THE complete guide TO DIVING IN KOH TAO
Updated: 2/2/2020 | February 2nd, 2020 This is a guest post by Alexandra Baackes, the legend behind Alex in Wanderland. She’s also a PADI divemaster and a citizen of Koh Tao, Thailand. Koh Tao is a popular destination for scuba divers and one the greatest places people learn in the world! In this guide, Alex gives you the insider scoop on diving schools, prices, and the best areas for checking out sea life when you visit Koh Tao. Travelers in Thailand like to label their destinations neatly. complex island paradises are boiled down to one or two basic words or associations: Koh Phi Phi? Stranden. Koh Phangan? The full Moon Party. Koh Tao? Diving. Some of them are fairly well deserved. After all, Koh Tao is one of the world’s top destinations when it pertains to number of annual dive certifications issued — in fact, it’s second only to Cairns,…
FUKUOKA airport to HAKATA station & TENJIN: By Bus, subway & Taxi
Fukuoka airport is the main gateway to Fukuoka City, Kyushu Island, and even Chugoku region on Honshu Island’s (the main island) southern tip. It is the fourth busiest airport in Japan, next only to Haneda, Narita, and Kansai Airports. It is also connected to almost every other airport in the country and a considerable number in Asia. On the other hand, Hakata station is Fukuoka’s central station. most of the bus and train journeys in and around the city start and end here. Why is it called Hakata station then? Why is the central station not named after the city just like most Japanese cities? The answer to that lies in its history. Present-day Fukuoka is composed of two defunct cities: Hakata and Fukuoka. Yes, Hakata used to be a separate city until 1889, when it was merged with Fukuoka, which is now called Tenjin. Hakata station kept its name.…
On Board the Superstar Virgo: Singapore-Kuala Lumpur cruise
I had never been on a cruise ship before. I’m not even sure if I had seen one before. I had been on a ferry a number of times but many of them were short trips. I had spent a couple of days on a ferry once, when I was young, to general Santos City but there was nothing remotely elegant about the trip. We did not even have a personal cabin and there was nothing I could do but watch the horizon. A cruise ship complete with home entertainment facilities and buffet dining? Nah, never experienced it before. It was also my very first time in Malaysia. That’s why this trip is so special for me. It provided me many very first times. I was beyond thrilled.

OVERRASKELSE! I’M moving TO PARIS
Posted: 01/14/19 | January 14th, 2019 Ever considering that I first set eyes upon it, I’ve wanted to step to Paris. It was everything I’ve imagined it to be. A city that oozed class and history from its cobblestone streets, ancient buildings, cafes, restaurants, and Parisians strolling down the street. I loved the lights, the food, the music, the people, that special je ne sais quoi. I know I idealize Paris. I know living somewhere is a lot different than dropping in for a few weeks at a time. But I’ve always wanted to be the clichéd American travel writer who wakes up, has his coffee, and writes on his balcony or in some café while lingering over white wine for hours. I’ve always wanted to immerse myself in Paris. To learn the language and everything one could possibly know about the city. And so, considering that there is no…
Orange, der vælger på Rock Farm, Sagada
Den dårlige rejsende såvel som hans gode venner gik ind i caféen uden pleje i verden, end at blive siddende såvel som at sidde i lang tid. Turen til Bomod-OK falder, mens helt glædeligt var helt udmattende. (Forestil dig fire timers gåtur såvel som ned ad bakkerne til vandfaldet såvel som tilbage.) Vi valgte et bord, trak stole samt sad som stole var vores længe mistede elskere. Hvilken trøst! Det var først, da en tjener overleverede os menuen, da vi indså, at vi var der til frokost såvel som ikke bare for at sidde. Cafe Bodega Ponkan na Ponkan! Placeringen var Rock Inn såvel som Cafe. Mens det giver overnatningsmuligheder til rejsende, er caféen – kaldet Cafe Bodega – tilgængelig for alle. Cafe Bodega, der blev brugt til at være en stald, blev imidlertid senere omdannet til en stor spisestue og fremme en virkelig rustik såvel som hjemlig atmosfære. Interiøret…
Dejlig lufthavn til byens centrum: Old Town, Jean Médecin, Good Ville Station
Byen Good betjenes af Good Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), den tredje travleste lufthavn i Frankrig, der byder praktisk talt 14 millioner passagerer velkommen i 2018 alene. Det er også den primære indgangsport til den franske Riviera-region, der omfatter flere postkortværdige byer og landsbyer, herunder antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cannes og Saint-Tropez. Den gode nyhed er, at lufthavnen ikke er for langt fra centrum af NICE, kun omkring 6 kilometer og mindre end 30 minutter væk. Der er ikke meget opdaterede oplysninger tilgængelige online om, hvordan man kommer til den gode by, der er korrekt fra lufthavnen. I det mindste ikke på engelsk. Mange af de forslag, vi fandt, antyder at tage bus 98 eller 99. Men da vi ankom til Nice, fandt vi ud af, at disse busruter ikke længere er i drift. Hvis dit hotel er i den gamle bydel, Jean Medecin eller i området nær Good Ville -stationen, er den…

Jeg dukkede op i byens Medina lige før midnat, så godt jeg ikke kunne opdage det sted, hvor jeg ville bo.

Racisme på vejen: Et interview med Alex
Sendt: 5/31/16 | 31. maj 2016 Denne måneds interview kommer fra Alex, en 29-årig sort rejsende fra det nordlige Californien. Da han henvendte sig til mig tidligere i år for at tage et interview og fortalte sin historie og barrierer-racemæssige og ikke-raciale-han stod overfor og på vejen, vidste jeg, at han måtte vises her. Som en hvid vestlig fyr er min oplevelse meget anderledes end mange andre. Jeg står ikke over for mange af de fordomme, som andre måske, og selvom dette sted kaldes “nomadisk Matt”, betragter jeg det som en ressource for alle rejsende – og den eneste måde at gøre det på er at bringe tilføjede stemmer som Alex. Så i dag, uden videre, her er Alex! Nomadisk Matt: Hej Alex! Velkommen! Fortæl alle om dig selv. Alex: Jeg er en 29 år gammel fra det nordlige Californien. Jeg voksede op i en by nær San Francisco kaldet…
