Rhodes is one of the most popular islands in Greece, and is known for its historic ruins and glorious beach resorts. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, offering plenty of things to see and do across the island. Whether you choose to base your Greek stay on Rhodes or you just want to check out the island for a day or two from elsewhere, you'll want to make the most of your time. 

There are many ways to enjoy yourself; spending time on the beach, going shopping, or exploring the culture and rich history Rhodes has to offer. Take a look at these tips for planning your trip.

Santa Barbara, California is best known for its beaches, and is known as the American Riviera. However, when planning a visit, don’t just think about topping up your tan in the year-round glorious sunshine, go and explore! 

With a backdrop of the dramatic Santa Ynez Mountains, nature enthusiasts will love strolling through the Botanic Gardens. History buffs can appreciate the City’s Spanish colonial heritage, and view its Mediterranean style red-tile roofs with white walls. Art lovers will have a chance to chat with up-and-coming artists, and take home a unique souvenir of your visit. State Street’s one- mile pedestrian road ticks boxes for both shop-a-holics wishing to check out upscale boutiques, and foodies wanting to enjoy local wines at the wide range of restaurants.

Without any further ado, let Feet Do Travel show you why Santa Barbara is more than just beautiful beaches.

Cat and dog lovers of the world take note: Siem Reap Pagoda Cats is better than any cat café you could ever visit!

More than 30 cats and 8 dogs live with monks at this one particular Pagoda, and they would love for you to visit and pet them (the cats and dogs, not the monks, you are not allowed to pet the monks).

These cats and dogs crave attention, they want you to stroke them, pick them up and give them a cuddle. You could have five cats and three dogs around you, all begging to be next in line for your attention. As an animal lover, who doesn’t want that?

All animals are unwanted and were brought to the monks to look after. An unexpected litter, high medical fees, or stray animals found in the street are just a few of the reasons people take cats and dogs to pagodas in Cambodia.

If you want the most heart-warming, natural animal encounter when you visit Cambodia, a visit to Siem Reap Pagoda Cats is a must!

Traveling with your kids can be exhausting and stressful, but what if it wasn’t? Wouldn’t it be great to start your vacation the minute you left your home rather than after you arrived at your destination?

Here are tips that will let you and your family have just as much fun traveling as after you arrive.

Extreme weather conditions can happen anywhere in the world at any time, but would you know how to survive a natural disaster?

It’s devastating for residents living within a country, but as travellers, any one of us could be visiting somewhere when a natural disaster occurs. 

When we were in the Lombok earthquake on 5 August, we had no idea what to do, we just tried to think rationally and survival mode kicked in. When a tsunami warning was in place, for this we knew what to do – get to high ground. 

This post isn’t intended to scare, but to educate us all on what to do when faced with circumstances we are unfamiliar with. I haven’t endured all the situations within this post, if I had, I’m unsure if I would be the luckiest person still alive, or the unluckiest to have been in these disasters in the first place! So I spoke with my travel blogger friends to create this post. 
​
I hope we are all able to learn how to survive a natural disaster.

Nusa Penida is one of the best places in the world to dive with Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish as it’s also known. That is exactly why we chose to visit for my birthday.

A large and still undiscovered island 30 minutes from Bali, Indonesia, Nusa Penida had been on our scuba diving bucket list ever since we were in Lembongan 18 months before.

Although there are many things to do on Nusa Penida, it’s a destination where divers have a chance of seeing two of the oceans giants; the weird fish Mola Mola and majestic Manta Ray. To see both has the potential for an amazing adventure.

But what is so fascinating about the elusive Mola Mola? Related to the pufferfish and triggerfish, the moonfish or headfish is the largest bony fish in the world. Its unusual shape makes it look like a floating head with wings.

However, Mola Mola and Manta Ray sightings are never guaranteed, nothing in nature is. Would we be successful in our quest of seeing the strangest looking fish in the ocean AND the most graceful? 

As winter draws nearer, more and more people will be looking for some winter sun. However, one cause for concern is having to carry around a large amount of cash. For most people, this is the first time they will have such a substantial amount of money on them, especially if you have worked hard saving money to travel. This is an understandable worry. After, all the hazards of carrying around hundreds or even thousands of pounds/dollars are evident. If the money was lost or stolen, then you would have a disaster on your hands struggling to find a way to accumulate funds for the rest of your trip. 

However, there are solutions when it comes to keeping your holiday money safe. Before you travel abroad with your pockets bulging with cash, we help you discover other options at your disposal.

Plastic Free travel is easier than you think.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past couple of years, you will know our world has a plastic problem.

Sadly plastic pollution is everywhere. No country, no matter how remote has been spared.

When we travel, it’s so easy to forget that many countries don’t have the same facilities we are used to, and consumption of single use plastic creeps into our travel. Despite our well-meaning intentions back home, when we travel, it’s so easy to end up using far more plastic than we would like or need to.

But it’s possible to do something about it. I am here to tell you that it is possible to reduce our single use plastics when we travel.
