Rent a Car, Abroad, Budget Travel, Travel, Travel Guide, Travel Tips, Renting a personal vehicle is one of the best decisions a traveler can make. By taking your transportation into your own hands you open up a whole new world of possibilities. On longer trips, a rental car means a degree of freedom you simply can't get with public transportation. Many popular travel destinations don't even have advanced transportation infrastructure. Without a car you have to depend on expensive taxis to get from point A to points B, C, D, and E. It can really take a chunk out of your budget.

If you've already made the decision to pick up a rental car at the airport, make sure you take the following concerns into consideration.

1) Driving laws

Driving laws vary greatly from country to country. If you're driving in an urban environment, you need to give local ordinances special consideration. Make it your business to learn the local rules of the road beforehand. In Canada, for example, road signs indicate which turns are permissible at an intersection, rather than the opposite. In the U.S., we're used to approaching an intersection and seeing a big red line through an arrow if a particular turn is impermissible. In Canada, you'll see a green circle around several arrows indicating which turns are permissible. The whole system can appear very cumbersome to an American driver.

2) Be aware of language barriers

Unless you are a very experienced driver, it's generally not a good idea to drive in a country if there is a significant language barrier. Unless you speak Chinese, driving in China will be very challenging and possibly dangerous. If

Studying abroad can be an exciting, educational, and positively enlightening experience. Most students who go through study abroad programs in their college careers rank them among the greatest times in their academic years, and this exposure to education in foreign cultures is not something to miss out on. Yet it can be overwhelming to prepare for these excursions. It's easy to get caught up in all the excitement and forget what is really important. Prepare in advance so that you can minimize stress, pack intelligently and economically, and make sure not to forget the essentials in favor of unnecessary items.

Remember that you're not moving forever. You're going to be coming back home in just a few months or less, so don't try to pack your entire life into a suitcase. Bring the essentials. You're obviously going to need clothes, and since you're moving for an academic program you're going to need your books. A laptop computer may not be absolutely necessary, but it is definitely better to have one. Be sure to pack all of your necessary documentation--passport,

Traveling the world is one of the most fun and fulfilling activities of all. Seeing new places, learning about new cultures, sampling exotic cuisine and becoming knowledgeable on local traditions are just a few of the many perks that come with a traveler's passport. And as much fun as it is to travel on leisure time, how great would it be to make a career out of seeing the world? Luckily there is a great market for traveling workers, you just have to know where to look.

There are few things more exciting than traveling abroad, but one of them might be all the exciting goodies you get to bring back to your friends and family when you return. It can be an art form, selecting the perfect gift for your closest pals and immediate family members when you take a truly awesome trip. Bringing back the best bauble gives your friends more than just a gift -- the right present tells a story, starts a conversation.

Understandably enough, one of the very first things you'll want to consider when picking out gifts is the friend for whom you're buying. Take stock of all the people you think should get souvenirs, and make yourself a mental list. Most vacation destinations don't make their gift selections cheap, so keeping the list short can be a good thing. If you find yourself facing the need to commit your list to paper, you might want to rethink it unless you're working with a nearly-unlimited travel fund.

By creating yourself a mental list and thinking briefly about each person's preferences, you can save yourself a lot of gift-buying hassle. Consider each person who will be getting a gift from your trip, and think about their favorite things. No need to go overboard -- just keep your friends in mind as you begin your trip. This way, you can pick up their souvenirs as you go. There's no need to go on a dedicated trip, and spend a bunch of money in a market taking advantage of tourists willing to spend a ton on overpriced trinkets.

Gifts, Gift, Vacation, Best Gift, Perfect Gift, Souvenirs
When you do your gift-buying as you continue along your vacation, not only do you (typically) wind up saving money, but you get to give gifts with experiences attached. The best gifts come with a story, and when you buy your souvenirs as they present themselves throughout your vacation, you get to let your friends' presents come to you -- and then tell the story of exactly how that happened.

The best gift is a gift that tells a story, and you want to make sure the story your gift tells closely involves the location of your vacation. Get things that are local, and even integral to local culture or customs. And they should always be things that aren't available in the US -- or at least not in the areas where your friends and family are from. If they can get your gift in the shop around the corner, then there's not much significance solely in the fact that you got it from somewhere far away.

