Alaska Hotels and Accommodations
Alaska: Campground in Girdwood Campground in Girdwood by Matyas
Would be exaggeration to assert that this will be an accommodation tip. Actually this campground was not a campground:) There are several formed spots along the fore part of the trail where you can camp for free. These are "official" campgrounds and you can stay at the same place maximum 3 days as far as i know but i'm not sure. Anyway this forest was a perfect place to stay, fires are allowed just pay attention. I've seen 2 black bears... [read more]
Kenya Things To Do
Kenya: Maralal, centre of the Samburu people Maralal, centre of the Samburu people by sachara
Maralal is the main centre of the Samburu people. The town with two wide tree-lined dusty streets and ramshackle wooden shops has a ''wild-west'' atmosphere. Only a few visitors come to Maralal on their way to Turkana or for a camel trekking. At one hand the town is hot, dusty and sleepy at midday, at the other hand it's lively with all the stores, the lively market and the colourful Samburu warriors and women around. One of the monuments in... [read more]

The World’s Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn’t mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of “The World’s Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments.” General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: “Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining.”



Gone But Never Forgotten

It’s now over two years since we lost one of our beloved members, Kinga_Freespirit.

Living without her physical presence has been hurtful for so many, but her spirit and love will always be in the thoughts of those who knew her. And to always continue and further her loving spirit, Krystyna, Kinga’s mother, has created a foundation in her honor.

Please see the forum posting for more information and discussion on the foundation and how you can become part of the team of “fun-loving” volunteers. Freespirit Foundation.

Thank you Kymbanm and Raytor for bringing this to our attention.


The Happiest of Life’s Stages

What is more thrilling and elating than the birth of a baby? The beginning and happiest stage of life has come to member Museeuw and his wife, Meitje, with the birth of their beautiful son , Xinhao. November 6th was the eventful day and we, at the VirtualTourist headquarters, wish them all a big CONGRATULATIONS!


The Saddest of Life’s Stages

Nothing affects one’s heart so sadly as the death of a loved one. And member pres_16 is having to endure this pain with the loss recently of her mother. Her friend, monina_c, tells us she “thanks the VT Community for helping her cope with her loss.”

Our deepest condolences, Priscilla.
