There is no real way to capture or understand the enchantment of a Balinese immersion. There is something subliminal and sacred about the way all the elements of Balinese life flow together. Yes, even those scary ass dogs.
At the present moment I have a few friends heading to Bali, and as the January rain pours down here in San Francisco, I wish so badly on the stars in the …
When traveling to foreign countries where the language is literally so foreign, I found many tourists speaking LOUDER and s.l.o.w.e.r to the locals in a bizarre attempt to get understood. It seriously annoys me every time I see a traveler rudely turn their back to the waiter/market stall owner, throw up their hands and announce to their partner, “He just doesn’t understand! We’re wasting our time here, Harold. Let’s go find someone who can …
It’s so lovely to hear from other female travelers who are inspired and motivated by Travelettes.net. Especially from girls who are undergoing their travels right now, blogging/recording/filming their adventures for the world to follow and share their laughs, tears, traumas and memories. And here is a perfect example of such a thing: MISSADVENTURES.
O.k. let me introduce the Canadian threesome (plus camera-woman extraordinaire) who make up MISSADVENTURES.ca.
We have Ellie who wants to travel with Tom …
“When I fly, people forget everything they thought they knew about impossible.” -Seanna Sharpe
Is anything really impossible? I personally think it is a silly word that gets used entirely too much for the good of anyone.
For example, whenever I get back from a trip abroad people always tell me how much they wish they could just pack up and go on an adventure. “Why don’t you?” I ask, and they …
What do you get if you cross an artist inspired by Japanese art and street graffiti with broken, forgotten and disused surfboards? The answer: completely beautiful works of art. Kiwi-born, Tess Sheerin, rolled over to England in 2008 to pursue a successful explosive art career that has impacted the surf art-scene hugely through her fantasy- inspired work that depicted on recycled surfboards.
The artistic and surf-influenced town of St Ives in …
Tweed Ride. Sounds quite enigmatic doesn’t it?
Well, it’s pretty much what it says on the tin: people dressed in tweed riding around on bikes. This group bicycle ride began in London where participants were to dress in traditional British cycling attire on vintage classic bicycles to embrace the spirit of the old days and the fashionable vintage era of transport!

What’s a girl to do if she loves to travel, but hates to camp? Having to deal with camping trips with the confined spaces to sleep, the struggle of changing clothes while lying down in awkward angles, trying to stay hygienic when only a wet wipe is available… I personally don’t understand it and after experiencing too many camping trips where I wake up (usually hungover) in an oven of …
With all the recent press on Somali pirates and Kenyan killings, even the toughest wannabe G.I. Jane traveler could be forgiven for being more than a tad cautious about travelling through East Africa.
The country is probably known for three main things: big-game safari, amazing marathon runners and The Lion King. However, there is a host of differing cultures and religions within this one vast country; from the smog-filled bustle of Kenya’s …
It’s a phenomenon we all know oh so well. We sigh and go ‘tsssk!’ at others when we see them doing it, yet most of us are guilty of doing it ourselves at some point…
What am I talking about? That incredibly tacky pose tourists strike when they pose in front of a certain sight or landmark.
Whether it you’re ‘holding up’ the leaning tower of Pisa or pretending to be eaten …
‘Melbourne Cup’ is an age old institution and tradition of the state of Victoria, Australia. I admit, I had never heard about it in previous trips to Oz until I came to live permanently in Melbourne and heard about an event which allowed excited Melbournians to have a public holiday. I was now an excited Melbournian who got a day off… but what was this all about?!! It’s Australia’s major …
