Top 10 Most Visited Places in the World

Los Angeles
Los Angeles has littered the world with its paraphernalia. LA may be a figment of its own imagination, but if you long to stand in the footsteps of stars and breathe their hallowed air, you've come to the right place. Starlit and moonstruck, LA beguiles scores of curious tourists, hopeful starlets and wannabe rock musicians each day.

Chicago
Chicago is a city that wears its American heart proudly on its sleeve. The city's diverse ethnic mix has built a city with an unrivalled tradition of jazz and blues, an astonishing architecture, an appetite for hearty food, award-winning newspapers, universities full of Nobel laureates and some of the most die-hard sports fans you'll ever meet.

Tokyo
Tokyo is the capital of Japan. At over 12 million people in the official metropolitan area alone, Tokyo shares borders with Chiba prefecture to the east along the Edogawa River, Yamanashi to the west along a mountain range, Kanagawa in the south along the Tamagawa River, and Saitama in the north.

London
London is the capital and largest city of both the United Kingdom and of England, and the largest city in Western Europe. Situated on the River Thames in South-East England, Greater London has an official population of roughly 7.5 million people although the figure of over 14 million for the city's total metropolitan area more accurately reflects London's size and importance.

Milan
Milan, located in the northernmost Lombardy region, has had an eclectic history of rulers (Roman, Spanish, Austrian, etc.) due to its proximity to the rest of Europe and is therefore far more independently spirited and multicultural than the southern Italian peninsula.

Las Vegas

Paris
Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is - with 2.2 million people living in zone 1 (Central Paris) and another 9.9 million people in the suburbs (la banlieue) - one of the largest cities in Europe.

Top Ten Fashion Designers to Watch in 2010

With so many designers graduating and moving into the fashion industry each year, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with who is who and what they are doing. There are always some that stand out from the crowd and quickly gain a following as well as those that produce amazing and very wearable clothes but manage to stay under the radar with a much smaller following.

Here is our guide to the designers to watch for 2010 including those with a fast growing popularity and the under the radar names that are producing some very desirable offerings.

Ashish - started in 2001 by Ashish Gupta, this label has quickly earnt its fashion stripes among the trendsetting elite. Last season wedges by Ashish were big news and for SS10 collaboration with Topshop has cemented the place of Ashish among the UK's hippest designers and labels. The label created clothes that make women really stand out from the crowd with sequin encrusted brightly coloured pieces for SS10 including a dress with a brightly coloured map design in sequins.

Phoebe Philo for Celine - Celine was a label that had started to lose its way a little but all of that changed when Phoebe Philo joined last year. Her first collection in June last year definitely showed that the former Chloe designer meant business with a collection of utilitarian pieces, with an emphasis on industrial touches like zips and chunky crystals. The look was a stark contrast to her usual style of frilly feminine pieces but has won her plenty of attention and many in the fashion know will have earmarked some of these classic staple pieces for their wardrobes.

Holly Fulton - Holly Fulton won the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award for Accessories at the British Fashion Awards in 2009. Since then she has made everyone sit up and take note with her striking and bold graphic pieces with large pieces of statement jewellery that integrate into the clothing designs. Her jewellery was noticed by none other than Alber Elbaz and he definitely has impeccable taste.

Acne - originally just selling jeans the Swedish brand Acne has gone from strength to strength over the past few years. Expect more exciting developments for 2010 with their clean sleek tailoring and spot on shoes and accessories.

David Koma - If any designer should be noted for his increased popularity and celebrity following in 2009, it is David Koma. His dresses were seen on Cheryl Cole and Rhianna. His bodycon styles are bold bright and sculptural and are made by layering curved panels of leather, bonded silks and fine wools. For SS10 his inspiration is taken from scuba diving with bright neon colours and unusual proportions.

Ohne Titel - This design duo formed by Flora Gill and Alexa Adams after meeting at Parsons School of Design has been hovering under the fashion radar for a few seasons now with those in the fashion know keeping the secret to themselves. In 2010 Ohne Titel is likely to start really showing what it is about on the world stage with its architectural shapes, soft draping and keen attention to detail in fit and finish. In January of 2009 OHNE TITEL won the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award for women's wear. OHNE TITEL was nominated into the top 10 for the 2009 CFDA/ Vogue Fashion Fund Award. The label was also nominated for the 2009 Swiss Textiles Award.