Handmade goods are always a fantastic option for a vacation gift. Not only does this support local artisanship, but it

When you're traveling, there's almost always more than one way to get around the area and see the things that you should be seeing. There are few things worse than a trip that winds up feeling like a missed opportunity because you didn't have time to get out and see all of the tourist attractions that you want to see. But how do you make sure you have time to do everything you want? Sometimes your situation works pretty hard against you, and seeking a little bit of outside help can wind up meaning the difference between the trip of a lifetime and a serious disaster (although, either way you'll wind up with a conversation piece when you get back).

Tour Guide, Travel, Travel Guide, Travel Ideas, Vacation, First and foremost, finding a good tour guide can provide a means to crossing the ever-hindering language barrier if you're staying in a place where your language isn't spoken. Nothing makes getting around harder than not speaking the same language as anybody else, so finding and linking up with a tour guide who speaks both yours and the local tongues can be a huge life-saver.

A tour guide, believe it or not, can also be the key to saving a whole lot of money. Sure, you'll have to pay to hire your guide in the first place, but a good find will show you where to eat and buy things at a serious bargain. The best tour guides know the best locations, and if shopping is your thing, or if you simply need to eat and purchase things, a good tour guide will likely know exactly where to avoid the typical overcharging of popular tourist locations.

Safety is another important aspect of visiting a faraway or foreign place, and a tour guide will definitely help establish a precedence of safety that will have you and your group (if you're not traveling alone) feeling as comfortable as possible. A tour guide can help to steer you clear of the dangerous or unsafe parts of town, and can help you negotiate any misunderstandings you might happen to have with local law enforcement or any other authority figures.

All this being said, however, the most important reason to hire a tour guide is simply so you can make the most out

New York may be ‘the city that never sleeps' but Hong Kong is the city that never stops. Sophisticated and cosmopolitan it boasts eclectic cocktail bars, pubs, restaurants and clubs, all buzzing with life.

Shek O often overlooked and forgotten is a perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.
It has a real beach holiday atmosphere where you can grab great thai food, fresh coconuts and a cold beer before catching some beautiful rays. Your own perfect paradise!

For the hot party goers head to Wan Chai where you could be sipping a rare craft beer out of a dirty crystal chalice and still feel like you’re doing something terribly naughty. Unable and reluctant to shake off its history as the port of call for prostitutes the "World of Suzy Wong" is still alive and kicking. On Wednesdays, ladies drink free. Always a bonus for us girls (and boys!)

If you’re looking for Jazz clubs, bars, upmarket bistros and pleasant restaurants then look no further than Lan Kwai Fong set in a small square of streets in Central, Hong Kong it is the perfect venue for a night of fun and pleasure.

Soho (South of Hollywood Road) Head up to the entertainment zone of Soho along the longest escalator in the world and stop off at the array of restaurants on offer from English pub style, Italian cuisine to local fare produce. With its western ambience you will not feel too far from home for all you homesick travellers.

Foodie confession time: I’ve eaten at a certain well-known fast food restaurant in at least seven countries that I recall. In my youth, far from home, I was comforted by the familiar saltiness of French fries and was intrigued by the slight variations in ketchup on the burgers. I might even have a hamburguesa wrapper tucked away in a scrapbook.

Now that my palate has expanded and I’ve learned more about the importance of local food, my taste buds have become an integral part of exploring wherever my travels take me. Terroir is something that has long been appreciated in the world of wine; I’ve discovered that it applies equally well to foods. Every meal provides the chance to learn a little more about the culture, heritage, environment, and taste of a given
location.

Travelling is always an exciting experience, but it can be dangerous as well. Many travelers find themselves sitting in cramped airplane cabinets, breathing recycled air and spending hours in close quarters with possibly sick passengers. Destinations may be breeding grounds for germs that are relatively harmless to locals, while newcomers find themselves fighting off illness due to a lack of conditioned immunity. This shouldn't scare anyone away from the many joys of travel. Indeed, the experiences found far away from home can be the most memorable and precious. However, it is vital to your health to maintain a strong immune system while you travel.

Try to incorporate foods rich in probiotics into your daily diet to build up immune defenses even before travelling is a consideration. Fermented foods and cultured dairy can be excellent additions to your diet. Be sure to take in lots of fiber and consume foods that are easy on the digestive system. Dense, overly processed foods should be avoided as much as possible. Stay active to keep good circulation throughout the body, and you'll be off to a healthy start.

