Swim in a Mexican cenote at Akumal's Xel-Ha Water Park


There are tons of things to see and do in Mexico's Akumal region.  While staying there in May, my husband and I figured this fact out right away.

Experiencing Skogar and Skogafoss in Iceland


Want to travel around Iceland on a tight budget?  Websites like Trip Adviser and Huffington Post Travel offer advice such as "shop at local grocery stores" and "avoid guided tours by exploring on your own".  Both are things my husband and I did during our recent stay in this picturesque nation.  Another really great way to experience the beauty of Iceland is to avoid the overpriced hotels and to instead choose to camp your way across the countryside.