Michael Van Der Ham - The award of NEWGEN status is often a good indication that a designer is on the up. Michael Van Der Ham has received plenty of attention for his MA collection which pieced together clothes from different eras. His clothes are perfect for strong women who are not afraid to express themselves through their clothes. He was also awarded the L'Oreal Professional Fashion Design Award and given a place at Fashion East Catwalk Show.

Maia Norman - Graduate of Parsons School of Art and design, Californian Surfer now living in North Devon and wife of Damian Hurst, it is no surprise that her label Mother of Pearl is exciting, innovative and very artistic. Her SS10 collection contains some very desirable pieces that are decorated with designs from different artist collaborations. Most notable are the Ape designs on cream jackets and tops which and beautiful pieces of art but also very wearable.

Christopher Raeburn- Christopher is making his name as the nest big thing in eco fashion design. His work is not just desirable for its environmental credentials though. For SS10 his collection of street wear inspired glamour made from recycled military surplus has caused a bit of a stir. A beautiful silk parachute dress was particularly noteworthy. He has also been selected for the prestigious NEWGEN Sponsorship.

Clemency London - This label debuted at Harvey Nichols in autumn 2009 and looks like it could be earning itself a place in some of the elite fashion wardrobes. The designer Alison Buddenhagen has worked with Katherine Hamnett, Christopher Bailey at Burberry, as well as with Giorgio Armani for four years in Milan. Her last collection consisted of sophisticated pieces including crisp cut jackets in leather and wool, neat tailored dresses in nude and berry tones and hand-stitched French silk chiffon separates to layer.

The Top 10 Nature Adventure Travel Trips Worldwide

If you were asked to make a list of the ten best nature and wildlife adventure travel destinations and tours in the world, which would you choose?

Well, some of the contenders in the top adventure tours ranking list might surprise you or be the exact ones that you would have chosen yourself because the ranking is compiled by using trip reports and reviews from past travelers who have been there and experienced the adventure travel tours and destinations for themselves.

So here is the list of the top 10 nature adventure travel tours and destinations on earth in reverse order...

10. Madagascar

As far as unique wildlife goes, Madagascar takes the first prize. A total of 80% of the plant species and many of the animals are only found there and nowhere else in the world. The highlights on a Madagascar adventure travel trip are the many different kinds of lemur, chameleon and frogs that you are sure to see.

9. Great Barrier Reef

With over 1.8 million visitors per year, this world heritage site which is the largest structure on earth built by living organisms certainly deserves its place in the top 10 rankings. The amount and diversity of the marine life here is simply astonishing.

8. Polar Bear Trek

The time left to be able to see this magnificent predator in its natural habitat may be very short because they are threatened due to global warming and climate change. The polar bear is the biggest of its kind in the world and is at the top of the food chain with its only natural enemy being man.

7. Tiger Safari

The thrill of seeing this beautiful big cat from the back of an elephant in one of India's National Parks is incomparable. There are only around 6000 of them left in the world and they are very secretive so spotting one or more of them on safari is a rare privilege that not many people have had.

6. Whale Watching

They are so big that it almost seems impossible for flesh and blood to exist in such abundance and when they jump clear of the water (breaching) with that huge bulk the laws of physics seem to be suspended for a few moments. You only really appreciate just how massive whales are when you get close to them on a whale watching adventure travel tour.

You may also be lucky enough to be able to listen to them communicate through their complex language of whistles and squeaks.

5. Wildebeest Migration

If you thought rush hour was bad, try being a wildebeest in the Serengeti when about 1.5 million of your neighbors decide that it's time to hit the road to find better grazing and water, all at the same time. It is one of the biggest mass migrations in the world and all the predators like lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and crocodile feast when the migration moves through their territory.

4. Swim With Wild Dolphins

Everyone who does this comes back with an almost mystical appreciation of the fact that the dolphins choose to swim with them and even seem to enjoy the close company to humans. They sometimes come within touching distance of swimmers (but touching them is strictly not allowed) and leap from the water as if tempting the humans to copy them.

It's the connection with such an intelligent animal even though it is completely wild that makes this adventure travel experience so special.

