Indulge Your Inner Rodent At France’s Hamster Hotel

HAMSTER_1524575c_display

Heavy petting… going nuts… queue the suggestive hamster jokes.

Nantes, France has added another “attraction” to its handful of other enticing options, a romantic hamster wheel for two (no… truly). Guests to the La Villa Hamster have the selection of dressing up in full rodent garb, nibbling organic grain, sleeping in a haystack, and, yes, sipping off of a giant water tube oh yeah, and remain the evening.

It’s catching on. The visionaries are currently searching into future Hamster Hotel sights in the U.K. and soon afterwards, “going back to [their] origins.” I’ll let you come to a conclusion about that a single.

I’m a bit disappointed, truly. I was half expecting a labyrinth of brightly colored plastic tubes you had to navigate on all fours, or a ball you’d be trapped in and have to roll your self from one area to the other. I guess you can’t have it all.

21 Incredible Photos of Prince Edward Island That Will Ignite Your Wanderlust

Image
You know that saying: that the world’s best things come in small packages? It shouldn’t be a surprise then that Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province, is packed to the brim with staggering beauty. Granted, coming from Vancouver, PEI is almost as far away from home I can get. The realistic part of me never thought I’d get to see this place for myself, let alone drive through it with a car full of strangers I had known for 24 hours. But, during my cross-Canada train trip, I magically met a group of adventure-keen friends and that’s exactly what happened. A few dropped phone calls later, a car was booked and our spontaneous plan was hatched – we’d be going to PEI from Halifax, staying overnight in a charming, picture-perfect cabin. It’s funny how life works though – things never quite turn out as expected… and while I never expected to fall in love with PEI, I was pretty much one lobster roll away from proposi...

Surfing Muizenberg Beach Around Cape Town

Muizenberg Beach in Cape Town Cape Town, South Africa What’s it like surfing Cape Town’s Muizenberg Beach in the winter? Not as cold as I thought it would be! My surfing road trip update from South Africa. After two weeks of intense surfing in Cape Town, I’m already seeing a huge improvement in my technique. The surfing at Muizenberg has been a lot of fun, with plenty of waves for everyone to practice on. In fact they never seem to stop! This is the reason why Muizenberg Beach is considered by many to be one of the best places in the world for learning how to surf. Warming Up with Instructors TK and Nikita Surfing At Muizenberg My surf adventure began in Cape Town, where I spent 12 days surfing on and off with instructors. We learned how to paddle into waves, proper positioning to catch them, how to pop up onto the board, correct stance, the basics of turning, and how to stay safe. The abundant practice time really helped me improve. We’d usually hav...

South Africa Photography: The Amazing Rainbow Nation

Image
Zulu Medicine Woman South Africa Traveling to the rainbow nation really surprised me. South Africa is incredibly diverse. Friendly people and stunning landscapes inspire some powerful photography. South Africa’s landscapes are as varied as its famous wildlife. Local South Africans are generally friendly and welcoming, while modern cities like Cape Town balance out more rural areas like St. Lucia. Below you’ll discover my favorite photos after 2 months traveling through different parts of South Africa. Marvel at exotic wild animals on safari, fly over the coast in a microlight, or learn your fortune from an indigenous medicine woman. Cook home-made bread over an open fire with new friends, wander through luscious green vineyards, inhale aromatic spices at an Indian market, hunt for shooting stars deep in the bush, and share lunch with locals in a township. These are just a few experiences you can have in South Africa. Enjoy! Wildlife In South Africa Young Cheeta...
