  • A Day Trip Itinerary to Isla Mujeres Mexico

    When you are in Cancun and find yourself sick of the hotel and tourist zone, head to Isla Mujeres. Literally named Island of Women, its location is close enough to Cancun for a day trip and can easily be done without the need to book tours through your resorts. Getting To Isla Mujeres from Cancun’s Hotel Zone There are four ferry ports that cater to Isla Mujeres, two of them are the most known and cater to the tourist zone area: Playa Tortugas and Playa Caracol.

    Expat Journey Through the UK and the USA

    Hi! I’m Ruby, you probably know me from this blog, or the other blog, through Instagram, Facebook, or on Twitter. You may even know me from offline so hello hello! You guys probably know that I work full time, and have been for nearly 11 years. However, did you know that I have been working full time with one company for the past 10 years, or that I was an expat for several years before I moved full time to the USA?

    Orlando’s Chocolate Kingdom (Review)

    On a recent Expedia activities deal, Peter and I decided to use the lucrative Expedia coupon ($25 off $30) for a tour to Chocolate Kingdom. Because why not, right? It was an activity we haven’t been before and who doesn’t want to sample chocolate? What’s Chocolate Kingdom? Good question, we didn’t know what it was either – essentially it is a boutique chocolate factory where you can take behind the scenes tours of how chocolate is made as well as its humble origins. Orlando’s Chocolate Kingdom Touring Chocolate Kingdom Chocolate Kingdom is located near Orlando’s International Drive. Tucked away in a small hotel complex close to the convention center, it…

    Things To Do in Bratislava: By a Local

    I’ve never heard of anything like it before, and yet it plays such an important figure in my life now that I know my husband was born and raised there. When he first took me to Bratislava in April 2015 on my first Central Europe visit, I did not know what to expect. Maybe just hints of the old communist world of tenement houses, and a bit of European charm. This article aims to give you the best of Bratislava and the things to do within the city: all from a local’s point of view (of course, we visited most of the touristy spots, but you get my drift). It’s…