Top Travel Destinations in Mexico

Cities like Acapulco, Cancun, Cozumel, and Puerto Vallarta have made many people realize that you can travel to Mexico with little problems or trouble. More importantly, these cities, as well as Los Cabos, Mazatlan, and Veracruz allow for the perfect couples or family retreats during vacation time.

When you want to travel to Mexico, Cancun is one of the top destinations. Located on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun provides several lagoons and sand bars, as well as gourmet restaurants, shopping attractions, and several ways to enjoy the ocean.

Just 60 miles south of Cancun is the lovely little town of Akumal. It used to be a sleepy little fishing village but it has become a tourist favorite with it's pristine beaches, laid back atmosphere and fantastic snorkeling and diving.

Cozumel is another popular place to travel in Mexico. Cozumel is well-known for being the largest island of the Mexican Caribbean. The Palancar Reef and the ocean floor around the island are perfect for divers, skin divers, and cruise ship guests that travel to Mexico for fun and sun.

The white sandy beaches of Acapulco are just one of the reasons why millions of people travel to Mexico each year. A sanctuary for the rich and famous, Acapulco is known for the glitz and glamour that it provides.

Guadalajara, which is second largest place to travel to in Mexico, is a largely economical and political city. It is also full of beautiful and historic buildings that display the history and culture of Guadalajara.

Two of the fastest growing places to travel in Mexico are Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Originally a haven for pirates, Los Cabos each offer a different type of environment for guests to enjoy. Cabo San Lucas has stylish hotels and condos with a number of sport fishing and water sports. San Jose del Cabo, however, is a quieter environment filled with beaches, golf, and shopping galore.

Puerto Vallarta has everything that you need when you travel to Mexico. It has multiple restaurant, golf, tennis, mountain biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, and everything that you need to do while enjoying your time and travels.

Also a popular tourist location, Veracruz is also one of the oldest cities. Activities like the country's Carnaval, local museums, the open-air markets, and much more provide plenty of things to keep you busy while on your trip.

No matter where you go or what you do, when you travel to Mexico you can have as relaxing, active, or cultural experience as you like. You can also visit historic buildings, listen to the music, and enjoy the beauty of any area of Mexico.

The Inukshuk - Symbol of the 2010 Olympics

In 2010 the Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, Canada. What an exciting time that proposes to be. With hundreds of athletes competing in sports like bob-sleighing, alpine skiing, luge, ice hockey, ski jumping, snow boarding, etc., the 2010 winter games will come alive for us all.

The symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics is the Inukshuk. Many do not know what this symbol means or what it represents. The logo which is representative of a stone figure in the Inuit culture depicts a little man formed by stones piled on top of one another. Called an Inukshuk, it is a stone marker that was used by the Inuit for centuries to help guide them through the northern Arctic terrain. Here is a little insight into this unique and lovely Olympic logo.

Even today, if you travel across the Canadian Arctic, you will see piles of rock and stone slabs built to resemble the shape of a person with their arms out-stretched. It is a classic symbol of the Canadian north. In the most basic terms, Inukshuk (pronounced 'in-ook-shook') means 'in the image of man'.

The Inuit used the Inukshuk to channel the caribou herds into areas where the Inuit hunters could easily hunt and capture them. Hunters often would hide behind the large Unukshuik (plural of Inukshuk) to help them in their hunting strategy of the caribou. The caribou had a huge role in the Inuit daily life and diet.

The Inukshuk can also be found along Arctic coastlines. Here they were used as navigational tools and markers to open channels. Many Inukshuk that are found inland were used as directional markers for travel. The longer arm of the Inukshuk would point the direction that the traveler should go.

Some Inukshuk's have a peep-hole located in their centre. The traveler would have to look through the peep-hole to locate another Inukshuk in the distance. In that way, they would know which direction to travel to.

The design chosen for the 2010 Olympic Games Inukshuk was created by Elena Rivera MacGregor and her team of designers. The design was chosen from 1,600 entries across Canada by an international panel of nine judges. The winning design is said to represent the culture, environment and people of Canada.

The 2010 Olympic Games Inukshuk will be named Ilanaaq, which means 'friend' in the Inuit language. What better message to put out during the 2010 Winter Olympics?
