Top Attractions in Bali: Tirta Empul Temple - Mar 7, 2014 - 12:02:23 PM
If you are in search of the
ancient, the mystical, the beautiful, then look no further,
Bali's Tirta Empul
Temple is a must-see attraction while visiting the famed 'Island of the God's.'
See the Traveller's Bazaar video feature of this stunning temple.
While reviewing the stunning
eco-luxury venue, Fivelements Puri Ahimsa, I managed to detach myself from the
lovely resort to do some local activities. I jumped on my scooter and cruised
through the countryside, stopping to
visit the Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest and
Tirta Empul Temple...
Tirta Empul is a holy water
temple, sourced from the sacred Tampak Siring spring. This 1,000 year old
temple has largely been unchanged.

Eco Luxury Resort in Bali: Fivelements Puri Ahimsa - Feb 21, 2014 - 8:05:52 AM
It was
the midnight hour, the air was balmy, and a gentle breeze could be felt. You could
hear the powerful sound of water all around and smell the distinct scent of dew
forming over river rock and moss. Nature ruled this mystical world. I stepped
forward onto a meandering path, it led to a dimly lit bamboo pavilion. I paused
and drifted into thought, "Where am I, is this really happening?"
Back to the present moment, I was at Fivelements Puri Ahimsa, a holistic
wellness retreat that aims to share the Balinese
way of life, nurturing a greater harmony with spirit, the environment, and one
another.Fivelements is located in Mambal, a story-book village
twenty minutes outside of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.

What if I told you,
that you didn’t have to sit at your job, day in and day out doing the
same menial tasks. What if I told you, that you could travel to the ends
of the earth, experiencing its most beautiful spots, meeting its most
fascinating people, and earning a lucrative salary while doing it.
Would you take me up this offer, and pursue a life that is so abnormal
from what we’ve been taught to pursue? It may sound like a daydream, but
it’s a reality for many persons I’ve come to know through my own travel
experiences. Listed below are five ways to fund a full-time life of
travel.
1.Teach English In A
Foreign Country: English teachers are always in high-demand. Most
employers provide housing and medical expenses for their teachers, and
pay a salary that permits a comfortable lifestyle...

“The Bahamian Traveller's” Top Three Activities in New Orleans - Jul 19, 2013 - 9:41:53 PM
I have just returned
from a family reunion in the Bayou State of Louisiana. My mother was
born and raised in the state, and most of her family resides there. This
was my first time attending my southern family’s biennial reunion, and I
was excited and curious to meet my extended relatives. My mom comes
from a family of 75 first cousins, so understandably, the reunion was
well attended.
We barbequed, we worshipped, picnicked,
told stories of yesteryear, and renewed family bonds. Now I can truly
grasp the spirit behind soul food...

The Bahamian Traveller’s Sightseeing Flight over Dubai - Jul 6, 2013 - 2:21:39 AM
I had the amazing
privilege to complete a bucket-list activity that I wanted to do for
eons, and that was to fly in a seaplane over Dubai. The flight was
chartered by Seawings Dubai. I even sat in the cockpit "co-piloting."
This
once in a lifetime experience began from the Yas Viceroy Marina, Abu
Dhabi travelling down the coast to Dubai. I flew over all the cities
icons, from the Palm Jebel Ali & Palm Jumeirah to the Burj Khalifa,
Burj Al Arab 7star Hotel, and Sheikh Zayed Rd. (Dubai’s ‘main street’)
finally landing 40 minutes later at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht
Club.

The Bahamian Traveller, visits The French Riviera - Jun 7, 2013 - 1:08:50 PM
I am beaming from ear
to ear as I write this feature; it's one of those secrets you just
cannot keep to yourself! Eager to tell you of my experience in Monaco,
the playground for the rich and famous, renowned for its princesses and
excesses, with Monte-Carlo, the centerpiece of the Riviera Principality.
I had just finished my five night stay in Paris, and took the TVG train
through the beautiful French countryside stopping in Nice, then
switching to a regional train headed straight for Monaco. Within the
Principality, just a few steps from Monte-Carlo’s legendary Casino, lies
one of the world's best hospitality venues, Hotel Metropole
Monte-Carlo. I had the pleasure of staying in this former palace, and I
must confess it is among the best times of my life!

‘The Bahamian Traveller’ reviews Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, UAE - May 23, 2013 - 11:02:06 PM
Hospitality venues like the Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi are far and few. When I
think on it further there is nothing comparable to it. The Yas Viceroy
Abu Dhabi is a Xanadu of surreal luxury, set within architecture that
takes you out of your everyday and reminds you to live. Earlier this
month, I had the pleasure of staying for two unforgettable nights during
my seven night stay in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Yas Viceroy is located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The United
Arab Emirates, a former British protectorate, now an independent Arab
country along the Arabian Gulf is made up of seven states (Emirates).
These states are famed for their wealth, and iconic architectural
projects, particularly Abu Dhabi’s neighbor Dubai. The island is a short
30 minute drive to Abu Dhabi’s city centre...