Load up on vitamin C. The positive effects of this essential vitamin have been known to us for years, and it is possibly the most common and reputable immune booster still. Get into the habit of eating plenty of fruit and drinking lots of vitamin rich juices. A solid vitamin C intake is part of the foundation for a healthy immune system for your entire life. Commercially available vitamin rich drink mixes also work well for many. Emergen-C is packed with vitamin C

Healthy Travel, Travel, Travel 101, Vacation, Vacation Preparation, Do's and Don'ts, Safety First, First Aid Kit, EpiPenThere's more to planning an amazing vacation than shelling out beaucoup bucks for first-class plane tickets and a 5-night stay at a resort hotel. Aside from the major points of getting yourself from here to there and securing a place to rest your head, there are all kinds of details that must be attended to if you're going to enjoy a worry-free vacation. And one of the things that people often neglect to consider is the possibility of illness or injury. While most vacations won't take you too far from the pharmacies and hospitals that can offer medical solutions to such problems, you might want to prepare yourself for the fact that you could face additional difficulties securing care, especially when you travel to foreign countries. Your insurance may not be accepted, you might have trouble getting prescription refills forwarded to a new pharmacy, and you may not be able to find exactly what you're looking for. So here are a few precautions you should take on the health front before you head to the airport.

1. Stock up on prescription meds. This is an absolute must. If there's a chance you could run out of necessary prescriptions during your vacation, don't count on being able to refill them at your destination. Instead, make sure you're stocked up before you go so that you don't have to deal with this unfortunate hassle during your trip.

2. Bring your EpiPen. If you suffer from severe allergies, it's important to make sure that you have proper countermeasures on hand, mainly in the form of an EpiPen. The reason for this is that you could face a language barrier with your caregivers in a foreign country, and a situation where you're going into anaphylactic shock is not one where you want to be flipping through your language guide to find the right translation.

3. Order a medic alert bracelet. Anyone with a serious medical condition should not travel without some kind of identification that will impart essential data to medical professionals in the event of injury or accident that leads to unconsciousness. Suppose you're allergic to penicillin or iodine, both common to hospital settings. You could

This is a rather tough question because there are so many variables to consider before you can make an informed decision. You'll want to figure out which is more cost effective, the amount of time that could be gained or lost by choosing a particular form of transportation, whether or not there could be hassles associated with each, and of course, the relative availability of these types of transport. And each of these concerns will vary by the region you are visiting (amongst other things). So here are just a few issues to tackle before you hop a plane and head for your destination.

Rent a Car, Travel, Transportation, Travel Tips, Budget Travel,


The first thing to consider is the cost that comes with different forms of transportation. In most cases, renting a car will be the more expensive option, not only because of the sticker price, but also due to the added costs of fuel,

There are certainly many types of cuisines throughout the world. American cuisine, Italian cuisine, French cuisine, the possibilities are endless. However, one of my favourite types of food is Asian cuisine. One of the most popular types of Asian dishes to date is yes, stir-fry. Stir-fry, originating from China is incorporates two types of cooking techniques. Chao and Bao, chao is similar to western style "sauteing" but instead using a wok. Bao is similar to Chao but the wok is heated to a dull red glow, ingredients are cooked consistently with no stopping in between, unlike chao. Today's recipe is one of my favorite recipes to make, inspired by my trips across Asia and from local restaurants around here that also does great catering in London Ontario .

August is now more than halfway over, and many people across the world are packing their bags for their favorite tropical destination. There's no better way to unwind before the hectic schedule of fall than to escape to the sun and sand of a foreign shore, sipping umbrella-topped cocktails and listing to the breeze blowing through the palm trees. But what to pack when you're headed to paradise? There are certainly some do's and don'ts that you should keep in mind when getting ready for your tropical vacation, to make sure you are cool and comfortable during the hot days and humid nights. Here is a quick look at the wardrobe essentials for your next tropical vacation.

Tropical Vacation, Vacation, Travel Pack, Winter, Summer, Wardrobe, Outfit, Travel, Fashionable Travel,

Before you hop on the plane, do a quick bit of research. Although you'll find tons of books in stores and at the library that can help you out, most tropical vacation spots now have websites filled with all of the info necessary to help you plan your wardrobe. You'll want a clear understanding of the local climate, especially if you happen to be traveling during rainy season. And you also want to keep in mind any local customs or resort dress codes that could impact your choices. Regardless of how laid back the tropical locale of your choice might be, make sure you at least pack one upscale outfit, for a special dinner or night out on the town. And if you plan on taking any extensive boat trips you might want to pack a pair of closed-toe shoes, to avoid any slippery mishaps.

