| No matter how much you hate a “package” travel experience, when in Kenya it might be the only option to see the wild life and it may turn out not too bad after all. Don’t be surprised of the libertine behavior of the animals – they are at their home in the wilderness and don’t care about your opinion.

| Here is a unique style of crossing Guatemalan borders free of charge. And this done facing a soldier with a machine gun, and entering a country in civil war. Sometimes and even often women can work up miracles in an amazing way. Then, you don’t recognize the woman next to you anymore.

| This is a trip to the caves in Kabayan to see the mummies the Ibaloi people embalmed. Unlike the Egyptians, they didn't eviscerate their mummies: the body was considered sacred, so organs could not be removed. The process was started before death. This account also includes the ritual of sacrificing a pig for someone ill.

| What an interesting way of crossing the border… well, not a surprise for me anymore. But it’s even more amazing how thing have changed the next day… And who would think a white woman, hiking through the jungle, would be such a rarity for a Liberian village.

| Meet Daouda Mbengue, one the most respected men in the village of Sindou in Senegal, West Africa. When an untrained volunteer arrived from the U.S., he looked beyond her poor language skills, her unskilled hands, and her queasy stomach. He saw that her heart wanted to help, and he made it possible.

| Vienna can undoubtedly pretend to be the most beautiful capital of the Central Europe. The gothic architecture of the cathedrals is indeed breathtaking. But the city attracts tourists not only by its traditional culture, but also by the modern constructions like the Prater attraction park or the bungee jumping from the observational deck.

| Nice is not only the world famous festival of film, but also one of the most favorable places to tan and have a dream vacation. Besides tanning on private beaches, you can make promenades in the old city and shop in fancy stores. Like the stars!

| For most travelers, the South Aegean coast of Turkey is a holiday resort and not much else. However, after spending some time, what looks like any other small town on the seashore, turns out to be the center of the beautiful people of Turkey. This makes Bodrum a really special place for special people.
