This post has nothing to do with your chosen financial institution. This is an honest question about the City of lights. For those of us who have been blessed to be able to experience this most magic of places, a walk along the Left bank of the Seine river is de rigueur, bien…
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…
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.…
France never gets tiring, unless you wear yourself out by living life to the fullest there. Of course, Paris is at the top of the list for most people, as is Marseille or Nice or Bordeaux. Few countries have the variety or diversity that France has, in pretty much all aspects. And…
It will come as no surprise to regular reader here how much we love Europe. There are very few places in the world that offer as much diversity, excitement and romance as that most desirable continent. And, if you happen to be in the UK and want to journey to Europe, hiring a…

Regular reader here will know how much we love architecture. Be it Roman ruins or the next 70 story superstructure in Shanghai, buildings are one of the most visible and lasting records of what humans are capable of when we stop fighting and start cooperating. The best thing about architecture is that, when…

Yes, another post about Rome, the Romans and Italy. We won't apologise about that. You could start at the very top of Italy, and work your way all the way down to Mezzogiorno (see - bet you've never heard of that) and would still have…

We're not sure if its, hubris, or carelessness or just a mistake, but sometimes, tourists are not as smart as they can be when it comes to spending their money, especially in Europe, where things can often be pricey. Of course, you get what you pay for, as it were, and sometimes it just…
Our affiliate friends, Wendy Wu Tours, always feature activities that are not your usual offering. We love how they highlight places that might often be missed, or not at the top of the list. In this case, the latest offer is Turkey.
Turkey is a treasure trove of fascinating history and archaeological wonders,…
Did you ever think that something as simple as pasta (our favourite food) could be embroiled in controversy and even "illegal" activities? It's been around forever and it will continue until the earth fizzles to its last puff of smoke.
But, as anything, we suppose, there will always be differing opinions on things…

Being an element within the wider area of freedom, security and justice policy of the EU, it mostly functions as a single jurisdiction under a common visa policy for international travel purposes.…
As of this writing, at least where we live, it's cold and snowy, and it looks like it will stay that way for some time. Grey, wet and miserable. The sun goes down at 5:00pm and stays that way until April. Yuk. Boy, would we sure would like to be somewhere warm…

Once again, as is part of Matouring's mission, we present content to you, our lovely readers, that we hope informs and entertains you. We suggest places to go and things to do that,…
Spain is one of the most visited countries on the planet.. For example, during the 12 months of 2021, a total of 31.1 million foreign visitors arrived in Spain, 64.4 percent more that in 2021, but 62.7 percent less than the 83.7 million tourists who spent their holidays in the country in 2019. That's quite…
You probably already know that when people flock to Europe, Spain is the most chosen destination. And that's no surprise, of course, as it simply seems to have what people want. An overabundance of sunshine, history, diverse countryside, criminally hip cities and a natural cuisine (not to mention wine) that all goes into a melting…
We won't spend much time discussing the restaurants in Paris, as you, as one of our erudite and plugged-in readers, will already have a sound grounding on this most hallowed of culinary cities.

But, there is a place (maybe no surprise to many of you) that is a food destination that is the top…
We are who we are, like it or not. And we have every right to be that way, like it or not. And if some people have a problem with that, get used to it.
Gay people are still having problems simply being themselves, even though being themselves has been part of the…
