| Aruba: Shrouded in Mystery |
| Submitted by christine on
2006-11-30 02:14:03 (via www.arubatragedy.com) |
| What is it that really happened that May 30th when Alabama teen Natalee Holloway vanished into the night, during her stay in Aruba? No one has seen her since she left with 3 locals in the early hours of that day. Aruba = One Happy Island? I don’t think so. This article made me consider safety issues above fun and beautiful scenery. Sad & scary:(

| It’s always funny to read westerners’ travelogues on Africa: the perspective is usually hilarious. Like this article, which ends with “anyway, Friends and Family, do not come to Ethiopia”. Now imagine its content. Or better read it yourself for a good laugh! Some flashes of honesty reveal the real beauty of this country; those are priceless!

| Here - a very interesting account by a “guinea-pig” in a research, done during a high-altitude medical expedition to Bolivia to observe how high altitude affects people. Then there is the afterward adventure: piranha fishing, searching for anacondas, swim in a pool with dolphins and alligators – weren’t they "agresivo”?;o) Crazy! I like it!

| Bread and Toasts in Georgia |

| Oh, I’ve heard too many myths about hospitality… However, this article almost made me believe in Georgians’ warmth, as the author claims to have gotten its first taste within a half hour of arrival. Read about old and new churches, great food, a lot of history, and awesome people – in other words, my next destination to see!

| Visiting Paradise |
| Submitted by roxy on

| I’ve always wanted to visit a place like this, where it seems like you can’t look anywhere without seeing birds and bumping into exotic animals or "paradise" type beaches you find in movies. The drivers are pretty wild in Costa Rica, but who cares? It’s a stunning place, and no wonder some people never came back after going there as tourists!

| Riga - A Magical City in the Baltics! |
| Submitted by Adele on
2006-11-16 02:52:48 (via realtravel.com) |
| Just like Jodie in this story, when hearing about Latvia or any other ex-Soviet Union country, I would ask: “Why would I go to any of these weird countries?” Not so after reading this. Riga is worth visiting: a beautiful medieval old town sprinkled with ultra-modern constructions and backed up with a very rich history.

| Ten Secret Places In Kenya |
| Submitted by Marvin Smith on
2011-12-05 06:10:11 (via travelwritersjourney.webs.com) |
| In my experience, Kenya is a country as fascinating as any in Africa. Its most prominent attractions do receive a fair amount of tourist traffic, but no more so than would any other reasonably stable country with a half-decent tourist infrastructure.

| A Totally Different Light Over Manila |
| Submitted by Marvin Smith on
2011-10-31 20:59:07 (via travelwritersjourney.webs.com) |
| Many people say that the sunset over Manila Bay is exceptional and without equal in any part of the world. Watching it is the city’s most avidly observed ritual. Such sunset is justly famous that only Nile’s sundown at Luxor could possibly match up.
