Time to Travel to Mexico

Travelers to Mexico are treated to a stunning display of culture, hospitality, fine wine and great food and exquisite cuisine, art and history. They are welcomed to small country villages and vibrant modern centers.

There are a lot of people who told the tale oft he wonderful State of Mexico in Central America; the 10.000 km. The coasts have splendid beaches bathed by clear water, the almost one hundred million population and its over 50 dialects are instead the mirror of a colored universe, where the cultures, the civilization and the somatic lines have been mixed by now for many centuries.

I’ve been to the British Museum as Well

The British Museum is a must visit as it is the biggest tourist attractions in London. It is also one of the oldest, biggest and has one of the most complete sets of exhibits museums in London. The British Museum has over a whopping 13 million objects, making it one of the largest and most complete collections on human history and culture in the world. The objects come from all continents of the world. My personal favorite is the Egyptian stuff. They also showcase and document the story of humankind from the beginnings to the present age and the future.

The British Museum was established in 1753.

It’s so easy to get there – just ask anyone and they’ll give you clear directions in English.

Next time you are visiting London – don’t forget to pay a visit to the British Museum!

I Love Paris!

My first time visiting Paris, I had just turned 18. I remember everyday walking the streets and feeling a connection with the city and its people that I could not explain. Every part of old Paris held something very mysterious to me and every brasserie that looked like it had been there forever somehow seemed very familiar (maybe I bought some in my past life?)

French people love sitting in cafes and drinking their espressos and enjoy the peacefulness and assertiveness around them. No one appeared to be in a mad rush around town. As I sat among the people, enjoying each bite of my baguette while observing the throng that slowly moved in front of me, I couldn’t help but ask to around: what was so special about Paris?

Was it the culture, so readily obvious in every square, every narrow street and every nuke and corner? Was it the exquisite architecture, which I grew up with and could so easily relate to? Or maybe was it that life in Europe was so different from life in the U.S.?

Heavy Wine Drinking: How to get rid of hangovers

Wine could make you seriously drunk. I’ve been in that situation and it really sucks. Here are some basic tips on how to get rid of the hangover:

1. Drink loads of water:

This helps your body to flush out the alcohol

2. Eat more:

Good idea and believe me, it really works. Eat your favorite meal or some snacks an hour before a drink.

3. Milk:

Drink a glass of milk prior to consuming wine. It coats your stomach making it less likely to absorb the alcohol.

4. Aspirin:

Aspirin works wonder! Take a couple to help you rid the awful feeling.

5. Avoid dark drinks:

The major hangover you have been through may be due to combining red wine with whiskey. Never drink both at the same time.

Capucino Facts: Drink one when you are in Europe!

Some fact when you are enjoying your cup of Joe in Europe:

Type of Cappuccino

Base on the combination ratios of the cappuccino

1. Traditional Cappuccino

It is the espresso with the hot delicious milk foam on the top. The Thick of foam milk is about 1 cm.

2. Cappuccino Chiaro or Wet Cappuccino

More milk ratio than the normal cappuccino.

3. Cappuccino Scuro or Dry Cappuccino

Less milk ratio than the normal cappuccino.

Try ordering one when traveling. It really brightens up my day. Cheers!

The Secret to Travel Around the World Budget Style

Everyone wants a dream holiday – but not everyone could afford one. Take a look at my friend Jamie: She works as a school teacher here in the US but quite frankly her pay is nothing to write home about. Yet she always seems to be able to take the most fantastic holidays outside of term time. Amongst our group of friends she is known as the ‘Goddess of holidays’ as she always seems to be away on some Caribbean cruise or fine dining in Europe. One of her cheap vacations last year wasn’t too extravagant - she visited Argentina and stayed in some steel shack type accommodation, but when you are literally booking holidays at the last minute you have to be prepared to take the rough with the smooth sometimes.

All in all, I know that Jamie has had some great experiences and doesn’t regret any of the holidays she went. She’s one of the most experienced traveling people that I have ever met. A couple of months ago I invited her over to my house for dinner with an ulterior motive in mind – to know what her secret is. I had been inquisitive enough about her ability to finance her low-cost holidays for some time and finally my inquisitiveness had got the better of me. The second I had served dinner I decided to ask her how she managed to pay for so many wonderful exotic holidays each year.

She said in one sentence – ‘It’s simple, you just gotta shop around for the best offers’.

Cheers!
