Living in a 150 square foot RV can be a challenge for two adults, but add two VERY LARGE cats in the mix and we literally, are on top of each other. Fellow RVers and others have frequently been curious about how cats do on the road. In the beginning, NOT well at all. It was a mix of curiosity, shear terror and what appeared to be a cat’s version of a panic attack. Meet Kimchi (left) and Miso ... (c) The RV Nomads - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
At least once a month somebody asks me, “Where should I stay in Ubud?” To which my answer is, generally, “What’s your budget?” As someone who both backpacks and writes about top-end food, booze and travel, I can confirm that Ubud offers the full spectrum of places to stay, from uber-luxury through to simple homestays, not to mention AirBNB. To be honest, while I’m a big fan of AirBNB in city locations, I ... (c) EscapeArtistes - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

Since the 1970s, acclaimed American artist James Turrell has been creating light and sound installations called Skyspaces in countries around the world. Skyspaces are specially constructed rooms with an opening in the roof that frames the sky. Controlled lighting on the ceiling and walls of the rooms complement the color of the framed firmament as it changes throughout the day. One of our favorite Skyspaces is Gathered Sky, a meditative space at The Temple Hotel in Beijing, China. The ephemeral and intangible quality of light is the perfect subject for the hotel, which...

My Baltics travel was still days away from ending, but all I could think about was flying back to Bangkok. I didn’t dare tell that to Annette, however—she’d been far too kind to hear the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. “So help me god,” I laughed as she placed the rubber beaver onto the bread board. “Tallinn just keeps getting better.” Her smile was as warm as the sun that was apparently atypical for this time of year in the Baltics and Russia. “I thought you could use...

As a life long east coast resident, I can not help but to be curious and drawn to the people and landscapes of the West. As I write this sitting in Wyoming, a large state that has a smaller population than the city I am from, it is hard not to get caught up in the mythos of the Old West. While the days of the pioneers and complete lawlessness are long gone; cowboys, rugged individualism, and wide open vistas remain. In places like this you can still see the America of lore, that now-a-days seems nearly extinct... (c) The RV Nomads - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
There are a few natural phenomena that truly impress: total eclipses, calving glaciers, avalanches, tornadoes and, yes, erupting volcanoes.

Istanbul has been one of the world’s most culturally rich and historically significant cities for nearly 3,000 years. It has played a notable geopolitical role as its name has changed from Byzantium to Constantinople to Istanbul (which literally means “in the city” and is emblematic of its eminence).

Categories: Best OfStoriesBody: What a difference twenty years makes. When an intuitive, resourceful, creative couple lost everything in the devastating California wildfires of '93, they didn't wallow. They hit the road. Along the way, a literal journey became a metaphorical journey and they found freedom devoid of material items. A motorhome became their chariot, and the then-new Internet became their connection to finding their future.
