Thinking of travelling to Eastern Europe for something different? Ever thought about teaching English in Ukraine? First, an English lesson for foreigners to Ukraine.

I don’t know what I was expecting out of Colombia but I don’t think it was this. I loved it.
It’s an unavoidable truth that on a bright sunny day, the pavement and industry of even the greatest city can be unbearable. That’s why when a warm breeze is in the air and the clouds disappear from the sky, it’s time to escape the urban grit and head for where it’s green.
London has been a major draw for tourists in Europe for just about ever, and with good reason: around every corner you will find history and culture. Most people will check out Soho, Westminster with it’s Abbey and parliament and literary Bloomsbury.

Filipino dishes are combination of flavors—sweet, sour, and salty—that are remarkably pleasing to the taste buds.
A look at Caye Caulker’s channel, known as “The Split” that draws in locals and tourists alike with its laid back charm.
There’s no getting around it: London is an extremely expensive place to visit. It consistently makes the list of the top ten most expensive cities in the world. This reality is even worse for Americans who are dinged by the strength of the pound against the dollar. As of this writing $1 US is worth about 60 pence- that won’t go too far!
Although it’s not a large country, Jordan is rich in both its history and culture. As I learned traveling around this exciting country, food is at the center of everything. Luckily for the budget traveler, there are plenty of inexpensive and delicious foods that will satisfy any appetite.
