... or how to beat the 90-day Brexit rule and live in France for six months a year. Your editor is British, although I don't live there at the moment. But, of all of the several places that I have lived, Britain is the place that I hold dearest. So, when…
Do you know Bergamo? It’s listed as #3 of World’s Best Places to Visit for 2023-2024.
You can always trust the Nordic people to think about ways to save the planet. They've been doing it for decades. They are surrounded by nature and, as such, they take care of their "home." Environmental consciousness is deeply ingrained in Nordic culture. These countries have a long history of valuing and respecting…
We live in Vancouver, Canada. It's a rather nice place, where water is plentiful. The primary area for visitors is downtown, which happens to sit on a bay. It's a lovely place, such that the city has spent much effort and money to make it a place to see. And, as…
In the words of Depeche Mode, "people are people, so why should it be that you and I should get along so awfully?" This song was written in 1984 and, sadly, it feels like we're living in Orwell's 1984 all over again. To us, anyway, the past couple of years has been a…
Some people have it tough. After huffing down one Mai Tai after another, they roll over the edge of their sun-chair and into a mouthful of sand. What to do? Well, order another Mai Tai to get rid of the sand, of course "Oh! but, where is my wallet?" It's floating…
Wherever you go in the USA, one thing is for certain. You can always count on California for a hip, welcoming and relaxed experience.
In principle, as humans, we're permitted to do what we please, unless it effects others negatively. That's the theory, anyway. As the oceans of human emotion ebb and tide, these rights of ours do the same. We've been alive for a long time and have lived through most of it. There…
Not many places in the world are as desirable and as beautiful as the Italian lakes in Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy. How many thousands of photos have been taken there, usually by dreamy-eyed lovers who sadly realize that they may never stay in that most revered location. Why? Well, primarily it's down…
Public transit is the way to go! The more we use it, the better it (and the planet) gets. We are constantly banging on and on about why we should leave the car behind, when we can. As if we even need to say this in this day and age, here are…
We love to discover (and feature) places on our planet that are not necessarily on everyone's lips - yet. And there are so many of them, where do we even start? Hopefully, if you visit our site regularly, you'll enjoy being exposed and enlightened to a wider selection of what the world has…
The world is littered with sad mistakes, often based on the misplaced values of its leaders. Serbia can be considered one of those places. But, anyone in the know knows how much the the country and its main city, Belgrade has grown and bloomed and boomed into one of the places to be.…
Mexico is often up and down in the parade of travel destinations. One "off" story in the news can derail the country's reputation and, therefore, it's fortunes. There are any number of reasons why this happens, and many of the reasons are political and not always in Mexico's hands, and not in its…
Is there only one decent location to take a picture in Cleveland Ohio – the Arcade?
Are you the type where, when you're flying somewhere, you never quite seem to get it right when it comes to packing your suitcase, or you goof up what kinds of socks and pants to where? Do you always manage to overfill your carry-on to the point where it almost doesn't fit in the…
Going on holiday is, for the most part, meant to be relaxing, giving yourself the time to stop, slow down and literally bask in the moment. This is not to say that it won't be filled with thrills (or even a snafu here or there,) because that always seems to happen, no matter…
What a headline that is. What does it even mean? Let's get to the bottom of it, shall we? Portuguese football team captain and former Real Madrid striker (and dreamboat) Cristiano Ronaldo, and international tennis legend Rafael Nadal, are behind the Tatel restaurant due to open in Spain's third-largest metropolis this summer.…
Pardon our poor English for the post's title: we couldn't resist. But, the question still stands: do you know? We won't be surprised if you don't. Raja Ampat doesn't get much press, really. So, let's start at the beginning. Raja Ampat is in Papua in Indonesia. The name given to these islands…
At the time of this writing, it's May of 2023. There are multiple wars underway. The environment is in utter turmoil. The number of billionaires has shot through the roof. And the poor are fighting for their lives. And, as if that isn't bad enough, women still encounter challenges when…
