Qatar Visa Requirements to See the Rock Carvings of Al Jassasiya
April 17th, 2011
Qatar is one of the safest Middle Eastern countries to visit, especially at the moment. While it's not as famous of a destination as, say, Jordan, there are still plenty of interesting things to see and do. For example, if you travel into the desert northeast of the capital city of Doha, you'll find some gorgeous and astonishingly well-preserved petroglyphs. The rock carvings of Al Jassasiya are a true mystery. Very little is known about the people who carved them or what the carvings themselves mean. Nonetheless, they are a spectacular sight. Here's how Kirstin Amro described them for Vagabondish:
"After initially finding the rock carvings, it was thereafter impossible to miss them. Dozens of dhows (ancient Qatari boats) sailed across the limestone rock in their numbers, their thin oa
Things You Can Do With A Nepal Visa: Hike Everest in Solitude
April 16th, 2011
Nepal is a backpacker's paradise, but while it's known for its absolutely stunning scenery, it's not known for providing solitude. Most backpackers look at the heavily-trafficked main trails as an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. But some of us are a little more misanthropic. We prefer to walk alone.
Now, my fellow misanthropes can have their cake and eat it, too, so to speak: A relatively new loop trail, the Three Passes Trek, takes you around the Himalayas and through Everest Base Camp, while avoiding the crowds for most of the route. New York Times travel writer Alex Hutchinson recently hiked the route with his wife, and from his description it sounds just as spectacular as any trail in Nepal. Check it out:
"Behind us, looming above a turquoise glacial lake, was
Get a Brazil Visa to See the Church of our Lord of Bonfim

Salvador de Bahia is the largest city on the northeastern coast of Brazil. It is known as the "City of All Saints" and "Brazil's capital of happiness." It's also home to the celebrated and unusual Church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim (that's "Church of our Lord of the Good End" in Portuguese.) The church is believed to be especially sacred, and every year thousands of pilgrims come here to pray.
The Church is the site of an important annual festival that incorporates both Catholic and Candomble traditions. The Festa do Bonfim happens every year in early January. People from all over Brazil gather at the Church of Conceição da Praia, then walk in a procession to the Church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim. Once there, a group of women in traditional white dresses and bonnets wash the steps of
Sail Away to Bocas del Toro with a Panama Visa
April 9th, 2011
A 30-minute ferry ride away from the Panamanian mainland, the Bocas del Tora archipelago is laid back and beautiful, a perfect place to catch your breath and chill out. Bocas Town on Isla Colon is the largest community on the island chain, and while it still has a small-town feel, the growth of tourism in the region means that there are lots of places to stay, nightlife and fine dining options available.
The surrounding islands offer surfing, snorkeling and other outdoor activities. Track jaguars in the ancient rainforests of the Parque Internacional la Amistad, lounge on isolated tropical beaches or catch a wave on your surfboard - it's up to you.
Unfortunately, this archipelago's isolation and tranquility may soon be lost to development. Lonely Planet says: "It’s difficult to predict
Belarus Visa Requirements for Tourists
April 8th, 2011
Though the Soviet Union officially broke up in 1991, in many ways Belarus never left. The country's economy is still primarily owned by the state, and while Belarus is technically a republic, the country has a reputation of being a place where political dissent is an activity that's neither encouraged nor good for one's health.
For all that, Belarus' attractions beckon both city people and nature lovers alike. The cities thrive with excellent nightlife, and the natural parks are wild and impressive. Plus, there's the Belarusian people themselves. Lonely Planet says that "while travelers will always be subject to curiosity, they'll invariably also be on the receiving end of extremely warm hospitality" while in Belarus.
Before you can experience that hospitality for yourself, however
