A traveler’s guide to Mauritius island

Despite being only a tiny dot on the map, Mauritius really knows how to pack a punch. This minuscule island just east of Madagascar has avoided being overshadowed completely by its larger and much more famous neighbor, thanks to its lavish luxury resorts.
But go deeper into the island, and you’ll find more than blindingly white beaches and azure water (not that these aren’t reason enough to visit). Mauritius is more multicultural than one could imagine (the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, French and British have all left their mark on it), and loaded with unassuming but nonetheless interesting historical sights.
And in the middle of all these tourist attractions it is still possible to forge your own path on the island and see the more authentic side of life on Mauritius. Consider this island for your next trip to a tropical paradise 0 here’s a traveler’s guide to Mauritius island to tell you what’s in store! …

Summer 2010: 5 Great Places to Volunteer
Some people say that there is an age for volunteering (under 30) just like there is an age for cruising (some call it retirement). But this doesn’t necessarily mean that one cannot go globe trotting when he/she is 18 or volunteer after one just got retired. In the latest years, active vacations have become a contagious trend.There are plenty of under-developed countries and marginalized people that need all the money, know-how and enthusiasm of their more fortunate fellows, with no regard of their age. Most of these countries are relatively unknown to the average traveler, and are very likely to offer life-changing experiences. In many cases, a volunteering job will also get you free accommodation, meals and numerous possibilities for cheap traveling.
Even though some volunteering stages can be as expensive as $5000 per month, it is hard to say no to such opportunities as swimming with the dolphins in the Indian Ocean or living among the native tribes in the Amazonian rain forest. As we can consider the 2010 holiday season open, here are some amazing places where you can spend your active vacation: …
