Best Passports to Own (posted near the bottom of the
page)
Travel Notes; Most countries offer
Visa Free travel for Europeans, Australians, Canadians and Americans. All
other travelers may be required to obtain Visas for each country in advance of
travel. Please check with a local travel agent before purchasing any flights
or other modes of travel.
Travel Advise; The world is large
and it's cultures are diverse and varied, so please keep these issues in mind.
Be patient and courteous and while you must remain aware...do not become
paranoid or over protective. Do not be afraid to greet people with a smile or
make eye contact, as not doing so is quite rude and often taken as offensive
by locals. Always be prepared to barter prices, as it is a way of life in most
areas and never pay their asking price, but then again do not insult sellers
with ridiculous counter offers. Most people are not aware that nearly every
thing can be negotiated, even hotels, as well as tour guides, local
transportation, and rentals, such as bikes, scooters and cars.
Preparing for your trip; Check the
weather for the time of year and bring just enough clothes and articles that
you will absolutely require. Do not over pack or carry things you can
absolutely live without, as most items can be purchased at quite reasonable
prices along the way. Do not bring non-prescribed medications, as they may be
banned or even illegal in some parts of the world. Do not accept any large
gifts from anyone, as there may be hidden contraband inside. Small gifts, such
as hand made jewelry, etc. are fine.
Security at airports; Make sure
you pack items that may not be allowed as a carry on in your checked baggage,
such as bottle liquids, nail clippers, small knives, scissors and etc. I,
personally, carry a small shoulder bag and when in security lines I move all
items from my pockets, belt buckle, pens, etc. into the bag. It is wiser and
easier than placing them in a basket. When traveling with a laptop or other
electronic device make sure it can easily and quickly be removed, as they must
be placed in in a separate basket for inspection. Also be sure to have your
passports and travel documents, such as boarding pass, readily accessible. If
everyone followed these simple steps the security lines would be a lot less
frustrating.
Things to consider; Do your best
to obtain maps of interest for each city you plan on visiting before you leave
home. Most are available at local travel and book stores. Try to absorb the
localities and blend in. Do not poise yourself as tourists. Do not flash valuables or
expensive cameras, watches, etc. Never let anyone assist you in using an ATM
or offer their services as a guide, etc. Never leave your Passport with
anyone, not even with the hotel. Inform them you will be needing the Passport
in obtaining other Visas, etc. and that they may make and keep a copy of the
Passport's main page. I never give or leave my Passport with anyone, not even
when asked by local authorities, police or otherwise. I keep several copies
and show those only. In some incidences police and travel agents, hotel
clerks, etc. may bribe you into returning it, or may even copy the documents for
reselling. There are no laws anywhere that enforce you to surrender your
passport except to an official Embassy representative of your country. Do not
leave these documents in the hotel safe or in a bag. Keep them in your front
pocket if possible.
Criminal Issues; Never browse
around like you are lost, even if you are. Walk into a lounge or store with
your map. Most people are quite ready to assist even if they may not
understand your language. Show them the map and where you wish to go. Be aware
that while most taxi drivers speak a little English some are very reluctant to
try, so carry your map to show them your desired destination. Always get a
business card from your hotel and give one to each person in your party.
Showing it to a policeman or taxi driver will help immensely in returning
without a hassle. When browsing never, but never, carry over the equivalency of $200US in
local currency and keep the money in a separate pocket. There are several
reasons to do so. 1. You will not drop anything important when pulling
the funds from your pocket. 2. If you are robbed you will have quick
access to the money without exposing other valuables. If someone with a
weapon, or is quite aggressive as to create fear that he/they could harm
you demands your money...quickly and smoothly reach into the pocket where the
money is and lay it on the ground, sidewalk, etc. beside you. Do not hand it
to the robbers and do not allow them to get close enough to grab you. Once you
lay the money down do not say a word and especially do not ask or wait for
their permission to leave...simple walk hurriedly away. I have faced this
situation a few times and I just threw the money down scattering it somewhat
and then walked away while the man was picking it up. If you are overly
frighten or timid it may excite or even confuse the robber as what to do next.