Tropical Vacation, Vacation, Travel Pack, Winter, Summer, Wardrobe, Outfit, Travel, Fashionable Travel,


Now that you have a good feel for your destination, it's time to turn your attention to the basics for your tropical vacation. If you're flying in from a cool climate, you might want to pack a pair of sandals and a lighter outfit in your carry-on baggage. You may have a taxi or train ride to navigate before reaching your hotel, and sweating it out in 90-degree heat just won't do. That strategy will also keep you safe in case your luggage is lost or delayed in transit.

3. Seolleongtang (Oxtail Soup)
Oxtail soup is made by simmering bones over a low flame for an extended of period of time, resulting in a hearty, rich broth with a milky white color. While the soup has a unique flavor of its own, it’s often seasoned with black pepper, red pepper paste, salt, and green onions.

4. Samgyeopsal (Grilled Pork Belly)
Samgyeopsal consists of fatty pork belly meat similar to bacon, and commonly grilled right in front of the eater.

Study Abroad, College, Study abroad programs are one of the most enticing aspects of higher education. Every year, thousands of American undergraduates climb over each other to claim these selective opportunities. If you think it sounds like fun to spend a semester (or two. Or three...) "studying" in another country, then you're not alone.

These programs have a reputation for being light on academic rigor and heavy on the sangria. While that may sometimes be the reality, most study abroad programs are viewed as an asset on a student's resume. Employers and graduate schools understand that study abroad experience is an invaluable experiment in cultural immersion.

So what are the best majors for studying abroad? You can't, after all, spend six months in Serbia if you're pursuing one of the many online social work degrees. The truth of the matter is: some majors are routinely selected to go abroad in greater numbers than the rest. If you're dead set on spending part of college overseas, consider declaring in one of these five academic departments to increase your chances.


1) Foreign Language
This is the obvious answer. Some foreign language programs even require their students to spend time abroad. There's no better way to learn a language than to immerse yourself in it. By that logic, studying abroad is one of the best decisions a foreign language student can make. You don't have to box yourself in with traditional options either. A Spanish major could study in Argentina or El Salvador, while a French major might opt to spend the spring

There are some international calling cards companies to charge after your first call or when it gets connect first time. It’s a scheduled fee which can be applied weekly, semi-weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly.

Communication Fees

Aside from the fees mentioned above when using international calling card to call your loved ones from your home back in another country, there are also communication fees that some companies impose on their users.

Increment Minutes

There are some international calling cards companies that apply increment fees on minutes of calls you make. Some of them apply one minute of rounding while others use two to five minutes of minute rounding.

Above are some fees you should be clear about when using international calling card to call your loved ones back home. Avoid those companies that impose hidden charges on their prepaid phone card service. It won’t help you save money by using prepaid phone cards, and in fact, it may even become a burden on you. Of course using international calling card to make international calls is more advised if you move around a lot for your business. However, check out international calling cards before signing up for any one of them. Try to compare them with one another to make sure you’re making the right choice to choose them as your prepaid phone card supplier.

Traveling domestically with children has its challenges. International travel has an entire set of issues of its own; lines in customs, long flights, new foods, and new people. If you are armed with some tricks of the trade and prepare sufficiently, you and your little ones can have an amazingly fun trip to remember always.
The first thing to do when traveling abroad is to apply for your child's passport early. Make sure you allow several months before your trip to receive the passport. Expecting a passport weeks before travel is asking for trouble. You also want to make sure there is enough time left before your passport expires when planning your trip. Some countries require that you have at least 3 months remaining before a passport's expiration. When you get the passports, copy them and leave in a safe place in case original is lost or stolen while on your trip.

Another pre-trip necessity is a visit to the pediatrician. Notify your child's pediatrician of your upcoming trip. Let them know what your destination country is. Make sure your child has all of the proper immunizations necessary to remain as safe as possible at your destination.

Passports and immunizations done make sure you have travel insurance. Children get sick. You want to be prepared if your little one needs medical attention abroad. One suggestion is to pay for your trip with a credit card. Credit

Traveling to a foreign city can be an experience that you will never forget, and create memories that you will forever cherish. Due to cost and your schedule, the chance to travel is not always as often as you might like, so making the most of your time is crucial.

The first thing to consider when traveling is how long you can stay in a given city and the basic plan of what you want to do there. Some people like their vacations to consist of lots or rest and relaxation, while others want to keep themselves as busy as possible to get all the sight-seeing in. If you are the type to want to relax on your vacation then maybe look for a city by a beach so you can sprawl out and get a tan all day long. For the more active travelers, try to find a spot with lots to do, whether it is skiing or soaking in the history of a city, make sure you cater your trip to whatever you're interested in. In addition to picking the city, make sure you select the most suitable hotel, hostel, or bed and breakfast. Comparing prices and features is always a good idea before booking a reservation, and also try to pick one close to the attractions you want to visit.

