Not to toot my own horn (but kind of), I let you discover my articles on Things to do NOW if you are traveling internationally this summer and Tips for a successful Home Exchange both of them on Trekaroo.
Love the InFlightOut article on strategies on finding ‘free’ award travel. I have been using my credit card rewards for travel after hearing horror stories of other people not able to finding flights with their frequent fliers points. Or they need to book more than 9 months in advance. This article is rounding up everything you need to know to be successful.
Enjoyed discovering 12 unusual hotels in the world: my favorite is the Hobbit Hotel in New Zealand. Talking about unusual hotels, I booked the Safari Room at the Madonna Inn Hotel in San Luis Obispo and that made for some quite fun memories: my daughters can’t wait to go back.
I am passionate about The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires (Argentina). How could people torture others is beyond my understanding. One of my favorite movies is La Historia Oficial. It won the Oscar for the Best Foreign Movie in 1986. Rent it if you have never watched it. So I was very happy when I read the story of a father and son being reunited after 33 years ago. Heartbreaking.
Last week, I was contacted by Alan Rider from www.XTRORD.com for an article I am writing on unusual places to stay with children. He has a traveling blog with very interesting articles. I particularly like the post on extraordinary cruise ship alternatives. I have never been on a cruise and may never go: only the fact of staying a day in a city just does not suit well with my idea of traveling. I like to feel places and not count the number of countries I can hit in a week. But it works for some people and that’s fine with me.
