Exotic Vacations - Find all about travelling in the most exotic countries around the world

Reviewed by Carla:

WOW, a beautiful blog! I can almost smell the beach, however it was last updated on Dec 10, 2006! Perhaps the owner of the blog, ( Laurentui from Romaina) took off to some exotic location and has not been online since??
This is a very professional well written blog, I would encourage anyone who is thinking of a vacation to some exotic paradise to take a look at it. There is also another website address, HomeAway.com, that has other information about actually booking a vacation.
Lots of useful information on this blog.

Wow! Great blog.. I really like to go to Australia and explore all exotic destinations there.. I am hoping that you will also visit our country Philippines and discover more exotic places and/or destinations there. You can also taste and experience the ever breath-taking sceneries. and if you're already decided to go to our extreme country, don't forget to bring the camera with you.. you can never forget every moments you will see there.. thanks!

What a nice read! Reading every post is like going to the places. You're really good at your job, describing all those places in vivid detail. However, I do hope you put in some photos with the text in your posts so readers may get a more visual glimpse of the vacation spots you're describing. The words you used are very well-chosen. It would also be nice to include more of the culture of the people in the locations, such as festivals and rituals that a tourist might be able to take part in. I think it's awesome that you included precautions and "what-to-do-before-going" tips. Cool blog!

Thank you for taking me to all those wonderful places I have wished to share but couldn't get there. Is so great to hear others experiences of exotic locations and know they are out there to be experienced and enjoyed. My imagination is still sitting on a secluded beach enjoying a wonderful sunset thanks to my moments on your blog.

I am intersted in travel so thought I would check this out. Good reading though at some point along the way I began to wonder if the blogger was writing from his own experience or putting stuff which he had read, together. Some nice pics would have helped, travel writing goes together with good photographs.

Well,the blog is intersting.The subject is intersting indeed.
The contents are pretty decent.
The post Galapagos Islands: Where history comes alive is excellent.
Hope you will take these things into consideration.
~Good if you place a search option.
~The template is not all that
good,readability is poor.
~the blog seems to be too long.

But in total your log is good and informative.Good Job.

This is a great resource on holidays, the information is comprehensive and provides a lot of scope. For me (and I may be alone here!) I would like to see more pictures - more palm trees, blue ocean-like background, more places for the eye to roam. Being a holiday blog it would be more interesting for the reader to see the pictures on the blog, not just on the links pages. I did enjoy the information however, and would use this as a reference when planning a holiday.

Lovely dreams! I often do dream of wafting off to an exotic location surrounded by swaying palm trees, the ocean gently lapping on the shore, a pina colada to my right and, perhaps, a margarita on my mind. But then, I remember, I did that and was being paid for it when I lived on a couple of islands on the Great Barrier Reef. Thanks for reminding me of halcyon days.

Nice read if you love vacations...

As a Singaporean, I don't think a trip to Singapore would be an exotic vacation. In fact, other than high-rise buildings and shopping malls, there are hardly any place of interests worth visiting.

The entry on July 16, drawn from Streetdirectory.com contains too much hyperbole about the attraction of the city state. It's like checking out a company by asking its PR agency.

Reviewed by ExpatJane:

Well, it's okay if you haven't traveled and don't know where to find information on travel destinations on the Internet. It gives the links to other websites, but it's pretty much a cut and paste job from various sources.

It's nice to see it one location, but there are sites like Lonely Planet or even Yahoo! Travel that have already compiled all of this information. You'd do better simply running a websearch on your destination and seeing what comes up.

Nice site, interesting topic on Aloe, the best part is the combination of pictures and good solid info. I will keep this blog in my bookmarks for the future.

But i can imagine every places you tell me, its a really wonderful places.. hope i can go to that place someday not just by reading an exotic place articles.. keep the good works!

Reviewed by Tom:

I enjoyed this site. I love to travel and have been to a number of the locations. He gives a nice concise feel for the places.

Everyone needs to travel more and learn about other cultures. So many Americans never leave our shores or only go to Mexico or Canada. There is a big world out there. At the same time others need to travel and visit the US. Only by visiting other countries can we hope to achieve peace in the world as we start to learn and understand each other.

