“The City of Oporto welcomes you with arms wide open” 

I made a little twist in featuring our travellers to add flavour to our usual write-up. I have invited not one traveller but eight.....yes, you read it right folks!

Eight talented University of Oporto Journalism students joined hands to make waves in promoting the city that they call their own.

But, where is Oporto?

6 Things to Do in the Historic Sultanate of Brunei

It is high time to blog about countries less travelled and seldom make it to a tourists' itinerary.  

One good example is the tiny country of Brunei or commonly known as Brunei Darussalam as its official name. 

It is situated in the north west part of Borneo, with the South China Sea to the north and State of Sarawak surrounds other side. 

My one-week of stay in the city of Bandar Seri Begawan gave me a good picture of an oil-rich country. It's been quite a while when I first travelled to Brunei and things has slight change since then.

The country of Brunei is so small that you can enjoy the place in so short period of time. Of course, that will depend on what you want to see.

If you expect a night life, then, forget coming to this country. There is no life at night I am telling you just now, besides, alcohol is prohibited here.

Montreal is One of Canada's Best Cities

I have explored the city of Montreal a couple of times. It is pretty cool out there.

Come with me and let us re-visit the largest french-speaking city.

Montreal is situated in the south of Canada’s Quebec province and framed between its famed peak, Mont Royal and the St Lawrence River, located only 37 miles (60 km) from the country’s border with the U.S.A. If you are travelling to the U.S., you may want to come by in this Canadian city.

Notre Dame Cathedral of Montreal

Montrealers speak French at home but language is not a hindrance to enjoy your stay as most locals also speak the English language.

Montreal has its multicultural population just like Toronto, however, it has much to offer for tourists in the form of more than 30 treasure filled museums, year round cultural events and festivals like the Fête des Neiges, the International Jazz Festival and the Film Festival.

“Travelling is the best way to leave your stressful life, relax while discovering new things”

Once again we are featuring a traveller from the beautiful country of the Philippines.  Yes, we are happy to have Darwin as an addition to our growing list of featured travellers.  Yes, Dharzie as friends call him, prefers exploring more of his country first before going outside of it.  I totally agree because I know how hard the government and the Filipino people work to make the Philippines a top tourist destination.  They all are striving hard to prove that there's a lot more to see and do in their country. Fun in the Philippines is more than you can expect and see in other Asian countries.
