Cost cutting is taking other forms, as well. Many are opting for do-it-yourself home repairs in order ... more...

The Baltic might not be the first place that comes to mind when considering a luxury yacht charter vacation, but during the short Scandinavian summer, it's a magical place with warm breezes and almost 24 hours of daylight. Even as far south as Stockholm, summer nights never get completely dark, the sky just takes on a deep blue tint for a few hours before the sun comes back up again. The best time to visit is June to September, and like everywhere else in Europe, July and August are the mos... more...

The Mississippi River is the most important river in North America. Most people understand why. Between the water it supplies and its use as a water transportation thoroughfare from the north into the Gulf and out to sea, it's no wonder people call it the "Mighty Mississippi". Most people know how ancient the river is. It has forged its way through the continent willing other major rivers into its watery whispers, claiming their water as its own. It has shifted, changed cour... more...

Gotland, the largest island in the Baltic, lies almost equidistant from the Swedish east coast and the Baltic state of Latvia. This beautiful island, surprisingly unknown to foreigners, is a favorite vacation destination among Swedes. First-time Swedish visitors often comment that it feels like being abroad, perhaps somewhere in the Mediterranean. Having grown up on Gotland, I am perhaps biased, but from the medieval, walled-in cobble-stoned city of Visby to the stark, windblown, sheep-studded l... more...

It's difficult to find areas not overly developed for tourists these days. As soon as one is discovered, the world finds out about it and before long, it has lost its charm. Fortunately, there are still a few places that are untouched by mass tourism, where you have a chance to experience local life to the fullest. The Lakshadweep islands, off the Malabar Coast in Kerala, India, is one of those places. The local government has made it their mission to keep it that way too, by promot... more...

In Russia Constructivism is one architectural style that appeared ahead of its time.

A recent poll has revealed that many British holiday-goers are ashamed to admit where they are going on vacation. Many popular destinations are deemed to be too low-class by British society, including many popular areas of Spain. In fact, vacationers often lie about going on an expensive, classy trip when they actually go somewhere less expensive and common. What's strange about all of this is that most of these locations are actually quite elegant and luxurious. Topping the list of ... more...

There's almost as many way to find a good vacation rental in the Outer Banks as there are actual units to rent. And to be completely honest, you're actually going to be hard pressed to find a rental that you won't be satisfied with, no matter which island or section that you're looking at. The houses are generally of high quality and well maintained. There are certainly standouts; houses right on the ocean, houses with large pools, decadent furnishings or large pools. But... more...
