Nestled in Malaysia, Malacca truly comes about as one of the most singled out locales, especially those who prefer to time travel to places with a streak of historic enigma.

The rich heritage and undiluted legacy along with spectacles of some of the greatest architectural figures is what earns a Malacca its unique and peculiar look. The gastronomic affair of this Malaysian state is hard to miss, as one can sample some of the greatest culinary experiences, which can be attributed to the cultural melting pot which also boils its influence on the cooking pot.

So you like jokes, right? Excellent, I’ve got one for you. So there’s two professors at a conference and one of them is a Spaniard and the other is Gaelic. As icebreakers go, the Spanish professor decided to ask the Irishman if there was a Gaelic word similar in use to mañana. The Hebridian porfessor pondered over this for a minute while scratching his salt and pepper beard and said that the Irish have five words similar to mañana but none of them are quite as urgent as that.
We apologise for not getting things off to the best start possible, but rest assured that this is not an assessment of two languages and their merits. It is instead meant to be indicative of the languid way of life that is to be had in the Outer Hebrides and we hope you appreciate that more than the joke. The morning paper [...]
The Fiji Islands had rather been a well-kept secret by the local inhabitants till about nearly two decades ago, ever since then bubbling with travel lovers and adventure raiders. Comprising a cluster of more than three hundred pristine islands, the rapidly growing tourism scene has led to Fiji becoming a second home to many of the travelers as a permanent residence. This inflow of wanders from diverse origins has led to an interesting mix of culture, blending in Polynesian, Micronesian, Melanesian, European and Indian traditions and influences.
The Islands are nestled in South Pacific Ocean, south of Tuvalu, east of Vanuatu and west of Tonga. Sugar trade that defines the economy of Fiji Islands is also well supported by trotters coming over to absorb the scenic splendors these islands have to offer. The mesmerizing bounty of Fiji, by its crystal blue bays and the golden sands of the beaches is much [...]
Madagascar is more than just a little island sailing in two boats, being off the coast of Africa as it is but with its roots in Asia. Madagascar is a little pearl unto itself and its uniqueness is deep-set in its ways and exotic wildlife, with tree-climbing lemurs (some of which make a sound like a siren) scurrying away just as soon as you snap that twig below your foot. Flippant Hollywood animated barely begins to do justice to it. Over millions of years of evolution, Madagascar has flora and fauna far removed from that you would find in any other place on the face of the planet, such as the carnivorous pitcher plant. Madagascar is a conservationist’s wet dream and a wildlife fan’s wildest imagination sprung to life.
Unique is Madagascar, right from the experiences you’ll have here to the people you meet to the forests you’ll traverse. Peruse these [...]
Black Forest may infuse either mouth-smacking piece of heavenly delight or even spine-chilling images of a thick, dark, secluded place. Think of dark and Goth stories, and what place other than Germany can live up to it? However, Black Forest to the true-blue globe trotter, make that with a streak for wanderlust in the lap of Mother Nature, sure to know what they have in store in the Black Forests.
A beautiful spread of emerald over the German territories possibly attributes the beautiful forests a Goth-style name, true to the architectural trends of Germany, but don’t let the perception hold you back from experiencing this paradise of a place abundant with verdant beauty and spectacular natural bounty.
Straddling along the Swiss and French borders accompanied by the pristine Neckar River, the Black Forest is nestled in the southern west region of Württemberg in the state of Baden. The Black Forest runs along [...]
What truly defines the Copenhagen experience is the instant sight of bright happy homes on the banks of a canal with boats by the side. The cobbled streets of this Danish capital is most definitely a captivating place which leaves me in rapt awe of the grandeur with a pleasant twist in the art and architecture, flourishing richness and an escalating enigma in its true blue style.
Trees decorated, a perfect festive family break where the exuberance of a holiday mixes with the uber excitement of Christmas festivities, I am turned into a happy child who can’t stop but being in sheer awe of a city that comes alive with all the merry and jovial vibe in the air, Copenhagen is definitely one of the coolest, very varied and all the more stirring experience. This Danish capital is bubbling with joy, architectural splendors and a quaint feel that can only be [...]
After a visit to the Discovery Cove, everything that I see seems to look FISHY! Here a fish, there a fish, everywhere a fish fish! Old Mac Donald had a Cove…E I E I OO!
Yes, the nursery rhyme of kids is sure to undergo a change after a visit to the most spectacular Discovery Cove in Florida. I’m still reeling under the experience of the trip. The one to one encounter with the marine buddies is a one of a lifetime experience in itself. The friendly dolphins, playful stingrays and a tete-a-tete with the aquatic animals including the much apprehended rather feared sharks and barracuda also takes away all the fright as the fun unravels and one does not even realize how the friendly association has broken the ice to leave no room for getting scared.
It was truly delightful and rather an adrenal thumping experience to come one-on-one with the [...]
It started out as one of those once in a life time experiences and ended up as a dream comes true. We arrived at the airport in Trelew which is about a thousand two hundred kilometers to the south of Buenos Aires. We were welcomed by a friendly tour guide to start the trip to Patagonia.
We then drive to the charming coastal Puerto Madryn. A panoramic tour and a delectable lunch sets the mood for the journey ahead. Then later in the afternoon a paradise nature reserve of Peninsula Valdes awaits us. Armadillos, guanacos, gray foxes of Patagonia and the lesser rheas form a tresure trove of animals to catch sight of. Next day I remember basking in the enchanting beaches with elephant seals for company.
A trekking trip around the coast will thrill the explorer in you. It sure did work for me. A remote village of Bahia Bustamante is [...]

With Wily Wanker’s Chocolate Factory as a weakness for the sweet-toothed, Real Madrid for the soccer stimulated, a spirit that personifies the vivir a tope penchant; no browny points there for guessing! It is most definitely, without a scope for doubt, no other place than the Spanish territory of Madrid. The city that’s driven by commercial and social ballad, and not just there does the story end! This mega province that makes on the third slot of the Europe’s largest cities, spins and swings one in the Spanish vibes just as they hit the place! The contagious spirit infuses as soon as one lays his first step in the city and goes meandering in the wonderful and most exciting city of Madrid.
With the sun-shine ever smiling on the city for most part of the year, the place is a naturally lit podium that remains abuzz with some or the other [...]
