Now just happens to be the best time to check out São Tomé and Príncipe, an untouched island nation off Africa's west coast. Between October and April every year since the beginning of time, marine turtles have crawled ashore to nest. Add that to elephants roaming the coastline, black and white beaches, plus some of the world's best coffee and it's the perfect island paradise.

Just got back from Tangier, Morocco. Highly recommend it. Stayed in a great hotel in the Casbah called Hotel Nord Pinus.

Fantastic. There is a lot of Morocco to explore outside of everyone's favourite, Marrakech. What were your favourite activities in Tangier?

Well, besides the usual exploring the Casbah and the Medina, I loved heading over to the beach, near the Caves of Hercules, just outside of Tangier. The woman at my hotel called a taxi and asked him to drive me all over the place! This was great because I was able to see some smaller neighborhoods as well as some very nice areas where there were some private palaces. Anyway, the taxi driver dropped me off by the caves and I walked to the beach. After a couple of hours going into the water and sunbathing, I found this adorable little restaurant on the roof of a building that overlooked the water. They served only one thing--fresh sardines they just caught, grilled over an open fire pit. Served with a fresh salad and some french fries. It was fantastic!

I ride my quad on salt flats right here in Nevada. No need to go halfway around the world to do that.