By walking away you have made the decision for the both of you. If you carry a
wallet keep some cash in it, but do not place your credit cards, ID and other
redeemable assets in the wallet...keep them separate. This way if they demand
your wallet...give it to them and leave.
*In addition; Always know where
each member of your party are going and when they are
expected to return. And make sure each person retains a copy of each other's
passport or retain the copies in your bags. If you lose or have your
ATM or credit cards stolen do not hesitate to call your bank or card issuer for
canceling. Be sure to carry extra ATM or credit cards in a safe place
for emergency use.
About Me; My name is Michael
Smith, the touring editor for Travelers Digest. I have traveled the globe for
30 years and spent considerable time in over 120 countries and in most cities,
large and small. I seldom book or stay in luxury hotels, as I know that being
too comfortable makes for complacency, which is not good when on vacation.
Staying in a not so comfortable hotel prompts one to get out and explore. I
witnessed so many people staying in 4 and 5 star hotels and resorts never
really seeing anything of the area, spending most of their time in the pool or
spa and/or in the hotel's lounge. To me that is such a wasteful and
unrewarding way to spend a vacation. A person could more readily and with less
expense simply have checked into a local hotel in their own city. Get out,
explore, get lost, wander the streets, rivers, canals, visit the area's
culture areas, museums, stop for coffee or eateries at sidewalk cafes, browse
through the parks and relax while absorbing the local culture.
I never, never over dress...never wear
any expensive or any jewelry other than my old Bolivar watch and I never buy
things I have to lug around. I usually give things that I had bought to other
less fortunate people. I never keep myself too neat or trimmed and usually
blend in with the locals. If I am walking with someone in a not so good area I
do not speak to them when locals are approaching. I only nod and half smile
when people gawk or stare. I acknowledge them without providing an opening for
further contact or conversation. I do, however, find that most Americans when
traveling are very cold, unfriendly and avoid eye contact at all costs. This I
find is unproductive and instills an instant antagonistic reaction from
others.
Purchasing Airline tickets. Before
booking your flights on-line, through an agency, or even with the airlines,
pick up a local Sunday paper and browse through the travel section for special
fares. In that regard, make sure the offered flights, etc. are from a
reputable company. I have bought round trip tickets for 2 persons from Los
Angeles, CA. with a stop in New York and on to Reykjavik, Iceland with a 1
month stop-over, and then flying onto Amsterdam with the same ticket and all
for only $400 USD per person. So shop for the best fares, keeping in mind your
dates and always check out the routes, stops and layovers. Sometimes saving
money on flights can be a real nightmare.
Rail Passes. Hop on and off at any
stop. When traveling
through Europe be sure to buy a Euro Train Pass before leaving your
home country. They are usually not available or are expensive when purchasing
them in Europe. The train passes offer a varied assortment of travel, such as
by days and/or by specific countries. Be sure to obtain a rail pass that will
give you the best options for traveling throughout your desired regions. You
can ride trains from London through the channel tunnel into and through
France, to Spain, on to Portugal and back along the French coast to Monaco
then through Germany, Belgium, Netherlands onto Switzerland...through every
city in Italy and down to Venice. Then you can continue onto Vienna Austria,
Warsaw, Copenhagen Denmark, across to Oslo Norway and so on. You can rail down to
Budapest, the Czech Republic, Odessa Ukraine down into Bulgaria and Greece and
back up into Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania and with an Asia Pass you can ride the rails across Russia...transverse onto Siberia,
Mongolia, and spend a week visiting the Forbidden City and the Great
Wall of China in Beijing and then down to the ultra modern city of Hong Kong and
do it all with moderately priced rail passes.
*From South America to Patagonia onto Iceland to and
around Europe, as well as down to Africa and on to Asia. The global adventure tour of
your dreams can be designed and booked with our company. Email us your regions
of interest, what you want to see and do, your potential dates, the length of
your trip, number of adults and/or children, any special needs or handicaps,
as well as your level of required comfort, such as B&Bs, 3, 4, 5 start hotels,
resorts, etc.