You get a nice taste of each of the destinations he reviewed. Keep up the good work.

Reviewed by David:

Well I have been to many of the places I read about that are mentioned in this blog and it is very accurate when I read the summary of the places and the advice given. This blog is a good read and can be considered a good resource by its readership.

I have definately added this blog to my favorites to continue to read now and then!

Reviewed by Gellert Varga:

This blog is awesome! I'm really interested in exotic travel and this site has the greatest informations on it. The content is incerdible. As people say it would be great if Laurentiu can put up some nice pictures. I really liked his article called "The Best Beaches in Florida". An another good thing about the site that it is not full with advertisements.

Looking forward to visit the site daily!

Reviewed by Ted Richardson:

This blog is a fascinating, well written and informative way to do a little arm chair travelling. It is also (from my personal experiences) fairly accurate and written from a more personal perspective than most "travel sites" available on the web.

Reviewed by Donny:

Cool blog! I am an avid traveler and dream of visiting the places mentioned in this blog. Obviously, the author is well traveled and is an excellent researcher. This blog is a wealth of information about far off places. It really gets your imagination going.

Reviewed by Katie:

very good blog - i really like the fact that it talks through every small deatail of the day - reads like a book and is beatifully written.

The only thing that i would comment on is that again it is quite wordy which may put people off on first inspection.

Reviewed by Donna:

This is a very informative blog and Laurentiu has put a great deal of effort into the content but I think that it would be nice if there were some pictures of these great destinations that he writes about. I particularly liked his posts about the Mauritius vacation and The Forbidden City in China.

Reviewed by Shannon:

I am ready to go! The places you featureed sound beautiful. I've been to Mexico but you have increased my desire for international travel. The destinations you have featured are definitely going to be on my "places to see" list, especially Hong Kong. I look forward to see the other locations will be featured at your site.

Reviewed by Young-digger:

Great information and descriptions about the various exotic places around the world. However I would like to see some pictures included as the article seemed very long winded and it would be nice to relate the wording with the actual images of what sounds like some truly amazing places.

Reviewed by Newrt:

I have planned for a vacation for some time now. Looks like this blog will give me some ideas and it did. Too bad the blog owner hasn't written many articles. But still a nice collection. I love personal travel stories. I hope to see those more.
Planning is everything.

Thanks for the nice read.

Reviewed by Chris:

This blog is what it says it is - a blog on exotic vacations. Anyone who is planning to travel should reseach where they are going before they get there. This blog should be on the list of places to search. Lots of great information on various locations and well explained and easy to read.

Reviewed by Kristen Roberts:

This blog is great. I enjoy traveling although I do not get to do much of it and I have never been outside of the United States. I hope to take a romantic exotic vacation with my husband someday (especially since we never had a honeymoon) and I am definitely going to keep checking this blog for suggestions!

Reviewed by Serafina:

This blog was a very good idea. I've traveled- not too much, but enough to comment- and it has always been difficult for me to find out where to go, where to stay, not from a tourist website, because those are just promotional and aren't people giving personal advice. I've found that the best way to get recommendations is through word of mouth, and this blog is really good in that sense, because it gives personal opinions on places.

Reviewed by Mark:

I like this blog because I am interested in it's subject, exotic vacations. I really want to go on some exotic vacations in the future as so far in my life the most exotic vacation has been going to Las Vegas, which isn't that far from where I live really. I need to travel more. So i will keep Laurentiu's blog in mind when I am ready to go somewhere because I see he put some effort into choosing the articles. they are informative and interesting.

Reviewed by Helen Palmer:

This blog is right up my street! I love to travel and see some of the magnificent things in our world, and even better I can get to do it from the comfort of my own armchair.

Getting a taste of the place through other's experiences is a great way to start the adventure of a visit of your own.

Keep up the good work and why not look at my own particular favourite, South Africa, billed as a "world within one country"?

As an avid traveler, I was excited to see a blog dedicated to exotic locations. Lucky for me, two of the locations covered are on my list in the next year - Egypt and Hawaii. The articles are written by different "experts" and are very informative. The information I got about Hawaii confirmed that I'm on the right track with my planning!
