How hard it is to travel to Mexico?


With all the news about Mexico, it seems that it is difficult or hard to travel in the country. However Mexico is a huge country and not all places are difficult and has limitations on travel. We are talking about cities and places on the tropical areas in Mexico. Some of the popular destinations for travel and vacation are Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya, Acapulco and the central city of Mexico itself Mexico City.  Mexico is a prime destination for Tourists especially the tropics of Mexico where the beaches and Islands are great vacation destinations.

Mexico could have been one of the countries with deep roots, considered to start a civilization on the west and has really deep history and mystery. More of its history it is a very great country to visit but be wary of all the travel bans, advisories and warnings because not all places are safe to visit especially if you are a foreigner on the country. Most especially it is not advised or very dangerous to travel and visit the border areas and cities of Mexico so just to be safe plan to travel the pacific coasts of Mexico as it is more isolated from the border areas near the US. The resorts and destinations in the tropical cities of Mexico are considered one of the safest and also it has been a favorite destination spot for Millions of Americans and Europeans too. And in this regards the best way to travel to Mexico and its tropical cities is either by plane or enjoying a cruise to the tropics.

There are a lot of cities and beaches to choose from one of many favorite spots are Acapulco. It is considered as one of the safest cities to visit, it is also one of the longest beaches around. The resorts are great and have very friendly and top of the line accommodation and services. The resorts also offer a lot of features and amenities that all tourist will surely enjoy. Acapulco is also very well known aside from its beautiful beaches is its wonderful and lively nightlife. The city has remained to be one of the top destinations of tourists and travelers.

Places and destinations in Riviera Maya are also great for travelers. There are places to choose from, either you choose Cancun, Cozumel, Tulum and Playa Del Carmen are all great places to visit. Riviera Maya is also close to the Caribbean so if you plan to have more destinations and places to visit then the cities in Riviera Maya should be on first of your list.

We can never take for granted the central city of Mexico its capital Mexico City. Even if it is densely populated it is also a very great city to explore. The city is safe as it is a capital but this is big change of travel destination as compared those on the coastlines where the climate is warm and with beautiful beaches to enjoy the sun. However as the capital it also has a lot to offer. It still retains the old structures from the Spanish era and also has sustained a very rich Mexican culture throughout the decades.

Mexico is also a place of great foods, cuisines and delicacies that are well known throughout the world. While in Mexico all the authentic and local cuisines the cities can offer and above all have a wonderful travel.

Getting Ready for a Superb Caribbean Travel


Caribbean is not just a popular travel and vacation destination, but it is also one of the most beautiful places that anyone would wish to travel and spend time. There are a lot of places and countries to choose from and each one of the Caribbean destinations offers unique and a variety of features, rich culture, and friendly accommodation and of course a superb travel and vacation experience. With a lot of options and features to choose from you might want to visit all. But time is the villain as we don’t have much of it to spare for all our travels. Thus here we are going to point out how are we able to choose the Caribbean destination and make memorable experience.

Believe it or not Traveling to the Caribbean whether it is on Jamaica, Puerto Rico up to the Dominican Republic, truth is they are not always all expensive. There are still budget friendly accommodations to choose from and from that you can enjoy the Islands with all your heart contents. In order to save time and money traveling to the Caribbean and to other vacation and travel destinations it is imperative that the first point of arrival is well planned. In other words because choosing a destination in the Caribbean requires you to choose from one of its island and so it is important that the first destination is well chosen so you can go anywhere from there. Another point to consider is how much your money is worth on the island that will determine whether you can have more of what you can spend or have less based on the currency exchange. The reason is that the Caribbean is not a single country but consists of several countries and Island, but each one of them is unique to each other and they all offer beautiful and friendly places to visit.

When is the best time to go to the Caribbean Islands? Well if you ask me I’ll choose the summer to enjoy the sun and tan, or maybe during really cold winter where you want somewhere warm sunny. Whether you choose summer or winter it does not matter the important thing is you have the time of the year to spend most of your holidays and vacation. However it is important to note that not all people especially in the north wants to be on a very hot spot of summer so most people will enjoy the Caribbean on winter, but this is also the busiest time of the year in the Islands. Winter season is the peak of the Island and thus prices are not the same as compared to the summer season. Spring and fall could be the lowest as this is the lean season where it is a time where people don’t have the luxury for holidays as they are busy with the work year. It is also the season of rain in the tropics so you will not enjoy much of the sun and the places where it is always raining almost every day.

Caribbean is a very great place to go to and explore. Get ready for an amazing adventure when you go there and you will be surprised every time you visit. The islands are all beautiful with white sand beaches, great dining experience and a lot more to enjoy.