Flights
to Reykjavik can be booked from most international cities. Make sure your
passport has 6 or months validity and check with a local travel agent for Visa
requirements.
If you have a lot of time and even modest
funds and
really want to see the world of the Atlantic I would
suggest first flying to Reykjavik, Iceland, rent a car and totally drive
around the small, but phenomenal country. It, in it's entirety is a most awe
inspiring land of the midnight sun in the summer and the land of mysterious
shadows in the winter. Fjords, people-less alien terrain, lunar valleys and
jagged snow covered peaks and volcanoes. Ice-fields, frozen lakes, hidden
rivers and all in all is one of the most fascinating lands of the world. From
the ancient city of Akureyri on the north coast you can board a ship and sail all the way to another land of
frozen myths...Greenland. When on this journey I filmed sharks, abundant sea
life and with so many whales I never left the stern of the ship. Even though
I was pretty much frozen in place my digital Nikon never failed to capture
amazing photographs of mountainous shores, ice fields and playfully spirited
whales. Allow yourself about three weeks for the Iceland journey. Bring digital
cameras with extra chips and batteries, warm clothes and goose-down jackets as
well as sunscreen and sun glasses. While it can get cold it does not have
extreme winters, but the sun is more intense.
"Why the old
Norsemen who first came here gave such an icy name to a such a green country
is a mystery, but there is an old legend: the first Viking to discover the
island wanted to keep it all to himself, so he named the green country
“Iceland” and the icy country “Greenland,” hoping that future settlers would
head further north."

entertaining video of London set to an unforgettable song
Preferably, I'd rather fly into
Manchester than to London's Heathrow, which is quite far and an expensive ride
into London. Manchester is a small easily accessible airport with several car
rentals just across the street. We rented a mid-size car and where my
experience in Africa, Australia and new Zealand I had little difficulty in
driving on the left. We drove around Manchester for a few hours, as it is also quite an attractive and historic
city into itself. Major highways lead from the city going to Wales or
Scotland. Wales, at least to me, is rather a backwards country with foggy
mountains and shores, small quiet, but unfriendly villages and towns, where
the locals quickly switch from their commonly spoke English to their Cymraeg
in preference to Welsh native language when a stranger approaches. The time I
spent there was unpleasant to say the least. Stopped and questioned by the
local police, stared out quit rudely by the locals and even refused service at
a few pubs...so not one of my most pleasant memories. They just seemed really
paranoid as if they were waiting on the next sea attack from the Nazis. The
hillsides were clouded in fog as well as were the shorelines...giving the
small country a very cold damp unwelcoming mystic. I was, however, impressed
by a few of their centuries old cemeteries...really mind boggling in a
historical sense.
After just three days in Wales we headed
to what we hoped would be a much more inspiring and friendly
country...Scotland. I have always had a thing for the country, as they were
steadfast against the Romans and fought the British Empire for centuries. In
my mind they were a staunch champion for independence and besides...I had
always wanted to wear a Kilt. Not really too interested in learning to play
the bagpipes, even though I do enjoy it's haunting bellows. The drive was
good, as the highways were quick and well kept. Not much to see along the
way...just miles and miles of farmland and small stone cottages.
Ahhh...Scotland at last, well actually it was only a few hours drive from
Wales, but my moody spirits faded just knowing we had crossed the border.
Glasgow here we come.
Scotland
Scotland covers an area which makes up over one third of Great Britain; it is
part of the UK with borders to England
in the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west and the North Sea to
the east. The capital city of Scotland is Edinburgh, which is one of the
largest financial centres to be found in Europe. Although Scotland is part of
the United Kingdom, it has its own government; the Kingdom of Scotland was
formed in 1707, making Scotland an Independent state.
There are five international airports in
Scotland these being Inverness airport, Glasgow Prestwick airport, Aberdeen
airport, Edinburgh airport and Glasgow International airport. Scotland is also
a gifted with a great road system, featuring motorways and major trunk roads
into almost every area of the country, along with an expansive rail system.

