Roaring Camp Railroad
If you are looking for a fun family adventure in the Santa Cruz area, look no further than the Roaring Camp Railroad. The adventure begins as you travel back in time to the old west. You arrive to the camp through a beautiful covered bridge. At the end of the bridge, there are many old buildings and artifacts that represent an era that many find adventurous, the Wild West.

10 Myths About Siberia and Why We Should Move There
When we think of "Siberia," most people form a false impression of the place. Many of us would imagine Siberia as a bitterly cold, desolate wasteland, inhabited only by prisoners exiled by Russian tsars for treason or by the Soviet government for being a bit of a nuisance. But in reality, this huge Russian territory, 13-million square kilometres in size, is among the most beautiful, diverse and interesting regions anywhere on earth. Whether you intend to pay a fleeting visit or settle there and morph into the background, at least you will be able to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Let us discover why this awesome location remains so unknown and shrouded in mystery.

Eyes Down: Numberplate Bingo Across 24 Countries
The quest ended on a Balkan road as a car darted across my taxi in the cheeky traffic of the congested city of Prizren. I glimpsed very little except the numbers of the registration plate which flashed past me like a small chorus line of tadpoles — 999.

Ghoul Times in Portland Oregon
Halloween, the ancient Celtic holiday that marked the end of the harvest and transition to winter, was originally called the “bridge to the world of the dead.” This “bridge,” and all its Halloween horror, isn’t confined to Celtic lore anymore. It’s waiting for travelers looking for a new road trip idea aside from fall foliage. And it's waiting for them in Portland, Oregon.

A Visit To Gates Town Park
Sometimes in my travels I find myself with nothing to do. No restaurants I want to dine at. No attractions I want to visit. Just do nothing more than relax. I have found usually the best way to spend this time is a little walk down memory lane. This was how, my friends, I found myself going down a short stretch of road that shot me out into Gates town park.

Mystery Spot
Just outside Santa Cruz, California amongst the massive redwoods there is a little known place called The Mystery Spot. The place sets itself apart from time, urbanization, and gravity. Yes, gravity. A short hike up the mountain side sits a small cabin that defies one of the greatest forces in the universe. How is that possible? It is a Mystery.

Worth the Gamble
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. I zigzag my way through the airport crowd, in between the hundreds of walks of life who came from all over the country and probably even the world to be here. Some traveling for business, others for pleasure—maybe for a little of both. A wild getaway of finer living with a touch of risky behavior and revealing outfits. It is good to be back—and to be of legal drinking and gambling age.

New Orleans
New Orleans is well known for the Mardi Gras. People from around the country visit to dress in costume, drink, watch the parades as they go down the small streets of the French Quarter and when the police aren't looking bare their chests so as to have beads thrown at them from people on floats in the parade.
