America

This is a guest post provided by rent a car.

Anytime you drive literally and sometimes figuratively out of your comfort zone, you are engaged in a road trip. The road trip conjures up images both positive and negative in people’s minds but the negative mostly depends on who is riding in the car with you and whether or not your destination is worth the drive. When five college buddies hop into a 1998 Honda with a sun-damaged roof and head to a rock concert in another state, so they can Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

Holidaying in the US is all about the cities. When we think of America we immediately jump from one iconic image another. The Golden Gate bridge, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, the Whitehouse, or Cesar’s Palace; and that’s just to name a few. Picking the top five of so many great cities is a difficult task, but we’ve had a go, so check it out.

Although I spend a great deal of time camping, walking and generally keeping my feet firmly on the ground, I’m not averse to a spot of aerial thrill seeking. And I’ve just found out that my favourite Canadian city of Toronto has come up with the ultimate adventure that I simply can’t wait to try!

The EdgeWalk is the newest attraction at Toronto’s CN Tower that involves participants stepping OUT onto a 1.5metre wide ledge above the tower’s viewing platform at 356 metres above ground level, attached only by a strengthened wire!

Ontario

This is a guest post from Michal Kniec, after completing a History degree in Canada, he decided that a little change of scenery would do him some good and moved across the world to Manchester. Now studying law, he loves to write, cook, and travel as much as possible on this pale blue dot.

It was 4 in the morning, maybe 5, when I got the call from a friend telling me that he’ll visit my home in London, Ontario, Canada within the next few days. Not completely awake, I agreed to show him around and immediately went back to sleep. Waking up a few hours later I realized that I had quite a task ahead of me. He had already been to Canada and I knew that he wanted to see something more than the average tourist. Having lived in my destination, Ontario most of my life I knew my way around and quickly created an itinerary for us to follow. When he arrived I was more than ready, and we both set off on an extra-ordinary trek across the province.

24-hour party people know to go to Miami. By day you’ll be hanging out at beach bars and by night, after a super-glamorous change, you’ll be strutting your stuff up the red carpet of one of the hottest clubs in town. The most ‘colourful’ nightlife is found on South Beach Miami. The hostels in Miami have picked up on the party atmosphere and many have on-site bars, roof terraces and games rooms, making it easy to meet fellow travellers. You can also ensure you have more money for drinks and club entries by getting them free with some hostels and waking up to a delicious free breakfast the next day at others. Here are two great examples:
