Visiting Mt. Lassen National Park

October 15, 2025 by Oliver AaquistLeave a Comment

A part of the Cascades range, Mt. Lassen is a dormant volcano outside of Chester, California. While the volcano is considered dormant, it last erupted in 1915 and has many geologically active features, such as mud pots and hot springs. During the winter, this park is nearly inaccessible due to snowfall, but from late spring to early fall, it is a paradise for outdoor explorers and day trippers alike. Much of Mt. Lassen National Park can be … [Read more...]

What Makes Heritage Tourism in Uganda Unique

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Heritage tourism is an un-sounding topic in Uganda’s tourism sector as it is concealed in the dark.

Famous for her beauties such as wildlife and amazing landscapes, the Pearl od Africa is full of extra ordinary people, with different lifestyles, customs and backgrounds. It … [Read more...]

America’s national, September and October

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Forget the summer gridlock. The real story of America's national parks is told in September and October, during the "secret season." This is when the crowds disappear, the weather is perfect and the landscapes transform. The post-Labor Day slump is a traveler's dream. With schools back in session, parks like Zion, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are no longer at peak capacity. This means a more intimate and enjoyable experience. The intense … [Read more...]

Penang Hill or Bust & the Lights of Kek Lok Si Temple

August 1, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

My friend dropped me off at the base of Penang Hill. He had strongly recommended I climb this in the early morning, but the night before we were out until nearly midnight enjoying the Chinese New Year festivities. Borrowing his umbrella, a lifesaver from the hot tropical sunshine, I set out on the Heritage Trail. This path, founded in 1890, led nearly straight up the mountain, climbing some nearly 800 meters to the top. It followed the funicular … [Read more...]

Bulacan: Heritage and History

May 1, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone streets of Malolos as I begin my exploration of Bulacan, a province that serves as a living testimony to the Philippines' rich cultural heritage. Located just north of Manila, this region has long been overshadowed by its metropolitan neighbor, but as I would soon discover, Bulacan holds treasures that rival any in the archipelago. My journey begins at the Barasoain Church, its baroque … [Read more...]
