chicken cooked over volcanic pit

El Diablo – The Volcanic Restaurant of Lanzarote

Have you ever wondered what volcano charred chicken would taste like? Perhaps some tender beef, sauteed over a deep volcanic well? If you’re up for a bit of travel, adventure, and volcanic food, El Diablo on the Spanish island of Lanzarote might be just the place you’re looking for.

Built on top of a dormant (but still very hot) volcanic site in the Timanfaya National Park, tourists can sit back and relax as chefs cook their meals on grills built above deep volcanic pits. As you’ll see in the

De Real Macaw – Slumming It On Caye Caulker

This is how we kept ourselves safe at nightAt the beginning of the year, I traveled with my girlfriend to Belize on a journey that would test our endurance – both physically and mentally – and our capacity to withstand the onslaught of shitty lodging that Belize has to offer, both on the mainland, and out on the keys. Though I’m certain that many of the hotels and hostels available on Caye Caulker are wonderful, I assure you that De Real Macaw isn’t one of them. Let me explain…

At one point the owner must have decided that a 3/4 wall around the bathroom would suffice, and so it was. Want some privacy? Forget it. The toilet may as well be sitting in the middle of the room.

Egypt Adventures – Getting the Most From Your Trip to The Great Pyramids

We’ve all seen photos of them over the years, the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. They’re one of the seven wonders of the world, and you’ve wanted to see them since you were a child. Your boss finally gives you the time off, you book your ticket, and off you go. But is there anything else you should know? It turns out there is.

I had the opportunity to visit and explore Egypt (and of course the Great Pyramids) last year, and I want to share a few useful useful things that I picked up along the way. The pyramids are every bit as

Need a Hangover Cure? Try Interjet

Hangovers are never fun. Especially tequila hangovers, which we all know are the kind of hangovers that feel like an ice pick has been driven into your skull over one eye because we all know that hangovers are always asymmetrical.  Nothing is fun while being hungover, but some activities are worse than others. Sitting in the shower, for example, is bearable. So is watching a Will Ferrell
