Salar de Uyuni, the World's Largest Salt Flat
Created on January 11, 2009 by Dan Kuseta, WriterFancy a trip to Mars but can’t wait for NASA to start colonizing? Don’t despair, because a journey to Salar de Uyuni, the Bolivian salt desert is the next best thing. The remnants of a giant prehistoric lake, the world’s largest salt flats cover an area the size of Belgium and sit as high the Andes. Best experienced with a guided tour from the town of Uyuni, the first stop en route to the flats is the great train graveyard, a stark testament to the Spartan land beyond. Just a few miles out of Uyuni the landscape changes at an alarming rate: yellows, greens and browns are swept aside by a sea of vast, blisteringly white salt. The sensation is somewhat akin to being swallowed. ...
The Venice to Istanbul Express, an old fashioned experience.
Created on December 14, 2008 by Dan Kuseta, WriterThe train, more so than any other form of transport, has the power to fire the imagination. From the writings of Agatha Christie and Paul Theroux to North By Northwest and The Darjeeling Limited, the train has always been the most adventurous and romantic form of travel. In the age cheap airfares and hectic schedules, it is also one of the most overlooked.

Leaving Venice in the evening and reaching Istanbul at dawn two days later, this is a trip is about the journey. With its Spartan carriages, lack of sleeping cars and frequent unexplained stops, this is no Orient Express, but the ...
Discover an Underwater Odyssey Diving in Cozumel Mexico
Created on October 13, 2008 by Dan Kuseta, WriterLying just off the Yucatan Peninsula, Isla Cozumel, the Island of the Swallows, offers world class diving in picture perfect surroundings. With striking coral reefs, thriving marine life and crystal clear waters to spy them through, Cozumel was Mexico’s best kept secret until a young Jacques Cousteau “discovered” it in the 1960’s, placing this sleepy isle square on the scuba map. With over forty major dive sites to choose from, Cozumel caters to every diving level and preference, from dolphin dives to personalized ‘Scuba Subs’. Yet the island’s greatest attraction remains drift diving: currents that carry divers along great swathes of reef on an ‘aquatic wind’. As you float over the technicolor corals you’re likely to spot sea turtles, stingrays, angelfish and even grey nurse ...
