You’ll find a majority of all the Turkish shops in the city located here. I found this a great place to find small town sellers selling hand made goods in tiny little shop. They do good quality work and don’t expect much in return. Though they will try to sell things to you at a bit higher...

The San Jacinto Plaza is the heart of downtown El Paso. There is a lot of interesting history behind the area. There used to be alligators that guarded a small boy statue in the center. You can find that statue in City Hall. (It’s worth visiting). There are currently no alligators, but the...

Why is this national memorial so important. It marks the beginning of peace between the United States and Mexico. "The peaceful settlement of a 99-year boundary dispute between the United States and Mexico is memorialized here. The Chamizal Treaty, ending the dispute, was signed in 1963. An...

A great thing about El Paso is that it has history unlike some more modern parts of the United States. Take for example the Fray Garcia de San Francisco Monument. The statue is about 1 4 feet high and most notably the tallest historical monument in Texas. Though the statue is not as old as it...

I wasn’t sure what to expect with El Paso, Texas. Would it just be a desert type city with nothing to offer, including no water? Keep in mind this city is right next to the border.

It looks great from a distance, but once you get close and realize where you have ended up you might wish you hadn't come. I found Grouse Mountain mainly just over priced and dissapointing. Of course, I did expect everything to be overcrowded and touristy. This Mountain does offer skiing, snow...

There is plenty of really good shoping in Vancouver. In fact, it is probably one of the best reasons to come here. If you want to hit the main shopping area, you would be best visint between 1st and 5th and some parts in the lower part of 8th street. Here they have some big shopping areas like...

Taking this route is quite a journey and not for those who don’t like to walk. This path will take up to four days to complete. You will see mountains, interesting animals, jungles, and amazing sights. I was told that this was a great way to see how life used to exist way back when, but from...

This museum was worth saying and I would rate it a very worth seeing attraction in Queretaro. My friend lived next to it during his study abroad. All he could describe it as is big and old. After ingit, I'm sure most would have to agree with him. It is basically big and old.
Back in the...

If you came to Cancun to party, look no further than the City Discotheque. This place is literally four clubs in one. You've got your choice between four differently styled clubs, so you are sure to find at least one place that you like. When I went here, I went to all four and enjoyed them...

When I went to Cancun, I figured it would just be a bunch of drunken college students, and the only thing to do would be drink, but on the contrary, there are actually many things to do in Cancun that don't involve drinking. Take for instance the El Rey Ruins. These ruins are a great side trip...

Xochimilco is definitely a worth while place to visit. It cost me about $20 to rent a boat, but definitely well worth it. If you get a large group together, it will end up being really cheap per person. You’ll be boating around through the canals, get to enjoy mariachis, there will be plenty...

Come see Frida’s house. I would definitely recommend making a stop at the renowned artist’s house in Mexico City. Not only does it hold some of her most famous work. It is also a beautiful place. Unfortunately you won’t be able to bring in any cameras, but it won’t take a picture to...

This isn't anything that isn't grand about the Grand Place. This area is amazing with its historic buildings. One thing to watch out for here is the pickpockets. Since this place is heavily visited by tourists, it is also the scene for people who will try to steal things from you. Just make...

From the first mention of the name of this hostel, something seemed a little fishy. The name itself implies there might be something wrong with this place. The hostel is run by Fat Johnny who could be considered fat. His hostel of last resorts should be considered a place of last resort. The...

If there is one thing that is good about Chicago, it is definitely the pizza. Pizzeria Uno is no except and in fact the start of a Pizza legacy. Uno's started out with one successful locating and eventually opened up a second location called Duos not far from Unos. Then they franchised the...

This hotel is perfectly located right by Miami beach. Not only that but its just cheap. If you are on a budget, this is a really good option. I paid 17 dollars for a four bed room. Keep in mind this isn't a hostel and all rooms are private in the sense that in order to get the four bed room...

Miami is definitely worth a visit. It has some of the best beaches in the United States. Though some areas seems a bit run down, go over to somewhere like South Beach and enjoy all that Miami has to offer. If you want to see the Cuban influence of Miami, there is then no better place than in...

I loved traveling in San Francisco by cable car. While it is by no means the best form of transportation here, its historical significance was enough me to try it the first time. After that I was hooked, and continued to use them for easy transportation through San Francisco. Recently I’ve...
