Bondi beach swimming pool

This week I’ve been reading lots of random world travel related material. One intriguing article I stumbled across was “the worlds most extraordinary swimming pools”. Swimming pools in every conceivable form you’d think of.

Always a helpful topic for the budget traveler, 12 ways to travel the world for free.

At the National Geographic if you haven’t already seen this amusing photo of a the squirrel photo crasher then you should. Elsewhere there was a controversial article on 4 reasons travel for fun is a waste of time, I completely disagree of course!

For the photographers amongst us I found a very helpful article on 7 tips for taking travel photos like a pro.
