4 Caravans That Will Make You Want to Hit the Road

Caravans

Tabbert Paganini

Traveling has never been easier and more affordable, thanks to so many factors that have contributed to the popularity of this activity. Whether you prefer to fly, take a boat, or drive, there is always something to discover. And speaking of driving, there is something to be said about taking to the road and enjoying the freedom that it offers.

Going on a road trip – especially an extended one – is much better if you had the comforts of home. That’s where caravans and RVs come into the picture. I’ve always been a fan of them – what is cooler than lugging your home around with you as you bask in the pleasures of traveling? You decide what you want. You can eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom whenever.

Of course, you cannot disregard some important considerations if you go for a caravan. First, you need to make sure you have a reliable unit. Your life will depend on it, after all! You also need to consult with caravan insurance experts – to cover any circumstance.

And, just for fun, here are 4 caravans that deviate from the usual. Even if you’re not really that into caravans, I am pretty sure you will be enticed to hit the road because of these unusual designs. [Read more…]

Recently, however, TripAdvisor has gotten some flak from the advertising watchdog of Britain. The agency has publicly reproved the travel web site due to its claim that all of its user-generated reviews are genuine; that is, all of them are written by real travelers. [Read more…]

Choose Your Next Airplane Seat Mate Using Social Media

Airplane Seat Plan

Airplane Seat Plan


Anyone who has had to fly coach probably has experienced the nightmare of having an incompatible seat mate. If you are the type who just likes to spend time sleeping, reading, or listening to music, the antagonist in the nightmare is the seat mate who just will not stop trying to chat you up. Even when you pointedly put your earphones on. If you are the kind who likes to meet new people and learn about them, then you might be the antagonist.

Finger pointing will not do any good, though, as we all are unique in our own ways. The only solution is to be tolerant of others, isn’t it?

Think again! If you’re lucky enough to have the option of flying Malaysia Airlines or KLM, you have a chance to pre-select your seat mate on the plane using social media. [Read more…]

Goop City by Gwyneth Paltrow

Goop City

Truth be told, I couldn’t care less about Gwyneth Paltrow. Okay, she made for an awesome Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies. I especially love how she delivered that line about occasionally taking the trash out. But for the rest, I can’t really be bothered.

So why am I posting about Gwyneth Paltrow having an app up in the iTunes Store? Because it is so ridiculous! [Read more…]
