Sports Travel Insurance – Do You Need it?

  • by

Many people assume that travel insurance policies come in a generic one size fits all package and fail to read into the small print until it’s too late. If you are traveling abroad with the intention of spending time participating in activities such as scuba diving or water skiing, if you have an accident whist participating in these activities you may be shocked to discover that the standard insurance package that you bought will not cover your involvement in them at all.

It makes no difference whether you are a professional sportsman or just a willing amateur, they are looked on as being a situation is which you are putting yourself at risk and therefore the standard package has these activities excluded from the list of things that it will cover, leaving you with the prospect of facing expensive medical bills should something go wrong.Read More »Sports Travel Insurance – Do You Need it?

Drive the Golden Triangle in India on Your Next Holiday Abroad

  • by

India is an old and mystical country. It is also a country that is well known in popular culture, most of us have heard of Bollywood, of course. India also became more popular after the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Although it has always been a popular tourist destination, it has become a popular driving destination since the popularity of the program Ice Road Truckers. No, there are no ice roads in India! The drivers of the ice roads, however, wanted a challenge during the time they can’t drive and so started the world’s most dangerous roads series, India being their very first destination.

The Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is one of the most popular driving holidays in India. You do need a good seventeen days, including your travel to and from India in order to be able to enjoy this.

For instance, you shouldn’t drive at night. Since the country is so big, you do need quite a lot of time to drive from one area to the next. Hence, you need those seventeen days at least in order to be able to enjoy all that India has to offer.Read More »Drive the Golden Triangle in India on Your Next Holiday Abroad

Many of us with young children may look longingly at the travel deals to exotic or interesting locations, but the thought of traveling with children can be daunting to say the least.

Although it may take a little extra planning, traveling with small or young children can be a rich and wonderful experience for all of you.

Frank Gehry will not go unnoticed, and perhaps that “contaminates” the most important city in the world, creating his own works.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

In the best traditions it took several years for its realization (in 1987 the competition, in 2003 the opening to the public), and also a lot of money (the costs went up along the way), but all from the private, led by Mrs. Lilian and the Walt Disney Company.Read More »The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles
