A small twin engine airplane is the only way to get to Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak Borneo, and looking out the window you will be overwhelmed with the vastness of the jungle that lay below. Once you have landed on the isolated runway, you truly feel in the middle of nowhere.

When traveling to Laos, there are many places and sights to see. But one of the most unique and interesting destinations has to be the Pak ou Caves. Located near Luang Prabang you can hire a boat or songthaew to take you the 25 km down river.

In the heart of the Vietnam jungle, 200km of tunnels were well hidden from American soldiers. Originally built to protect the Vietnamese from French air strikes in the lat 1940's to 1950's, they were re-used during the 60's as a staging ground for attacks on American troops.

For years people have thought of Niagara Falls as the Honeymoon Capital of the World, but recently it has evolved into a world class destination full of excitement and adventure. Located just two hours from Toronto Canada it is worth a weekend getaway from the city or even as a vacation destination unto itself.

When visiting Ontario, a must stop destination is the Haliburton Forest Nature Reserve. Located just 3 hours north of Toronto, this incredible nature setting is a place to see all year round.

The Chao Praya River is a wonderful escape from the noise and pollution of Bangkok. I prefer to take the tourist boat. It is quieter, the seats are comfortable and it doesn’t spew exhaust that chokes you as ride along. Make sure to stop and sample some of the many attractions before you leave however, because the boat stops at every major tourist attraction along the river. These sights are some of the most spectacular in the city and a must for every tourist.

When visiting Peru, there is one place that nobody should ever miss. Machu Picchu is one of the world’s greatest ruins and a must see destination for anyone visiting this colorful land. Trying to understand how the Incan Empire built these structures so many centuries ago is mind-boggling and to think about how it has survived the elements and remained in tact is even more puzzling. It is truly a wonder of the world.

Cape Town, South Africa. “The most beautiful city on the planet,” as boasted by many travel guides. Now that's a tough reputation to live up to. However if you are lucky enough visit this southern gem, it will not disappoint. Not only is it a beautiful place to explore, it is also very reasonable at eight South African Rands to a dollar. You can stretch your money a long way there and spend as long as you want in the City known as the Mother of Africa.
