Monday, September 19, 2016 Road Trips by admin

“I have traveled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”

Alexander Graham Bell

I have taken many road trips in the USA and Canada, but one that has certainly stolen my heart is Cape Breton. It is a scenic highland in one of the most beautiful Canadian provinces – Nova Scotia. It has panoramic ocean views, rugged coastlines, countless beaches, a rich Scottish and Irish culture, dozens of hiking trails, and fresh seafood. Though Cape Breton is a less-visited destination, there is no shortage of stunning places to visit.

Menorca

Sunday, September 18, 2016 Uncategorised by Kyle Jenkins

Menorca is a natural oasis in the Middeteranian Sea, where nature and culture, old traditions and modern lifestyle converge century by century. Just like its sister island, Ibiza, it also has the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation due to its flora, fauna, landscapes and the traces from the prehistoric civilisations. 216 kilometres of its coastline retain white sand beaches, coves and caves being the perfect companions to any water sport like windsurfing, water ski, scuba diving and the sailing, which is one of the signature activities of the Balearic Islands. Its natural diversity is a gift for the travellers who prefer to discover the island by foot, hiking, biking or in by car. A visit to the towns of Menorca is a journey between the past and the present as every corner of the region preserves the immemorial Spanish culture and traditions. Feel the sensation of the time standing still, and the meals taste just as used to in the old times.
