Why We Use Myanmar, Not Burma

May 14, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara & Mike

English to Burmese

Myanmar (pronounced mee-an-mar) is a hip travel destination this year, topping many publications’ “Must-see in 2013” recommendations. But what is the name of the country you are supposed to be visiting: Myanmar or Burma? There is a lot of confusion over what to call the country. Guidebooks still print Burma in parentheses on their covers. Read Post

Red Chili Cooking School

GUEST POST: Near or Far in 2013?

March 20, 2013Filed in: Sponsored Guest Posts by Tara & Mike

One of the best things about choosing a holiday is deciding where to go. Will you travel near, far or somewhere in-between? Some holidaymakers have a clear idea of where they want to go, and will happily go back to the same place time after time. Others like to try somewhere new and enjoy a Read Post

We’ve Been Gone NINE Months!

March 6, 2013Filed in: Travel Planning by Tara & Mike

GUEST POST: Epic Stag Weekend Wonders in Chelsea FC

March 5, 2013Filed in: Sponsored Guest Posts by Tara & Mike

It’s the big lad’s last weekend of freedom and you know you’ve got to make it a good one. Everyone knows that a night on the town doesn’t quite cut it anymore, and pulling out the big guns and making a break of it is the only way to go. A stag weekend just wouldn’t Read Post
