I left Oslo on a cold and dreary December’s day. The weather matched any Norwegian’s mood, as even for us, winter can wear on the soul. I landed five hours later wide-eyed and grinning in sunny Marrakesh. Although only about 15C, the sun was blinding to my Northern eyes, and my entire face smiled, welcoming the Vitamin D.

When travelling, I like to wing it. This rarely gets me into much trouble, but it always adds an element of surprise. However, for an upcoming trip to Moscow, I knew I needed to be at least slightly prepared. I invested in Lonely Planet’s guide to Moscow because that’s the brand that ‘everyone’ buys, so it must be good. It was big and detailed and came with a phonetically-spelled map. Brilliant, I thought, I can correctly pronounce where I need to go. I read and re-read all of the warnings, suggestions, and reviews. They told me to dress very well and suggested that women never take taxis alone. Check and noted!

The Cayman Islands are three islands - Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman - in the western Caribbean, located just under Cuba and northwest of Jamaica.
Grand Cayman is, wait for it, the biggest island of the three, and holds the majority of the territory's land mass, population, and commerce, including the capital of George Town.
Cayman Brac is a funny sounding name that refers to "The Bluff" (in Gaelic), referring to the distinctive natural feature of the island - the large limestone outcrop that rises along the length of the island. Where it reaches the eastern end, the outcrop stands at 140 ft (43 m) above sea level.

At the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsula in Southeast Asia lies a little city-country named Singapore. It packs a small size but a big punch, especially when it comes to food, culture, eye-popping cityscapes over the water, and stiff fines for simple acts - as in, forget chewing gum while you’re here. It’s illegal.

Flagstaff is an awesome little mountain college town in the north of the state of Arizona in the USA. It’s a college town with a historical past, and a friendly blend of small-town feel with small-city modernities and amenities, filled with inhabitants of hippie tree-hugger spirit (and not uncommonly, dress) with real-world aspirations, aims, and contributions. Of note, with its high-altitude elevation at 6,910 ft (2106 m), it’s a great place for athletic conditioning and a number of Olympic teams as well as the state’s professional American football team come to train at the university’s athletic facilities.

Anetelope Canyon
It is what is called a “slot canyon”, a narrow canyon which is formed by water rushing through rock. These canyons are much deeper than they are wide, for example being less than 3 feet wide at the top but dropping down 100 feet to the bottom. These measurements can make slot canyons exceptionally dangerous to be in if you are caught in an unfortunate deluge or flash flood - especially since such flash floods can originate miles away on a day when the canyon itself receives little or no rain and come crushing in without warning, as it did when it killed 11 tourists in 1997 - but the strangely narrow, twisted landscaping that makes them so potentially dangerous is also what makes them so unique and beautiful.

If you have some time in the region, Penang, Malaysia is a cool little place to go explore for a few days. It’s probably not a place that would figure too highly on a relatively short timeframe in Southeast Asia, and definitely not a super short one, but if you are moving at a more relaxed pace and have already hit a lot of the bigger “must-see” sights and places of the region like the streets of Vietnam, the temples of Cambodia, and the beaches of Thailand, it’s definitely worth a stopover

I'm going to start taking you on a little tour of the world, methinks.
Why? Because the world is awesome, and you should get to explore it, if even just from the paragraphs of this fine website.
I shall make it a mixed bag of goodies for you - some facts, some figures, some history, some culture, some anecdotes and stories, adventures and misadventures from the places I've been to personally and can report back on firsthand, some useful or compelling or interesting information I find from places that are on my radar and Bucket Map and just want to share, and some stories that are relayed to me by my worldly friends who are out and about themselves, exploring and reporting in real time as well.

No worries, it makes senese that no other names than Mumbai (or Bombay) and New Delhi hit your head as you think of an Indian summer. Tags of this ancient Asian country may include Bollywood, Slumdog Millionaire and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but it's time to add Northeast India to its portfolio, more particularly Shillong, the education centre of Northeast India.
Flip through a Lonely Planet and you can just find a short paragraph about Shillong, and this hilly city is just famed among local Indians. But a trip there will definitely leave you in awe, for it is so not Indian and so not Bollywood.
