Here are some small towns whose main attraction is the fact that they seem to be caught in a time-warp, and nothing has changed there in decades. If you want to travel back to the past, here are the top 5 US towns stuck in time. …

Malmo
When you go traveling for more than a couple of days, it’s usually recommended to find a friend or neighbor that will water your plants and pick up your mail, and I’m sure it’s not that difficult to find volunteers.

Here are some of the best pet friendly travel destinations that you can explore together with your animal companion. …

photo by Mr Bullitt
I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of movies where the protagonists are lounging on exquisite, sandy beaches ringed with palm trees, tanning and sipping dainty little cocktails.

photo by Infrogmation
The winter months are full of interesting festivals, which is just as well for those travelers who are not the adepts of winter sports and outdoor activities in January and February.
And if we’re speaking of festivals, we can’t possibly forget the explosive Mardi Gras, originally a religious holiday that blew out of proportions (in a good way) and now qualifies as one of the most intense, colorful and massive festivals in many parts of the world.
