Unforgettable Nights out in Temple Bar

Lifestyle

We’ve seen hundreds of great pubs and bars around the world, but for our money, you just can’t beat the traditional times of an Irish pub. The country as a whole is pretty famous for its drinks, with Guinness, Baileys and a whole lot more tracing their routes right back to the Emerald Isle. In fact, most of Ireland’s best known drinks have come straight from Dublin, the country’s capital city. Dublin’s great to visit, but there’s just a couple of problems – the city’s huge, and it gets pretty expensive. We took a trip round a couple of Dublin’s best bar and attractions and managed to do it all on a relatively low cost, so we’ve put together this guide to saving money while having a truly unforgettable time. First and foremost, don’t stay in the city centre. If you’ve ever been to a capital you’ll know how…

Considering Traveling this year? Here’s why you should take a Cruise

Travel

While there’s no doubt that traveling is an amazing experience, and allows us to grow, learn about the world, explore new cultures, soak up history and relax, when it’s actually time to plan the trip it can be an overwhelming experience, and travel itself can be stressful and exhausting. If you’re like many people, you probably only get a few weeks of holidays each year. And these can quickly be eaten up by the kids sick days, appointments, Christmas, and birthdays. This is why so many people attempt to see and do everything they can when they finally go on a trip, and end up burnt out and wanting to be home after days of relentless sightseeing. If you’re looking for a holiday that gives you the best of both worlds, and allows you to truly relax while also seeing plenty of new destinations, it’s time to book a cruise.…

Why You Should Consider an All-Inclusive Holiday

Lifestyle

All-inclusive holidays have changed hugely over the last 70 years, from something that only the top 1% could afford, to an “uncool holiday choice” that was seen as unadventurous, to a cost-effective option that can be tailored depending on your needs or the needs of your whole family. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider taking an all-inclusive holiday: Price Many people assume that all-inclusive holidays are crazy-expensive, and when you compare an all-inclusive hotel or resort to one which only includes your room, you’re guaranteed to see a big difference. However most people greatly underestimate how much they’ll spend on food, drinks and activities once they’re abroad, and when you’re staying in a “tourist zone” you can expect to pay more for incidentals and things like alcoholic drinks for mum and dad and ice creams for the kids. When you actually add up how much you…

How to Spend a Weekend in Brisbane

Travel

Brisbane often gets overlooked in favour of the Gold Coast, but this is a mistake. The city is packed with culture, history and fun, and has plenty of things to do for visitors of all ages. Brisbane is full of frangipani, poinciana and jacaranda trees, making you feel like you’re wandering through a garden, and in the winter locals will shiver if it looks like it might get cooler than 20 degrees. The steady climate also means that you can pack light, so if you need a new bag, be sure to get one before you go at Bags To Go. Your best bet is to arrive mid-afternoon so you can drop your bags at your hotel and freshen up before heading out to explore. Cross the river by visiting the CityCat terminal and climb the bridge to see spectacular views of the city. Once you’re finished gawking at the…

Travel

There’s nothing quite like rambling through the English countryside, with its dramatic dales, patchwork hills, winding roads and ancient woodlands. Those who haven’t visited before may be doubtful about whether they can keep themselves entertained, but with so many stunning gardens, ancient stone circles, quaint villages, crumbling castles and market towns, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Why You Should Visit Thailand in 2016

Travel

Thailand is the perfect destination for solo travellers, honeymooners, friends, and families. A large percentage of the country’s GDP is from tourism, and with a well-worn trail between the islands in the south and the mountains in the north, it’s no wonder why so many people return again and again. Here are some reasons why you should visit Thailand in 2016: Weather Sure, Thailand has a rainy season, but the weather is never truly chilly- although it can get cooler at night during the dry season in the north. But for people who enjoy sunset on the beach, wearing flip-flops and slapping on some SPF, you can’t get better than Thailand. Food Like Thai food? Try it in Thailand and you’ll open yourself up to a whole different experience. The food in Thailand has far more variety and flavours and a spicy kick that lets you know you’re in Thailand…

Hiking the Beautiful Nikko in Japan

Travel

I’m Jacob Laukaitis, a 21-year-old digital nomad who’s already been to more than 35 countries in the last almost 3 years. I enjoy making travel videos and sharing them with the world. Here’s my newest one from my hike in Nikko, Japan. Nikko is located a few hundred kilometers north of Tokyo. It’s a town next to a national park that’s also called Nikko National Park. The national park is settled on a range of mountains, some of which reach higher than 2,000 m above sea level. The entrance to the national park is free, but some of the most famous temples and shrines do require you to pay entrance fee.There are many visitor centers where they will assist you on any questions you might have. As everywhere in Japan, they’re incredibly hospitable and helpful. As most really nice places in Japan, the park is quite crowded especially during the…
