ruins
If you’re coming to Peru to see Machu Picchu or just passing through Lima for other reasons you might be considering a visit to the site of the Pachecamac Ruins and Museum.

Wynwood, Miami: No One Goes There Anymore It’s Too Crowded

Review of the Chocolate Hills tour in the Philippines
On a recent trip to Bohol Islands in the Philippines I had to take the opportunity for touring the Chocolate Hills. I’m extremely happy I did… mostly because the beaches at Panglao Island are not that great and spending a full four days there is honestly a bit much. Having a full day tour to

The Best Attraction in Baltimore? On Visiting Poe’s Grave
When visitors think of Baltimore the first thing that usually comes to mind is the Inner Harbor. The Aquarium, Science Center and the USS Constellation are among the city’s most popular sites. But these attractions are very family-centric and have only limited appeal for business trips, solo travelers or visiting sports fans. One site that
