Here’s a great collection of islands in the world that could be considered as “Treasure Islands”.
| An island in the archipelago of Puerto Rico, La Isla de Mona, as the Spanish call it, is a natural paradise with no native inhabitants. At just 11 km by 7 km, you might not think much of it but little Mona Island has quite a history of pirating. |

Here’s some really dangerous Signs around the world!
| In all my travels (around the web), I’ve come across many ridiculous signs. Some of these are so wacky they must be fake. Others are pretty clever (see Church Signs). Here are just a few which illustrate that, no matter how off the beaten path we wander, someone is trying to hold our hand. |

Airlines are charging ridiculous amounts of money for carrying your surfboards. At $300, you’d probably better off buying a new one or at least rent one.
 Surfers are being gouged by many airlines when they travel with their boards, and, rightfully, they’re pissed. “The charges have gotten so gnarly that some professional surfers are calling for a boycott of airlines that have high fees and are putting out their own personal lists of surfer-friendly carriers that wave riders should patronize,” writes Peter Pae in the Los Angeles Times. Among the airlines surfers are calling out: Delta, Continental and United. Each charges a minimum of $115 for domestic flights, and up to $300 for international trips. |

I know how hard it can be to travel and work at a different country but here’s some great information on working/living in Phillipines so you know.
| Although I’m a filipina by origin, I’ve only ever been to the Philippines once - and that was to a luxury island resort. So I asked my VA - Alfa Mercado - to put this post together for me. |
| Here’s what she has to say about the Phillipines as a possible destination for your location independent life… |
| If you’re one of the lucky few whose job entails plenty of traveling to places all over the globe - or you’re a location independent web worker, the you might find that the Philippines is a worth stop over. |

Here’s some good insights into how a person could fund his/her travels through mastery of the poker game.
| Though I knew nothing about poker when I quit my suit-and-tie desk job, I quickly picked it up on my travels around the world. Since then I’ve played hundreds of hands of Texas Hold ‘Em and met plenty of poker players, many of them fellow globetrotters. |
| I guess there’s something about taking a calculated risk that links both travelers and poker players because there seems to be a lot of crossover. |

Here’s some great information on Cebu, Philippines. It seems that I have not traveled the world at all if Cebu is as beautiful and interesting as it sounds.
| Being peaceful and inhabited by warm and hospitable people where large scale businesses thrive, Cebu has become the melting pot of Asian races in the Philippines. Many Chinese and South Koreans have made this place their permanent home. Shown above is a Taoist temple built by the Cebu Chinese community. It is open to all visitors- worshipers and non-worshipers alike. And around three hundred (300) meters above sea level, it provides a very comfortable and panoramic view of the ever prospering Queen City in Southern Philippines. |
