Phu Quoc versus Phuket – the Battle of the Isles
Anyone who has heard of Thailand has likely heard of Phuket island, and I am sure, most of my readers have actually been there.

Photo Gear for Travel Photography – Cameras
If you are like me, you take A LOT of pictures on your your trips. Not only that, sometimes I make photography the main purpose of visiting certain destinations.

The Story of a Photo – Sunshine After Rain (San Fransicso)

Happy Lunar New Year!
I would like to wish all my readers in Asia and those who celebrate the Lunar New Year elsewhere a prosperous Year of the Pig! A pig represents luck, good fortune, wealth, honesty, general prosperity, and symbolizes a hard working, peace-loving, truthful, generous, indulgent, patient, reliable, sincere, sociable person with a large sense of humour….
How To Bargain On Your Trip
There are two schools of thought on haggling on your travels: pay whatever price you’re asked and don’t think twice about it, or you bargain enthusiastically. If you are a backpacker and travel to a third world country, I advise you to either bargain or keep in mind that you could bargain for just about…