What to Expect when you travel to Japan


Japan is such a very wonderful country, with lots of wonderful features, beautiful people, beautiful sceneries and a wide range of delicacies, parks, monuments, foods and the unique culture this historic country has to offer. Japan nicknamed land of the rising simply because it is an Island in the Pacific Ocean and has one of the most beautiful sunrises in the world.

There are tons of funs and activities you can do while in Japan. Dining of course you should never miss a single one actually you will never miss anything you might not have the time to indulge in their unique feasts. Experience and taste the unique and tradition sushi’s and of course the ramen they are so delicious and you can only definitely taste and savor the authentic flavor while in the country.

Japan is also a well know hiking spots for adventurous travelers. Japan has lots of mountains to explore and they are all very beautiful. They also have snow capped summits and also the mountains of Japan are very exquisite and been traditionally has religious ceremonies and cultural importance to the country. Out of the wondrous city life the outskirts of Japan and its hiking spots are starting to get developed. Thankfully for that as we are all tired of city stress it would be a breath of fresh air to experience something new and especially if it is somewhere calm, clean and very refreshing.

Japan is also very well known because of its shrines and temples where some of them are centuries old. A little knowledge about the shrines; they are called “Shinto” and are used to worship what they call Kami or God much like the Greeks do. There are secrets within the historic shrines but they are hidden to people not because of fear of being damaged or stolen but because they are too precious and too Sacred to be seen by people. There are different kinds of shrines in which they are classified as imperial shrines, Inari Shrines, Hachiman, Tenjin, Sengen and also some clans or of course in our simple terms family shrines especially if the ancestor is of historic origin or once held power in the course of time and helped nurture japans future. The shrines and temples especially those which are open for tourists and guests now have offices and guides for easy navigation of the place.

Who would never have heard of the word otaku, manga and anime? Japan is its origins and has become an identity of the country to the world in today’s generation. In fact this medium and new culture has helped Japan paved way to be known to this generation.  A few events have spawned from cosplays to conventions.

While in Japan of course never forget about the shopping Districts. You will be amazed of all the wonderful products they have. Actually the country has known to develop and create a lot of valuable things like in electronics the TV, cell phones, and cameras and even gamers will like it here this is where play station was developed.

There are a lot of things to expect and to be experienced but most important of all the warm welcome of the resident’s just makes the stay in this north cold country much warmer, more fruitful and more enjoyable.

South Korea a country that must be in your travel list


Korea is now one of the most sought after travel destinations around the world. The country is clean and peaceful thanks to its government’s policies and open market that makes the country very welcoming to tourists. It is a very beautiful land, aside from its fast track technology just like Japan and the US, aside from the modern world Korea still holds to its roots, tradition and very deep culture. The country is also know to be one of the most welcoming hosts around the globe, but be sure to be respectful and also wear a very beautiful smile like they have. Its capital city Seoul is the one of the world’s leading economic market. The city is beautiful and vibrant and boasts numerous nightlife activities for everyone.

There are tons of tourist and guests adventures and activities that are waiting for anyone who is willing to discover the wonders of South Korea. Just like any other countries in Asia it has lots of shrines and temples this is a proof how proud the Koreans are with their culture, tradition and deep roots in history. In fact South Korea has one of the oldest histories and their ancestors have contributed a lot in development of science and technology that a few in today’s generation have known about. They have excelled in the fields of astronomy and also in combat technology warfare. The countries history is too deep that we let researchers discover and as for us travelers we just need to discover all the wonderful places that the country can offer.

Of course in all travels one should never miss a chance to experience the traditional and authentic Korean cuisines. Who have never heard of the dish called kimchi? In today’s time it is not only a side dish, a condiment or a single dish but Kimchi has made Korea well known and placed its identify more visible on the map, what I meant is that it made the country Korea popular. Rice wines also made it to the world market; this very delicate and unique alcoholic beverage is a local specialty. Wine lovers will definitely love it, although it has a very strong alcohol kick but still it is very delighting to take every once in a while. And speaking of drinking if you are with a Korean local or a Korean friend is sure to ask what the custom is as they are very sensitive in this manner.

When in the country visit other places too not just the traditional travel spots, but try out the bars, the museums and the electronic market. This is very perfect for tech savvy travelers and tourists; the electronic Market at Yongsan is definitely a haven for techs. The place is a complex of buildings specially built to house the shops explicitly for electronic gadgets like the GPS navigators, MP3 players, advanced smart phones, of course the gaming consoles; aside from modern day technology go to the Leeum Samsung Museum of Arts in Mount Namsan. This museum has been pioneering in the education and spread of Korean culture and arts and has also headed in raising the country as a top arts destination.

