The earth is often referred to as the “Globe.” Globes are spherical or rounded objects, celestial bodies, or the heavens. For travelers, glove means earth, and global travel means traveling the world!
Traveling the world means exploring the earth, the universe, and the planet.
With at least 195 countries in the world, there is a whole lot of exploring to be done.
We’d say at least 195 countries worldwide, not counting anything else, like territories or The Vatican. This number is not as widely accepted as you think, and if you asked a Chinese or a Russian, they would disagree as they recognize others as countries. Many nations count The Vatican for a total of 196.
However, it’s a complex question, and different countries count differently.

Whether you have always dreamed of an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, a trip across the Australian Outback, or hiking through Africa, you’ll find it all here.
The Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder is worthy of this review, even though I’m not a big fan of writing hotel reviews. I’ve only written a few, and one was for a spectacular place in Argentina. I tend to spare hotel reviews for the amazing or terrible. This hotel is neither excellent nor awful. It’s…
Iceland Hype – Is It Worth It? Yes, Iceland is worth the hype! Iceland is one of my favorite places in the world. As a rule of thumb, I only visit countries once. If I have the desire to return, the location must be divine. Iceland is sacred, and we will return. It was once a…
It never ceases to amaze me how many Americans have not visited Yellowstone National Park. It’s a national jewel akin to Ireland’s countryside. We have stayed twice and will return. Hands down, this is my favorite place in the United States, other than Florida, where we live. Yellowstone places Montana on my list of favorite…
Argentina was a natural choice for us, given that we were in Brazil. As I have mentioned before, I am a fan of multiple location trips using multiple one-way flights. Argentina’s main draw for us is the resting place of Eva Peron (Evita). Eva’s story has captivated me for some time. I wanted to see…
British slang is something that most non-Brit’s have trouble understanding. British slang is a cross of British and American English butchered with slang and idioms. Proverbs are often backward, upside down, and frequently incomprehensible. This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure and privacy policy for more information.

Being loyal to a hotel chain can earn you points and privileges and ensure a Hotel Price Match Guarantee. Many in the industry have mastered the art of collecting and maximizing hotel points. I do not consider myself an expert in this arena. But, I have earned myself at least 50 free nights over the…
I am somewhat reluctant to write this article because the Rainbow River Florida is unlike anything you will ever experience. It is not full of tourists, nor is it full of city slickers. It is a natural, old-fashioned watering hole where people tube the river, drink beer, connect tubes, and drag their stash behind them…
Timeshare Resales are my all-time favorite travel hack! People often ask how Brian and I afford as much travel as we do. One of the ways we accomplish as much travel as we do is to own a timeshare. And we purchased a timeshare resale. That’s right! A timeshare resale, as you all roll your…
Many of us have romanticized travel to Cuba. We often don’t because of the unknown. We did it in May of 2017, and it was terrific. Cuba is rich in history and culture, safe, inexpensive, and unique. It’s not the typical Caribbean most Americans are accustomed to, but that’s what makes it unique. Cuba is…
