The Cooking School in Chiang Mai Experience

I have quite a number of reasons why I love Chiang Mai. One of the reasons, perhaps the most important, is the food. Thai food is good. I don’t need to convince anybody of that.

The Magic of Menorca

Note: This is a guest post.

The Balearic Islands have long been held as a perfect holiday destination, and it’s not hard to see why.

Clubbers and party animals will get their kicks in Ibiza’s lively San Antonio, or in the buzzing resort of Magaluf in Majorca.

Jungles And Mud Karts In Puerto Galera

As I walked along the road, the sun beat down. The jungle canopy stretched overhead; protecting me from the hottest sun rays, but many still landed on my back. I drank a mouthful of cold water.

Roughly 4 hours from Manila, Puerto Galera is a popular town for weekend getaways. It attracts tourists of all types. The Filipinos congregate around White Beach, a popular nightlife district, while the foreigners tend to set up camp around Sabang.
