Helping You Make Better Travel Choices. Why not Subscribe to find out how? We provide travel tips for those looking to explore what the world has to offer. See our experiences Cruising and Holidaying all over the world. LIFE IS BETTER OUT THERE …..SOMEWHERE! Time is precious so we fill it with fun, adventure and exploring. Not much point being called Cook if you dont like exploring! We like to cruise and post about the ports we visit.. The sights and culture. We go back and holiday in places we like for a deeper experience. We are keen ramblers too and use our feet to get deep into the countryside. We like to navigate marked long distance paths and trails. Living in middle England we are spoilt for choice on trails to follow. Owning scooters and a couple of 45 year old mopeds we also like to ride through the winding lanes and beautiful English countryside. The wind in our face and the smells from the fields … life is good when you are OUT THERE…. SOMEWHERE!

What Creators Are Saying About COOKSExplore
I've never once gone to Giovani's and thought, 'Oh, that really broke the bank.' Like it's too good and too affordable to pass up.

Bryan and Jaidyn
I'm very happy to be able to provide this decked top tobottom tour of one of my favorite ships, Oceanana Cruis's Riviera.

Peter Knego's MidShipCinema
This game is actually very easy and very simple. As you see, Johan the Yodeler is trying to climb the mountain, okay?

They made it all the way to England, went out for dinner, and someone stole their backpack that had their passports in it.

Let's Go! Travel Tips

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“If there's one thing you absolutely cannot miss when visiting Shanghai, it's the river night cruise.”
“The tiny Fijian island of Dravuni provided us with one of the best snorkeling experiences we've had anywhere in the world.”
“And after all that snorkeling, you can sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy views like this. Gravina is some place. Paradise definitely found.”
“Of all the places we travel around the world and we've traveled a fair bit, this is the happiest and friendliest place we've ever ever encountered.”
“If paradise exists, it's probably somewhere very close to here. Just look at these beaches and views, and this is exactly what we wanted from this cruise.”
“Oh, this one is one of the worst tours we've ever been on.”
“Mish. One out of 10 for the first part of the leg.”
“finding blood products from the previous occupants in the bathroom was really unacceptable.”
“There was one issue that tipped us over the edge, and it was pretty unpleasant, and that was blood all over the shower curtain when we got into the shower last night.”
“the food was cold throughout our time on board and they just simply couldn't keep any of their hot meals warm at all”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for COOKSExplore.
If you only have time for one excursion outside central Shanghai, Zhujiajiao water town is a fantastic choice.
Make the Huangpu River night cruise your top priority if your cruise schedule allows.
Consider visiting the Zhabei district for a more authentic, local atmosphere away from the crowds.
Bring a bottle of water when visiting Suva/Colo-I-Suva.
Wear proper walking shoes or trainers with good grip; leave flip-flops on the ship.
Wear lightweight clothing due to humidity.
Bring swimwear if you want to swim in the waterfall pools.
Choose the longer trail if you want to experience the full rainforest and all three waterfalls.
