Travel Curiosities #4

On a daily bases I stumble upon interesting articles on the web and share those frequently on Twitter. Again and again I am asked whether I want to share those articles about; hotels, travel, start-ups, life-hacks and tips, on my website. A very good idea, as not everyone uses Twitter and I get the opportunity to explain why I share it. Therefore the new category: Travel Curiosities. Because travel still remains the main focus. If you have any suggestions for articles to read, please pass them on!

  • It is winter season, so it makes only sense that Ice hotels are popping up all over the place in Swedish Lapland. Watch here a video of how the 25th hotel in Jukkasjärvi builds their central bar named “Boom!”. Cool!
  • Luxury Travel Intelligence has once again sent its experts to grade all new luxury hotels, providing us with a list of the best luxury hotels. While conducting their ‘investigation’ it turned out that The Shard’s Shangri-La was voted worst luxury hotel of 2014.
  • Elizabeth Gallagher got a free round-the-world air ticket just because she has the same name as the ex-girlfriend of a man from Toronto, who after the break-up was looking for a travel buddy. How cool!
  • Airline Uniforms, pictures from the sky’s most stylish air stewards and stewardesses.
  • This cool illustrator adds alternative stories to strangers’ Instagram photos!
  • A perspective of how the world can change as drone technology spreads. Cool or a bit scary?
  • We are not the only ones who like to travel and go on adventures, this cute dumbo pet rat was photographed around the house while he embarking on his adventures. So cute!
  • If there is no budget, and the sky is your limited, then this might be the right list of gifts for you to give. Presents that make a statement. Would you want to get any of these gifts?