Truthfully there are still lots of features, places, traditions and culture that we need to discover at this historic country. But first of all we need get a very long check list if you decide to travel to South Korea.

Discovering Europe a Traveler’s point of view


Europe for me is I consider it as the pinnacle of modern civilization. They are what I recognized as the pioneer travelers, navigators and discoverers of the modern world. History tells us that it was the search parties and travelers of Europe that spreads influences across the globe. In fact Europe has been home of the richest countries and history around the world. Their expedition led us to commerce, communications and exchange of intelligence, market, products and commodities. From the Spanish and Portuguese expeditions, to Rome’s influence to religion, the riches of France and Britain all are related to this vast continent.

More than history that we all know they have been part of, more than the knowledge and the trade that they spread, Europe is more than that. Europe has a lot of rich, royalty and very influential countries under its name. In fact they have a trade and commerce union that they established which also been a huge influence to the world financial movement. But above all else the continent is home to very good and brightest people and above all it is a place where travelers and tourist alike would like to explore, enjoy and discover new adventures.

European countries have a legacy to preserve their very rich history as been seen to its structures and even the houses you can see how much they preserve their culture and heritage. But even so the countries are very robust in terms of their economy without sacrificing the beauty and heritage of the places and the famous cities it houses. However Europe even as a small continent does not share the same cultures all countries have their own unique borders that they can offer to travelers around the world. From culinary cuisines, scenic beauty, fresh and clean environment and of course lovely people are what make countries in Europe very unique and very much nicer to travel.

We name the most popular countries that travelers around the world love to visit- The lovely country of France. Paris the capital of the country which hosts the popular monument the Eiffel tower in which its popularity is very well known. Not because it is huge, tall and monumental, but because by the time it was built it is considered one of the wonders of engineering marvels. It is also hosts to different lovely cultures and of course the all time traveler’s favorite the delicious and savory cuisines and dishes.

The United Kingdom or UK in short is also part of Europe countries and is considered very rich in history and also a very rich country. UK still maintained lineage for Royalties and is still part of the political and government system, although the leader is now the Prime Minister. London is a prime spot and destination. It has more to offer than the best of the English cuisines but also the city is very vibrant and perfect for any traveler who wishes to enjoy good company.

There are also countries of Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland that each has their own unique beautiful environment, places and cities that we need to discover and be amazed. There are so many places to go, visit and discover but I am sure that we will be enjoying all the first class accommodations each country will offer.

My Top Summer Destination Wish list


Summer time is here and it is a perfect season to get a break and time off from a whole year of work. This is also the perfect time for the family to enjoy a whole month together off from work for parents and school break vacation for the kids and the rest of the family. There are two things that come in our mind on summer; one is the beautiful beaches and second, the cold temperate environment either on the southern hemisphere or in northern part of Europe. It is going to be a hard choice of where to go, it is not going to be an easy pick but we have to do it. We already got a full year of work, stress and fatigue and it has already been a family tradition that we must enjoy a time of the way, summer specially where we will travel and have lots of fun.

So here is my wish list of where we might go this summer;

Hawaii – Just off the coast of the US; it is a US state territory in the central pacific. An archipelago built by volcanoes thus the soils and land is very rich. The Hawaii islands are very well know beach and summer destination not only because of the beaches and its beautiful waves perfect for surfing, but it also has tranquil spots perfect for swimming and scuba diving. I am sure the kids will also enjoy all the good sceneries inlands and the exotic faunas, forest, and plants around Hawaii. This is a tropical island and one of the best summer destinations around.

Bora Bora – Often disregarded during travel plans but this southern pacific island is also one of the favorites among US and European travelers. Although it is far right down the South Pacific in the Tahiti Islands of French Polynesia but it has picturesque qualities. The waters are so cool and clear and have a lot of lagoons and are a house of very large and famous coral reefs. They also offer luxurious accommodation and a travel tour guides for all those who are traveling the first time on the islands.

Amsterdam – We now have to consider the beautiful countries of Europe and in our list we took interest for Netherlands capital “Amsterdam”. It is a very popular city not because the media and movies have all interest with the city but because Amsterdam is a really beautiful and one of the friendliest city to Travel and very accommodating for travelers and tourists. It is a very historical country and thus it also preserved its long legacy. Perfect for adventure and sightseeing, and they have very enjoyable entertainment and tourist guide information. It is a perfect refuge as the city is very clean and of course it is popular with their coffee and delicacies.

There are a lot more of cities, countries and destinations to think of and consider but we are running out of time so maybe next year we will have a new list. But the 3 destinations I’ve mentioned are places that we took interest upon days and days of thinking, searching and researching of where the family would want to enjoy the summer break.

