Lindsay-Marie SaundersPublished 7 years ago in Wander10 of the Best Vans Ever Made
Many of the most iconic cars in television have been vans. Think about it — the Mystery Machine, the A-Team van, and even that hilariously fur-covered van from Dumb and Dumber were all vans.
Skunk UzekiPublished 7 years ago in WheelReview: Sofitel Hotel Corniche, Abu Dhabi
PackThePJs factored in a two-night stopover in Abu Dhabi on the way home from our recent holiday to the Maldives. This was easy to do as all our flights were on Etihad Airways. Using Booking.com we chose the Sofitel Hotel, on the Corniche, in Abu Dhabi. We’ve never stayed in Abu Dhabi before, so why did we choose this hotel? Well, the price was incredibly reasonable, it is rated 5 stars, and the family room we were offered was called the ‘Prestige Suite with Executive Lounge Access and Butler Service’. Hard not to be enticed, really!
Tracey KiffordPublished 7 years ago in WanderLove to Travel? Don't Live in the Midwest, U.S.A.
The Midwest of the United States is gorgeous. There's rolling hills, green and gold fields, and you can see for miles around. We have attractions like Chicago, the Badlands, and Mount Rushmore. Other than that, though, we're pretty lacking in excitement.

Lightening clashes with millions of jewel stars dotting the onyx night. With each flash the sky pales a white-yellow. Moments later the slowly creeping night clouds would groan so loudly the sound echoes off the red rock canyon. The storm remains flashing on all sides of the scarred earth, still hours yet to climb over the muli-colored mountains and encompass the valley. The night sky goes deep before us in our pocket of clearness, miles from any light pollution. From mysterious night to pale lightening, the stars battle for their majesty only to be blocked out moments later by a more brilliant flash of light.
Monika OlesenPublished 7 years ago in WanderMost Reliable Midsize Cars
Midsize cars are a wonderful compromise on a number of different factors. They offer enough room for you to pack up everything and head out without issue. They are zippy and compact enough to handle well on the streets and still be fun to drive. And yet, they do it all without compromising on leg room.
Julie BarnesPublished 7 years ago in Wheel10 Myths About Siberia and Why We Should Move There
When we think of "Siberia," most people form a false impression of the place. Many of us would imagine Siberia as a bitterly cold, desolate wasteland, inhabited only by prisoners exiled by Russian tsars for treason or by the Soviet government for being a bit of a nuisance. But in reality, this huge Russian territory, 13-million square kilometres in size, is among the most beautiful, diverse and interesting regions anywhere on earth. Whether you intend to pay a fleeting visit or settle there and morph into the background, at least you will be able to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Let us discover why this awesome location remains so unknown and shrouded in mystery.