Glasgow
The largest city to be found in Scotland
is Glasgow; it is also the third most highly populated city in the UK. Glasgow
makes a great choice of location from which to explore the rest of Scotland,
especially if you choose to rent your own vehicle, as the weather in Scotland
can be extreme even in summer months. There are a host of interesting sites
and points of interest to be found within day’s drive of Glasgow, making it a
great place from which to take day trips or excursions. (Above photo of
Castle)
Glasgow, European City of Culture in
1990, has something for everyone. There is underground subway rail system and
excellent bus and rail network for negotiating your way around and exploring
one on the many wondrous sights such as George Square, the city's focal point,
with its central 80ft column and statue to Sir Walter Scott, the Kelvingrove
museum and galleries, the splendid Glasgow Cathedral, Gallery Of Modern Art,
St. Mungo's Museum Of Religious Life And Art, and Glasgow Science Centre with
it's rotating viewing tower for fantastic views of the city. Enjoy some of the
50 plus clubs and 100 or so pubs and bars.
You will be spoilt for choice in shopping. Glasgow offers excellent food with
cuisines from around the world presented by some of the best chefs in the
Scotland . Glasgow offers easy access to some of Scotland 's beautiful
mountains, glens, lochs and unspoilt coastline. Loch Lomond , for instance, is
only 20 miles away.
Love Skiing.
Visit Glasgow's indoor slope.
SNO!zone
It is a massive indoor ski centre SNO!zone, though, one of
the company’s three sites in the UK where winter sporting types can find real
snow all year round. Opened in 2006, the giant refrigerator that is SNO!zone
features a 200 metre main slope, a 50 metre practice slope, contains around
1500 tons of real snow and manufactures (recycles, actually) around 30 more
tons every night.

Possibly the most well-known place close to Glasgow is Loch Lomond. This is
the largest natural lake to be found anywhere in the British Isles, being 24
miles long and half a mile across at its widest point. In recent years Loch
Lomond has been incorporated into the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park,
and in a recent survey of the UK it was named the 6th greatest natural feature
of Great Britain.
Loch Lomond has a whole host of
activities available to the visitor; the famous Loch Lomond Golf Club hosts
many national and international events each year including the Scottish Open.
Due to its incredible scenery and outstanding natural beauty, Loch Lomond has
become a favourite boating area; the lake is available for use for all kinds
of boating from kayaking through to inland cruising. In recent years the
National Park Authority has attempted to reach some form of equilibrium with
regards to balanced use of Loch Lomond between land-based tourism and water
users, the result of this has been that in many areas of Loch Lomond a speed
limit has been imposed of no more than 10 km per hour, in other areas of the
Lake this speed limit raises to 90 km per hour.
Be sure to drive around Lake Loch Ness,
which is located in the North of Scotland and is one of a series of
interlinked lochs which run along the Great Glen. The Great Glen is a
distinctive incision which runs across the country and represents a large
geological fault zone. The interlinking was completed in the 19th century
following the completion of the Caledonian Canal. For many years it has been
supposed that there is a large dinosaur-like "monster" resident in Loch Ness.
The evidence for its existence are a series of sightings of a plesiosaur-like
dinosaur throughout the last 100 years. The case has occasionally been
supported by indistinct photographic evidence.
Keep you eyes opened for old
Nessie, the mysterious Loch Ness Monster.
After 4 glorious days of wandering
throughout the ancient and inspiring city of Glasgow of enjoying Scottish
hospitality, several back-packer inns, a few bagpipe serenades with men in
kilts we headed off on a long drive covering a 1000 mile wander through the
glorious Scottish hill, rivers and lakes. It was one of my personal best and
most relaxing journeys. And no...we never saw ole Nessie, but the green, treed
and flowered countryside and centuries old castles more than made up for it.

Edinburgh
After spending a few days of leisurely
driving around Scotland we arrived in Edinburgh just a few hours after lunch.
