Rio 2016 – NoMasCoach style!
As many of you, our loyal readers know, we had the opportunity to head down to Rio de Janeiro just a few weeks ago for the Rio 2016 Olympics. We booked everything fairly last minute so it’s quite a miracle that we managed to get everything lined up so perfectly. Over the next week and change we’ll bring you some of the reviews of the first and business class products that we flew along with some first hand...
Morning stroll through Copenhagen
A short while ago we had the opportunity to enjoy a 1 day layover in Copenhagen before another one of our adventures, so in order to make the best of a quick trip, we decided to head out of our hotel early (around 8am) and get some sights, hopefully out of the prying eyes of other tourists! The streets and the canals were devoid of people, except for a few locals heading out to the markets. In just under 3 hours this strip would turn...
Zambia: Walking with Rhinos
Since our visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa, I had been dead set on seeing rhinos, at least from a shorter distance. It turned out it wasn’t meant to be until we got to Zambia. It is worth noting that in 2010, the population of white rhinos in Zambia was a shocking total of 1. Yes, ONE. Thankfully, the country sprung into action and relocated 4 white rhinos from South Africa to Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya...
The Journey to Victoria Falls…
In continuing our African Journey, we headed from Nelspruit to Victoria Falls to experience something that made Niagara Falls look like a runny faucet. South African Airlink, much like Skywest with Delta, runs some of the shorter flights inside South Africa and beyond, and the flight itself wasn’t too much to write home about. A coach only flight, the seats were pretty cramped and the service basic, but at a total price of...
Eating our way through the South African Bush
One of the best parts of traveling to a new country is getting to sample some of the local food, and what better way that going to a small, out of the way, locals only restaurant in the middle of the bush?

Flying Private – Truly a NoMasCoach experience
It wouldn’t be a truly No Mas Coach experience if we weren’t able to share an experience that truly is not coach at all… flying private in Europe. We headed to Paris this year for Christmas to see a good friend of ours. The plan originally was to stay for three days in Paris and then head down to Malaga, stay for a night, and drive the coast of Spain up and into Valencia for New Years 2016. As the dates approached, he let us know that...

Hilton Luxor Hotel and local Tours
Hilton Luxor Hotel and Tours Luxor is a quick one-hour flight down the Nile from Cairo, but it couldn’t be more different. Its not nearly as populated, not nearly as crowded, and the ruins are completely different from those in Cairo and Giza.

Guess who’s going to the Olympics?!
Well, WE are! In a very interesting plot twist, a friend of mine managed to get us Opening Ceremony tickets (obrigado, gato!) and we have decided to attend, which means we had to cancel our plans (and tickets!) for our trip to Helsinki, Tallinn and Saint Petersburg. As this is a last minute change of plans, we had to do our best to secure flights down to Rio, which as you can imagine is not easy given that this is an extremely popular...
Zen, interrupted
We don’t get a lot of opportunities to wind down and relax as often as we should, what with both of us having a full time job on the side and having the arduous job of traveling the world. So when we do, and I finally go to my happy place and find my inner peace/Zen or whatever you want to call it, you do NOT want to abruptly yank me out of there. Jon can probably attest to the fact I am not a very nice person when that happens and I...
