I haven't been yet and I've never been to Russia either...but if there is one country that truly fascinates me - mostly due to its history that the role it has played in the modern world - it's Russia. It's both thrilling and a bit scary just thinking about going there.

Extending across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe, Russia is by far the largest country in the world and also the ninth most populous nation in the world (with 142 million people).

In case you find your feet on Russian soil one of these days, why not include Russian River cruise to the many activities you plan on doing there? It could be a whole lot of fun. The country contains 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, thereby you won't run out of places to see and things to do.

Hurry! Plan your trip to Russia now.

New York City on a Budget The Flyaway Weblog

While I am now quite happy with my lifestyle in the Colorado Rockies, I still believe that at least once in a lifetime, everyone should pay a visit to the Big Apple. That said, the term "budget New York City" is almost an oxymoron. However, the good news is that there are many activities that can [...] Read More

Cuba's Hostels

Filed in archive Latin Travel on April 6, 2010

I came across a blog recently that has descriptions of 70 different hostels and hotels in Cuba.

While there are other locations on the web where you can find hotel info on Cuba, the write ups here are fairly detailed and the volume of reviews here gives you a nice place to go to see a large collection of Cuban hotels.

Cuba is experiencing a growth in tourism. That growth could expand greatly if the US drops restrictions on American citizens visiting Cuba. Of course, before Communism Cuba was the tourist destination in the Caribbean. With it's beaches, unique culture, and history, Cuba is likely to see that status restored (eventually) if the US travel restrictions are relaxed and the government of Cuba continues to move (even slowly) toward freedom and openness...

Carry along your drug prescriptions to Riviera Maya
© dMap Travel Guide
You have been toiling the year round and now you have decided to take a week off. I would suggest that you take a trip to Riviera Maya which is a major tourist destination frequented by travelers across the world. It is a romantic destination where you can enjoy a great night life and amazing sports facilities.

Some of the destinations worth visiting in Riviera Maya are as follows:

Playa del Carmen

This is a great place which is known for its white sandy beaches, jungles and oceans.

Cozumel
Here you can go snorkeling or scuba diving in crystalline blue waters and get a chance to watch more than 250 fish species.

Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve

This reserve is situated on 1,300,000 acres of land and is home to mangroves, tropical forests, coral reefs and lagoons. It is also a habitation of variety of bird's species and land and sea animals.

Xcaret
This is one of the most precious eco archaeological parks in Mexico and has countless attractions reflecting Mayan culture.

And before I sign off, don't forget to carry along drug prescription if any advised by your doctor.

Your Decoration Can Tell Your Story Latina Viva

Seen that? - Your Decoration Can Tell Your Story
For me, home Decoration is a very personal matter. Something like my wardrobe; I dress myself according to my taste and personality (and my budget, off course); I like to think that my clothes are an expression of what and who I am. That, applies to my home as well; almost every piece of my decoration has some sort of significance for me. A special doll from my childhood, an [...] Read More


Are you Proud of Your Latin Heritage? So, Why Aren't You Proud of Your Latin Curves as Well? Latina Viva

Yesterday I wrote about Fitness' inaugural Mind, Body, Spirit Superstar, Daisy Fuentes, and shared with you some excerpts from Daisy's interview. Daisy Fuentes said about Hispanic women's pressure to be thin: "There's a part of you that really wants to embrace your curves, then there's society saying no one likes curves." When I was growing up, the famous women who were role models had curves. Of course they weren't exactly "real women", [...] Read More

Decorating your home The Parenting Weblog

When I first moved out of my parents' house, I was excited. Not because of the freedom that living alone will give me but more because it will also give me the chance to decorate my own place the way I wanted to.
