There’s no shame in loving what you love.

You will have had to been hiding under a rock if you're not aware of the horrors of what has been happening in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Call us naive, but prior to this horror show on Russia's part, it felt like the world was going in the right direction. It felt…
No, it's not the name of some new trendy Pale Ale. Still, we wish we could have been around when the first nations of Canada named this place. We would love to have seen the discourse and decision-making. We wonder who finally triumphed in the name game. Was it rock, paper,…
We read the other day of a former Russian submarine commander accused by Ukraine of deadly strikes on its territory has been shot dead while jogging in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar. It's possible that, after reading about that, people might shy away from Krasnodar. Political maneuvers will never cease, even as the "masters" of…
One thing about the world is that you'll never run out of things to do. Lucky us. And here we feature another such place that we're willing to bet that most of us haven't heard of, let alone seen. It's Ajara. A region located in southwestern Georgia, it offers a unique…

If you're not in the know, Malta itself is a beautiful Mediterranean island nation with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a unique culture that makes it a compelling destination for travelers.

As a traveler, you have lots of options when it comes to flying. Too many options, some might say. And there is always the sneaking suspicion that the online travel agencies have some kind of hocus pocus to steer you down the wrong path. It is true that online travel agencies…
Surely one of the most annoying aspects of travel is keeping your boarding pass with you before you fly. Sometimes the hang-up is when you print it at home: you find that you don't have ink in your printer. Once you to the store to buy the printer ink, at home, the…
We rail on and on again (get it?) about rail. It is the past, present and future of travel. Especially the future. As automobiles continue to clog up the roads, polluting all the while, carrying - maybe - five persons in the vehicle, it becomes more and more apparent that this is…
Thun, Switzerland. Many, many, many years ago, your editor was a part-time software consultant, and a part-time musician. As one benefit of the latter career, I was fortunate enough to tour Europe, making music over a number of separate tours. Even though I had been to the UK many, many times, the music…
