When I marvel at the breathtakingly sumptuous and lavish homes of the rich and famous, I no longer feel pangs of jealousy as I know that I can experience something similar any time I want to.

How do I do this?

I rent a luxury villa in the sun for a week or two and lavish myself with feelings of pure, self indulgence (you can also rent them in the winter and indulge just as fully in some italy skiing). For me, the high life begins the moment I leave my old life behind and am picked up from the airport by my courtesy car which takes me to my ‘new life’.

Now, whenever I hear the word ‘luxury’, I know that this word is not reserved for just millionaires or celebrities. If you want to experience a different type of holiday experience, a luxury holiday villa provides an ambience which lavishes you from head to toe in unadulterated bliss.

Feel yourself become immersed in the spacious and stylish rooms which are meticulously cleaned and maintained. In many cases, you can arrange for a maid to clean the villa daily–you do not need to lift a finger! Just soak in the ambience with a glass or two of champagne as you step into an inviting jacuzzi or laze in the elaborately oversized pool.

I always choose a villa which is set in a beauty spot so as I can lose myself in nature and meander through the sweeping, velvet green winding tracks. Blow away the cobwebs of your former life and stimulate the mind and senses with a cycle ride or view the landscape from a different perspective as you trek through unspoilt countryside on horseback. Let Mother Nature gently peel away the layers of stress as you escape from your normal every day routine for a while. Hand over the reins and let other people do the thinking for you. Whilst staying in a luxury villa in Bali, I even had my own butler!

Villas which are centrally located provide the retail therapy that accompanies such a lifestyle. After a full days shopping, I look forward to returning to my air conditioned haven where I can cool off and open up another bottle of the ‘good stuff’.

A luxury villa holiday provides a private millionaire lifestyle at a price which will make most wallets smile. In some cases, a luxury villa can work out cheaper than a two week stay at a five star hotel.

Many people travel every year. I personally have traveled a little myself. I have been on three different cruises, and would never suggest any other way to travel. A cruise is an all inclusive travel option that offers the comforts of home and much more.

Cruises are an all inclusive way to travel. When I went on the three cruises that I took I loved that the price I paid upfront was for practically everything. All I paid for in addition to the price of the cruise was alcohol and whatever I spent at the stops the cruise made. The price of a cruise includes your room and all the food you could imagine. There is a constant stream of food being supplied. There are the three major meals along with constant buffets at all different times of day and night. There are also many shows that are included in the price of the cruise. The cruise will also take you to all your destinations. You are constantly enjoying yourself. There are no long airplane rides from destination to destination. Instead of flying from one port to another, you get to enjoy yourself in between stops. Cruises are a great option for an interesting way to travel.

Cruises are also a great way to travel if you’re looking for the comforts of home, many people have the misconception that travelling on a cruise ship is like travelling in a storage unit. In reality, cruises offer very comfortable rooms that have amenities like comfortable mattresses, full bathrooms, and the suites will even have couches. A misleading assumption of cruises is that you can feel the waves of the ocean. This is far from the truth. Out of the three cruises I was on, I only felt the movement of the ocean once, and it was only for a few hours one night during harsh weather conditions. Being on a cruise offers many creature comforts that will remind you of home.

When it comes to traveling, you just can’t beat a cruise. Cruises are an all inclusive travel option that offer much of the creature comforts of home. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable way to travel from one Caribbean island to another, or you’re looking for a travel option that feels a lot like home, a cruise could be the answer to what you’re looking for.

When I arrived in Canada, I was there for about a week before someone mentioned Jasper Nation Park. I had asked where the best place to go was for countryside and landscapes outside of British Columbia. Jasper was the answer. Within 24 hours of hearing that I had booked my Greyhound to take me there. and 24 hours after that, I was on the coach with a couple of friends.

It took around five hours to get to Jasper, which was a little frustrating in the heat, but it was mostly ok. Once we got there we wandered around until we found our hotel. We packed everything away, put on a change of clothes (the others were quite disgusting by this point) and headed out into the Canadian wild.

Whilst the town of Jasper is lovely, that is not what we were there for. We wanted to explore the surroundings. There are places you can go, such as the Miette Hot Springs, which are fantastic, and the cable car, you can also ride horses. However, we wanted to wander for a while.

So we found the nearest climbable entrance into the woods behind the town and found one of the trails and set off on our journey. We took plenty of water and some food and our cameras. We walked the trails for a couple of hours and it was fantastic. There was some truly epic scenery and we had found exactly what we were looking for. However, after another hour or so, we realised that we had come off the trail and had been following something that was not a trail. Needless to say we became lost, thankfully I was wearing my super comfortable saucony running shoes.

We did eventually find our way back and to be honest, even though it took us a few hours, we enjoyed being lost. It was a great way to see even more of the wilderness and the great scenery. If I return to Canada, I know where I am going back to.

The worst thing about arriving in Sweden is the sudden and horrendous shock of how much everything costs; after you’ve got used to spending five times as much on fast-food—and a total lack of drink culture anywhere, which comes as a strange kind of shock, especially if yóu’ve spent time in England—everything’s fine; Norway is equally expensive, and equally gorgeous. Long straight roads connect the land, making traveling a joyous experience where reading a map is actually a fun thing to do.

Denmark did not let me down; sixty five percent of the land is used for farming while the rest is split between woods, roads and lakes. The people of Copenhagen—a small city at 1.2 million people—are just as friendly and pleased to meet you as any of the Scandinavian people are on any given day; the roads are wide, the buildings built with pride, beaming with history.

Basically it is amazing, I am actually looking at applying for a Secondary education job there I liked it so much!

What I do know is there used to be loads of Hulk jokes going around years ago which were all tied up with him being of a lime-like hue. However, I shall spare you from those…

The other thing that I remember about the show it that when he turned back into David Banner his torn clothes always looked very neat; almost as if the costume department had used a pair of scissors for the ‘rips’ in his shirt and trousers. But, none of that mattered when I used to watch the show. It was always really exciting and I couldn’t wait to see it every week. One of the biggest things about it for me was how David Banner was continually being pursued by Mr. McGee; he was absolutely relentless. Would he ever catch up with him and uncover the secret of ‘The Incredible Hulk’?

There have been lots of comics turned into TV shows and movies over the years, but very few of them have been as successful as ‘The Incredible Hulk’. It may have had its silly moments and naff special effects, but it was all a great deal of fun and it attracted a hell of a lot of viewers each week. There were some very human moments in the show where you actually found yourself feeling quite sorry for Dr. David Banner. Would he ever be free from the curse of ‘The Incredible Hulk’?

An example of the great things that we share on this site is a restaurant that is located in London’s Soho. It doesn’t have a name but it is in the Chinatown bit of it. Anyways you can recognize this restaurant because the walls are painted lime green and it has large photos of former communist leaders on the walls. And the downstairs looks like a dive! What you need to do is ask to go upstairs where they have lovely ethnic furniture, the best food, and will serve you beer in teapots when the license runs out.

Any other tips like this are welcome! And I hope you enjoy the site!