Traveling to Puerto Rico; why you should consider it


Summer time is here and a break at school is really close. So what would you do during this time of the year? Well you’re off for a travel and vacation of course. Ideally before traveling all you need to do is really plan out, research and read lots of paper ahead of time. You must take note of everything especially on your goals what was that you want to do, where is the best place? How will I enjoy there? Those are just small questions you need to ask yourself whenever you want to go to travel and vacation. But over my long period of research my attention became more captivated in some places of Puerto Rico that was featured in one magazine that I have read. I presented pictures and reasons to my parents and why I am deciding to be at the place and both of us agreed about it.

As it was always my dream of going into places, Puerto Rico is next to my mind as I want to experience paradise vacation came true! In my opinion beaches are its best gorgeous assets such as the mostly undiscovered beaches of Aguadilla and Isabella. It’s more fun to do kite boarding and windsurfing in both of the beaches. We travelled into   North Western most top of the country in Aguadilla. I learned about some of the history of Aguadilla like it is home to the Aguadilla international airport, is one of 12 commercial airports in the country, also, that its name from a time when the U.S. Military would dock rescue boats for downed air planes on its pier. The pier, which still stands today, is a wonderful tourist attraction. Beach goers are known to walk onto the pier and dive into the crystal clear water.

Both municipalities of Aguadilla and Isabella   have their quality waves as we both of my mom and I enjoyed. We enjoy each day hiking, surfing  and snorkeling or horseback riding. And top it off with a delicious dinner at any one of the area’s top restaurants.  After the sun goes down, we embrace music; there we find great options for live music in both small and large venues. You know what makes me happier in the place? Of course another best and popular asset of Puerto Rico is their food and special cuisines, we tried their mofongo. Back in the history of Morongo this type of cuisine is the unofficial namesake of Puerto Rican cuisine, and for a good reason. It is basically a mix of mashed plantains and seasonings to which you can add any number of fillings including fish, shrimp, steak, port or various vegetarian options.

Another good thing to experience is their relaxation times offered at the Spas. While we may not be the world's foremost traveler, we still have to say that if you are considering a new place to travel, and most would highly recommend a Puerto Rico vacation. We should say 'if you are considering a NEW place to travel', only because if you have already been out there everywhere during summer or vacation period and you're not set on discovering something new, it would be almost a no brainer to return to the shores of Puerto Rico. At least I know that you would be having so much fun and excitement during the trip.

Vacation time with your best friends; why choose the UK


Vacation and travel is never the same without your best friends. Now is the time to plan to having a trip as this is the month where most of the companies could give allow credit to have vacation to most of their employees. You might have wanted to have a trip that is educational while enjoying and having so much fun. However, first you will be worried if having a vacation in a tropical country is it possible? Because you will have your anxiety and worries regarding budgeting. However, you can consult a travel agency, look for blogs or even ask other close friends where could be the best place to spend the vacation specially this summer.

The area where there is a lot attractive destination and also a cool weather, you might want to decide to have your vacation is in the UK. It is famous everywhere and where there are more and more people who plans their vacations and stays longer for a while in the country sides. Aside from a booming economy to thank for, there are also lots attractions and interesting fun activities to have. Britain is best known visits are on the Museums such: Bristol Museum and Art Gallery which have world class collections of art, archaeology, Egyptology and geology, including natural history are all present within just three floors. The Red Lodge Museum which is conveniently located within the city centre the museum is an old historic Elizabethan house; with over 400 hundred years of history, built in 1580. Brunel SS Great Britain his place was very good to visit and should never omit to be seen because   much ahead of its time, featuring screw propeller and built with iron. To top of all that the country is very rich in history thus not only Museums you have to go on the country side and discover more about their past.

You should also think for a good accommodation and one to be famous is in Hotel at Bristol city. Vacation and travel in the UK is not cheap as hotels there are quite expensive but rest assured you will have really world class services. There are so many hotels to choose either on a budget for a trip. In our part, we do select somewhere that is relatively close to all the local attractions to help maximize the possible visits to the local attractions and activities. Not all vacations have to be expensive and especially when it's a family trip that is a regular occurrence towards promoting family time and towards escaping the daily stress and strains. Low cost getaways are always a great option.

While in the UK don’t just hang up in the city of Britain discover its country sides all the up to Ireland. As we all know and heard the UK Islands are one of the most beautiful and majestic places to travel. Its outskirts and serene and fresh, the air is so fresh that well there is a person who is actually selling British fresh air in Asia if you have not heard of it. The country is one of the safest and cleanest countries for anyone either for Locals or travelers. But in order to get the best out of everything in your travel be sure that all your goals, itinerary, budget and activities to do are already well planned out.