We were so impressed with the city we made our way to the city center and
parked. grabbing our cameras we walked and walked around the center for hours,
stopping in small sidewalk cafes for some local treats and strong coffee and
strolled into museums, art galleries. Absorb the culture we lingered in the
awe of this old city of history not wanting to end the day. Finally awaking
from our hypnotic trance right before dark we bought a small map and found our
way to our pre-booked hotel.
After another week we decided to head
into Northern Ireland...another home to a part of my ancestral heritage. My
Father was Scottish, Swedish and Irish. The blood of explorers, while my
native American Mothers blood gave me a deep respect for our planet.
We bade our farewells to Edinburgh and
drove into the port city of England...Liverpool, home of the Beatles We called
the Manchester car rental company and received permission to take the car
across the channel to the 2 Irelands. We arrived quiet early into Liverpool
and spent a few hours checking out the studio where the Beatles first recorded
their magic and then drove the car down to Holyhead to board the transport
ferry for the 3+ hour journey to Dublin, Ireland.
The ship was fairly smooth, but due to
the windy wave conditions there were a few times the big ship rocked quite
violently. Arriving around 4;PM we had some daylight left so we made our way
into the rich heritage city of my childhood dreams...red haired lassies,
castles, rainbows with pots of gold and leprechauns. Would I be disappointed...never,
as I felt a connection deep in my bones to my ancestors...their struggles of
poverty, starvation during the potato famine and their fraught decision to
board an old rickety ship to sail in the cargo holds across the treacherous
Atlantic to a country called America. My grandfather once told me"that
everyone proclaimed that America's streets were paved with gold. He went on to
say that not only were the streets not paved with gold...they weren't paved at
all and they expected the Irish to pave them."
Ireland
Watch the beautiful
and haunting Music Video of Ireland
We spent 2 nights exploring Dublin,
during the day wandering the streets and byways of the pub congested city. By
night we ventured into countless bars, clubs and taverns and never once did we
buy our own drinks. The Irish men were as portrayed on the big screen...loud,
boisterous, but as friendly as any peoples on the planet. They loved meeting
visitors from afar and were always anxious to share some brews and wild tales.
I may also add...that the Irish women were even more beautiful than I had
imagined. Quick with a flashy smile and wet sparkles of flirting in their eyes
of blue and green. They could drink as much as the men and hold it better than
most. Drunk or sober...they were wild petals of pure sensuality.

Back in our car we headed south
along winding roads through the world's greenest hills and meadows...slowly
but surely we made our way to Ireland's second largest city...Cork. The laid
back spirit of Ireland beckons everyone to wander it's rocky cliffs and shores,
and all those that do...fall in it's trance of melancholy and romance.
Want to be the next Jason Bourne? A world class traveler? Or a global
wanderer?
Which is the best passport to own? US? Switzerland?
Canada? UK? See interesting results below.
The Henley Visa Restrictions Index is a global ranking of
countries according to travel freedom their citizens enjoy. Henley &
Partners has analyzed the visa regulations of all the countries and
territories in the world. It has created an index which ranks countries
according to the visa-free access its citizens enjoy to other countries.
This is the first time that a global ranking shows the international travel
freedom of the citizens of the various countries as well as the
international relations and status of individual countries relative to
others.
Note: There are 195 countries in the world. The following
ranking does not take into consideration such factors as negative perception
the world has of a given country's passport (e.g. US in the Middle East) or
the vigor in which a country will back and aid their citizens in another
country in case of emergency situations, arrests, etc. The study is solely
based on visa free access.
The winner? Denmark, although the material difference
between the top 10 countries (24 nations in total due to ties) is probably
negligible (access to 157 countries vs. 146). US (#3) & Canada (#4) are have
just a one country difference and are only two and three countries less than
#1 Denmark in terms of visa free access. Says Henley, "The Canadian passport
is one of the best-regarded in the world and offers extensive visa-free
travel."
The Score
represents the number of Countries of Visa Free Travel for each Passport.
