The white sands of Tortuga Bay are pristine and inviting. The blue water is luscious and will lure you in. But be careful, rip tides are present in the area. Spend some time looking at the iguanas lazing on their paradisiacal beach. Marvel at how beautiful and untouched this place is. … more »

I love rock’n'roll!
The first guesthouse we stayed at in Quito, Ecuador, was owned by a local artist called Paco Viniachi. This man had converted every corner of the house, garden and street in front of his property into colorful art. Even the lamp post in front of his gate had paintings all … more »
The Movie Box
I am a sucker for Bollywood movies. My heart pumps at the thought of happy endings and the Indian movie industry knows how to deliver these better than anybody else. In Delhi, we came across this “magical box” that allows you to watch a movie inside, as you take a … more »
