Play by Your Rules: Tips to Living True to Yourself | May 21, 2012

Kathie Truitt, author of The Hillbilly Debutante Café, one day found herself jobless and homeless, a paradoxical opportunity to completely turn her life around; a second chance. Kathie says, “I got rid of the socialite sweater sets, the business suits and pumps, which were not me, and went to what is me – vintage dresses and cowboy boots… I surround myself with the things I like; I have a country-style house, I drive a pickup, and, once a month, I take a ride out to one of the places featured in Southern Living magazine.”

You don’t have to have a lot of … Read More »

A Tour of Singapore | May 15, 2012

I would love to visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The gardens make up seven acres of land and consist of an array of trees, flowers, and fauna from around the world. Three lakes provide perfect spots for picnics or relaxing walks.

Thinking about the beauty makes me want to hop on a flight to Singapore. And, really, there is so much to do there that I just might!

There are many other cultural opportunities: The Asian Civilisations Museum, one of the best museums in Singapore, has amazing artifacts from Asian countries. Learn about the history of China, India, Malaysia and Singapore.

Classic Crete | May 15, 2012

If you want to truly see history, consider a trip to Crete.

The Palace of Knossos, a labyrinth of massive columns and beautiful frescoes, is the legacy of the sophisticated Minoan civilization that disappeared sometime in the 15th century BCE. It was also home to the mythical Minotaur of King Minos, according to legend.

The site was restored extensively by the famous archaeologist Arthur Evans in the early 1900s and remains a great tourist attraction for the island.

It’s not all about the history though. The diverse nature also awaits you on a Crete holiday.

The Botanical Park provides a lovely tour of the … Read More »

Peruse Portugal | May 14, 2012

I would love to spend a romantic evening at Cape St. Vincent. The sunsets are supposed to be the most beautiful thing ever, and the rocky coast rising 60 meters above the sea would be the best viewpoint.

This time of year I’m always looking for cheap holiday deals. To get the landscape I want to see for a low price, Portugal is my land of choice!

The Azores, a set of nine islands, is filled of flower-clad fields, verdant valleys, and lovely villages. A great place to relax and get swept up in nature.

If you’re looking to see some history, Evora … Read More »
