VOL.01
People choose to live in some pretty baffling places, like those towns sitting at the base of volcanos or the precariously placed monasteries in the Himalayan mountains. Here’s one that looks like it might have been hit by a meteor and residents just decided to carry on as usual… Welcome to the town of Setenil [...]
“It’s not a symbol of harassment. It’s a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time! I clutched my shawl to me because that sheaths the body. It was my protection, my shield. I was walking through a sea of men. I was enjoying every minute of it.” In fact, the American girl, Ninalee “Jinx” Allen [...]
No American road trip would be complete without a stop at a trailer park palace! So for those with a ‘kitsch itch’ to scratch (note to self: google and see if I just coined ‘kitsch itch’), Nessy has picked out three hotels in the great ol’ US of A for the ultimate vintage (and dare [...]
Late night shopping in Milan, a stroll down a Croatian beach or a romantic dinner in Venice? Those were just a few of my options for under 50 euros return in one click on Drungli.com, an awesome adventure generator for spontaneous travellers.

While we might rely on passenger trains to get us to work everyday, in Cambodia people are lucky to see just four trains in service per month– that is if they don’t get derailed or break down (a common occurrence).

The Grounds, Alexandria, Australia Once a former warehouse and pie factory in the early 1900s, The Grounds has got to be one of the most beautiful and eclectic coffee shops I’ve ever seen. With a coffee ‘research and testing facility’ alongside the café, [...]
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is probably one of the most fascinating places on Earth, mostly because we know so little about what really goes on over there. What we do know is only what they want to show us. I’ve come across these rare archives of retro postcards and what looks like tourist [...]
There are no cars or motorcycles in the medieval quarters of Jodphur, India, once the capital of a princely state. Contrasting the burnt orange of the Thar Desert, the old city is painted in brilliant blue. Local guides say the houses were painted blue to indicate the homes of the upper-caste Brahmins, but others say [...]
I went on a mad spree this morning on Tumblr looking for some colorful urban marvels that I’d like to hop to and from if I had one of those teleportation thingys from Star Trek. Welcome to another edition of Travel P*rn™! Tbilisi, Georgia via here Georgetown, Malaysia Via here San Juan, Puerto [...]
At first glance I thought these were the abstract paintings of an artist. But no, this is planet Earth. The aerial shots by photographer Andre Ermolaev were taken above the volcanoes of Iceland as streams of water make their way down the ash landscape. “Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it [...]
