| When on a safari tour, you would expect a lion to chase you, right, or a rhino, ok? But here is an elephant threatening to flip you truck over. Although all these wild life representatives seemed to ignore completely this human-in-their-vehicles intrusion in their private lives, this particular elephant decided he’s had enough…

| Women-only tours! What a great invention! A chance to immerse oneself in various aspects of a culture: “shopping at the local markets, speaking with local children and paying attention to the color of the local stone and flowers." A chance that allows mothers and daughters to get beyond their roles in the family and discover "a whole new person."

| This is a visit to Placencia, Belize: a wonderful place, with untouched beaches and majestic palm trees. A place where you can go snorkeling and enjoy the only Belizean beer available and a cool oceanside breeze. But what would be a vacation without a real adventure? Find out about the exotic Patrick.

| Are You a Man? |

| Are you a man? What a question given the context. As if this is what makes a man - man, or proves a man - man. Often, it’s exactly the vice versa… in all senses of the word:) But that was not the case. It’s rather a surprising night spent in the land of the midnight sun.

| A very neat and concise overview of Ulan Bator, its culture and present conditions. When you think what a great people it was centuries ago, conquering land and subjugating nations. But now things changed and life is not the same for Mongolians.

| Lots of historical places, butcher's shops, thermal springs and store business situated at the main street. A gigantic forum and a theater show the cultural life of this time. The Dead Sea with its healing salty water, on which you can lay like on a soft couch and take a nap without fear of sinking.

| Biking Solo from Maine to Pennsylvania |

| This is a great bicycling tour of 827 miles. No parade and no fanfare at the end, “but I didn't need them. What I got instead were the memories of the dozens of kind souls who had poured out their hospitality on me, as I weaved my way in and out of their lives, out on the open road”. Courage and tenacity is required though for such an endeavor.
