Whether your ideal destination is tropical, historical or active, I'm sure we can find somewhere you can hang your hat for a few days!
A vast island continent, Australia teems with natural and cultural treasures. Relax on gorgeous beaches along the sprawling coastline, or plunge below the water in Queensland to explore the Great Barrier Reef. Nature enthusiasts revel in exciting adventures in the interior, from trekking around majestic Uluru to spotting wildlife in tropical rain forests. But there's more to life down under than outdoor activities. Cosmopolitan cities like Sydney and Melbourne entice with thriving dining and arts scenes, while world-class vineyards abound.
Made up of 700 islands—some busy and bustling, some isolated and inhabited by no one but hermit crabs and seagulls—the Bahamas offers an alluring mix of land and sea activities. From Nassau to Eleuthera, you can play golf on a seaside fairway, dive dramatic wrecks and reefs, and sail in crystal clear water. Accommodations run the gamut from simple inns to sophisticated retreats, from practical fishing lodges to romantic honeymoon hideaways. And for those who look a little closer, there's a fascinating and diverse culture to be explored.
A visit to the land of Homer, Aristotle, and Sophocles is a journey to the dawn of classical civilization, with archaeological splendors from Athens to Crete. The towering monasteries of Meteora and soaring Mt. Olympus inspire awe, while relaxing islands like Corfu and Santorini invite simple pleasures and a taste of the good life on the Aegean Sea. The Greek countryside presents the perfect coda with idyllic landscapes of cypress groves, vineyards, and olive trees, as well as dramatic coves with sparkling white sand and rugged mountains that plunge into the sea.
The beaches of Cancun, the golf courses of Los Cabos, the nightlife of Puerto Vallarta: Mexico offers enough seaside fun, splashy resorts, and piña coladas to fulfill anyone's sunny dreams. But travelers who dig a bit deeper discover a multifaceted country of ethereal cloud forests, colorful coral reefs, and stark deserts. From ancient archaeological sites and colonial-era cities like Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende to the pulsing modern metropolis of Mexico City, the country presents thousands of years of history and abundant up-to-the minute style.
I Drove the Most Desolate Road in Scotland
by Joe Sills
The remote roads of Scotland stretch north from Inverness and skirt Loch Ness before careening towards the Isle of Skye, all popular tourist destinations that many Americans know. But there’s a world of wonder beyond the main roads where medieval ruins mix with Iron Age tombs and lesser-known lochs with their own mysteries to solve.“
Don’t go to Skye,” warns Nigel, the 50-something host of an Airbnb near the village of Balgy, Scotland, about two hours by car from the Isle of Skye. “It’s a traffic jam,” he reiterates. “Applecross is better.”
Two days later I arrived in Applecross with a hard-earned reminder of the number one rule of travel: always trust the locals. A traffic-mired slog through Skye had almost withered my Scottish welcome to nill. And as Nigel’s words echoed in my ears, my travel partner and I decided to learn our lesson. From Applecross forward, we would ditch the crowded highways of Skye and the Lower Highlands and head north, to the Upper Highlands and a labyrinth of asphalt that feels as deserted as any lonely highways in the American West.
Ever since I can remember, I loved to travel. My first experience on a plane was before I was 1 years old. The first flight I took by myself was at age 13! As far back as I could remember, I would frequent different islands of the Philippines and Guam. This is probably where I get my love for the island life.
Traveling to me was a sort of therapy as well as a way to bond with my co-travelers. I had family all over the world, and my parents would send me to visit them often. We were very fortunate in that way. From Guam, to Canada, to New York, I would love exploring and speding time with my family.
When I finally had a family of my own, traveling was something I wanted to keep as tradition and expose my children to the world.
We have been to many countries and uncountable cities, trying to find the popular and less known areas of the world. I started planning family trips and cruises for the 50+ cousins and 20+ aunties and uncles. I had such a great time researching and choosing what experiences to have.
After a while, I would plan trips for others in the family and for close friends. I always thought I lacked some resources and thought I could do a better job if I had some training.... so....
Thats when I decided to take it a little more serious. My children are all grown up, and I needed something for myself. In comes Travel Bug Agency.
