Making the HUGE move from rural Ecuador into Mexico a few weeks ago sure has us dazzled by the abundance that surrounds us.  I mean a plethora of options available in every sense!  Doesn’t that sound crazy?  When most people think of Mexico, they don’t usually relate that into having ANY creature comfort in existence, …

“Kashlee, how on Earth did you find a flight to the Caribbean for $188!?”…my inbox goes crazy asking for tips whenever I post about cheap airfare deals I find. Like the time I found business class seats on Qatar for the price of economy. Or when I found a round-trip premium economy flight to Mexico …

I can’t think of a more controversial cruise topic to write about. Automatic cruise ship gratuities… and the act of removing them.This is an extremely hot topic that has cruise line forums exploding with heated debates and arguments over the different opinions about tipping. It’s very divided. Both sides are equally passionate about defending their …

I think we can all agree, Tokyo is not known for its super affordable hotel rooms. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an incredible city, but it’s not going to come up on any Top 10 Most Budget Friendly lists anytime soon. Many people (especially with a quick stop!) will try and stay near Narita airport …

To say I am a passionate non-smoker is an understatement. Anyone that knows me personally can vouch there is nothing in this world I dislike more than cigarette smoke. Travelling to different countries, especially developing ones, can certainly be difficult for someone like myself, who is extremely sensitive to smoke. At this moment in time, …

“Hello, my name is Kashlee and I am a cruise addict….” Something I never saw myself saying, but it’s true. I have fallen hopelessly head over heals for all things cruising and there is no turning back. In fact, when I am not writing blogs about cruising, I am probably searching for a cruise to …

We’ve fallen head over heels for repositioning cruises and there is no turning back. They are without a doubt the best way to travel from Point A to Point B. When we find a great deal on repositioning cruises, it just makes them a ‘no brainer’ way of transportation and a great alternative to flying. …

Ahh, Istanbul – one of the most populous cities in the world that straddles between Asia and Europe, hugging the Bosphorus strait. It is a feast for the senses. In Istanbul, life is thrown in your face – noise, cats, pungent smells, hordes of people, grit, non-stop car horns, uncontrolled yet controlled, and I love …

Canada and South East Asia couldn’t be farther from each other. I mean that both geographically and in terms of day to day life. They are strikingly different. Spending 6 months (mostly in Vietnam) was certainly an adventure. I’m going to give it to you straight here: I loved it and hated it at the …

The first ever Casino in Hoi An, Vietnam has officially opened its doors. The Royal Game Club Casino by Synot Asean will cater to tourists that want to gamble while visiting the UNESCO protected Ancient Town. Hoi An has seen a large influx of visitors over the last 5 years which has seen the once …

Everyone can visualize the image of a classic African safari trip. A big savannah plain, with some thorny bushes and trees scattered over it. Across fields there are antelopes, giraffes and zebras all over the place, while in the bushes warthogs, lions and leopards are hiding, waiting to be discovered. The search for animals is …

Puerto Vallarta is our home away from home and we’ve been there more times than any other destination on the planet. The culture of the romantic zone, the perfect beaches that wrap around the bay and the great infrastructure keep drawing us back time and time again. The one problem though is the ability to …
