Yesterday was the first day of my driving lessons in the Netherlands. However, this has been my 3rd teacher since I first tried it in 2005. Driving as a topic evokes strong emotions on my part because I must admit that I do love driving. I have been driving for 9 years in the U.S. [...]

This huge national park located in Southeastern California, around 2 hours from LA is surely worth your visit. The attraction is not just the trees but the also the stone mountains. When I was there mountainers or [...]

At this moment, I am thinking that since I will be attending a conference in the UK for 3 days I suddenly thought about prolonging the trip by buying BritRail FlexPass and travel all the way to Inverness. I found out from the Britrail site that a 4-day Flexpass anywhere in UK and Scotland costs [...]