When you get to your hotel make sure to check with the receptionist or concierge on what tourist attractions are

The belief that Paris is Europe’s undisputed gastronomy capital is outdated at best. In recent years, several other European cities have stepped into the limelight and won over the taste buds of tourists. Italy boasts several culinary contenders, including Sorrento, Siena, Rome, and Florence, the last of which has become a particular tourist favourite; Copenhagen, San Sebastian, and Barcelona also receive honourable mentions. But perhaps the most surprising city to claim a spot in the world culinary competition is London, a city that has suffered from a negative—if bland—culinary image for far too long.

Over the past decade, London has been lauded by food critics and tourists alike for its gastronomic diversity and innovation. In fact, four London restaurants made the list of the Top 10 European Restaurants on TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards 2012, putting the rest of Europe to shame. What makes London an exciting culinary destination is that in recent years, the city’s increasingly multinational population has been reflected in its culinary offerings, with eateries ranging from South Asian to South American influence sprouting up throughout the city. In addition, the slow food movement has played a part in the reimagining of the traditional English diet. But there’s still

Pros and Cons, Medical Tourism, Tour, Travel, Travel Ideas, Travel Tips
There's no getting around the fact that the United States healthcare system is in trouble. As a nation we spend a massive amount of money on medical issues each year, many more times what most other wealthy countries do. Obama's medical policies have been hotly-contested, and although it recently passed a large governmental hurdle, most people still aren't clear if the bill does enough to solve the problem. At the same time, millions of Americans go without healthcare due to the prohibitive expense, and the health insurance than many people carry is insufficient, especially for lower income mothers and the elderly. Due to all of these issues and many more, people are looking outside of the United States for their costly medical issues, and it's actually created something of a medical tourism industry. The basic idea is to find a country with quality doctors that can perform your required procedure at a fraction of the American price. You travel there, have the procedure, and then continue on with your vacation. It saves a great deal of money while also giving you a relaxing way to rehab from a major or minor surgery. But no strategy is perfect. So what are the pros and cons of medical tourism?

The positives start with a large savings of money. Regardless of the surgery, it will always be cheaper internationally than within the United States health system. So you don't have to worry about some backwoods hospital with a questionable medical staff. You can choose a destination you wanted to travel to anyway, and then take your pick of highly-decorated doctors and excellent facilities. Even with the travel costs, you'll always save big. And some destinations are actually even creating discount travel packages around medical tourism, encouraging visitors to stay after their procedures and enjoy the host country.

Another great benefit of medical tourism is limited waiting time. Many procedures in the United States require you spend time on a waiting list, as there just aren't enough professionals to handle the demand. In other countries you

The economic downturn both here and internationally has had at least one benefit amidst all the recession issues, and that's inexpensive travel options. Tourism boards are doing everything they can to bring travelers to their countries, and most airlines and hotels are featuring deep discounts to drive business in these tough times. So if you love travel and consider yourself something of a foodie, you've got a ton of options. With whole television networks aimed at food and cooking, more and more people are expanding their horizons, and taking a culinary vacation has become something of a popular adventure. Most foodies pride themselves on enjoying local and regional options, and traveling to far off destinations to sample local cuisine is a great way to broaden your palette. If you're a foodie travel enthusiast, here are just a couple of the culinary vacation options you can explore for your next trip.

Travel, Culinary Vacation, Cruises, Travel Ideas, Vacation, Cruises have become immensely popular in recent years, as travelers get to experience a variety of destinations all in the same trip. They've also always been popular with the foodie set, as most cruise lines employ expert chefs and offer several dining choices for their guests. Now the foodie can find a cruise designed especially for their desires, with the advent of a cooking cruise. The culinary cruise, as described by the Cruise Vacation Center, draws all the advantages of a typical cruise together with a deeper focus on food. Guests can enjoy wine tastings paired with unique delicacies, detailed cooking lessons, and even book signings with some of the top chefs in the world. And if the cruise stops in a wine-producing region such as France, northern California or the Mediterranean, guests can also book shore excursions to some of the best wineries in existence.

There are some foodies who love nothing more than trying out a new restaurant and being pampered by the staff. Other foodies want to be a part of the process, and hunt down the most unique, flavorful recipes they can find to try
