What should one consider while travelling in Athens, Greece? Among them you should pay special attention to the electric current, especially if coming from the States or Canada. The standard in Greece is 220-230V AC (50Hz). Appliances from North America require a transformer and British ones an adaptor. Remember: Adaptor plugs do not convert electricity.

Tanzania is home to 125 ethnic groups bound together by a common language; Swahili. This was the achievement of the first president of Tanzania Julius Nyerere. The Swahili language bound the country together into a single identity. This has helped to make Tanzania the personification of the peaceful and friendly destination. Tanzania, since independence has known that the National Parks are a vital part of its future. The governm...

Whether it is visiting grandparents, playing the tourist, or even taking your family along on business, traveling with the family is not the same experience as traveling alone. Here are some simple tips to keep everyone smiling during your summer excursions. - Pack light, pack complete. This means don't take it along unless you actually need it. But if you DO need it, don't pretend you can do without it. You will just be miserable or end up purchasing the item on the road. - Buy it there. The first tip (above) brings up a useful thought. Are there some items that are easily purchased once you reach your destination? It may be simpler to buy some things rather than pack and unpack them. Only you can decide if the convenience outweighs the cost. - Attention spans.
