Ways to Enjoy the Arctic

The Arctic is a vast polar region situated at the most northernmost part of the planet. It is made up of a whole host of countries including Canada, Russia, Greenland, Finland and Iceland, along with the Arctic Ocean itself.  Because of its unique ecosystem, spare indigenous population and distinctive wildlife, traveling to the Arctic is appealing to the more adventurous holidaymakers out there.

I was scrolling through Facebook a few days ago and came across this photo and honestly, my mouth started watering.  I just knew I had to get the recipe up on the blog for all of you!  I emailed the owner of the Hispanic Kitchen website and with his permission, here you go.  Unfortunately, I cannot indulge because I am allergic to shellfish, so please give them a try and let us all know how good they really are!

Why Travel Insurance Should Be an Essential Part of Your Travel Plans

Annual holidays are a time for you and your family to get away and enjoy one anothers company. However, they can also be a time when you experience emergencies you were not expecting. That’s why travel insurance is a good idea whenever you go on holiday.
