Langkawi, an island off the west coast of Malaysia (close to the Thai border) is a popular holiday spot. Although you don’t find many Americans on the island it is very safe for US travelers and English is widely spoken. I spent four days on the island, which included my birthday. I decided to stay […]

My 5 Most Exhilarating Festive Vacations
by stayadventurous on December 23, 2013 in Events, Guest Post
While there are many who still prefer their home comforts when they travel, to visit only places where the locals speak the same language and where restaurants serve up the same sort of dishes as at home, for me, travelling is all about immersing yourself in the culture and customs of a country. And, there […]

I headed back to the main pavilion again on my second night to watch another Costa Rican sunset on the Osa Peninsula. With no rain this evening, I was not alone. Most of the guests of El Remanso Lodge were there with either a cup of delicious Costa Rican coffee or celebratory cocktails. We all […]
