Do hotels make you tired? Whether you're an avid traveler, or a weary business slogger, for the most parts, hotels seem to be all the same. That's not a bad thing, of course, but if leaving home and staying in typical accommodations is a standard component of your adult life (or even if…
We set up a remote work community in the Tuscan mountains.
One of our favourite sites / YouTube channels is Euronews.com. Mostly focused on Europe, our favourite place in the world, Euronews is also focused on the rest of the big wide world. They're erudite, funny, playful and right on target when…
Travel can be a complex undertaking, even in the best of times. There are so many moving parts to most itineraries, and it doesn't help when one (or more) of the pieces falls out of place.
Here is one story - courtesy of Gary Leff's "View from the Wing" site. (We've featured him…
The title of this post not only applies to life in general, but it also applies to the subject of the post: the Columbia Ice Fields in Banff, Alberta, Canada. One of the few remaining glaciers in North America, this precious resource of Mother Nature is - literally - breathtaking. We've done…

We travel a lot, and we assume you do, too. It's one of the best things in life, especially as you get older and you have learned to appreciate the finer, more subtle joys that life brings. But, sometimes you are pleasantly pleased by an unexpected find. In this case, we're speaking…
The electric interwebs are a wonderful place to be when you're looking for a holiday. That's why you're on our site, we hope! But, there is so much choice and in so many disparate places on the net, that it's sometimes hard to land a good deal.
But, here's one that you will…
Once again, we write about camping. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? We would imagine that many don't like the idea of sleeping on wet grass, or fighting off the horde of mosquitos that camping implies, but there are ways around that by upgrading to 21st century technology that's been around…
We're big fans of camping, especially because it can be so economical. From throwing your sleeping bags and tent into the back of your car, all the way up to renting a comfortable campervan, it's a great way to see the world without going bankrupt.
We're sure that many of you consider camping as…

So, you're going on an international vacation! You've figured out your budget and picked a place that should fall within said budget. Planned the itinerary and set a date. What else needs doing? What can you do beforehand to prepare?
My travel mantra: Prepare for the unexpected. But mitigate wherever…

We humans are always looking for good ways to improve ourselves. We want to be more efficient, more healthy, more loving and loveable. It's part of who we are. Thoughtful things, such as howing up on time. Dressing appropriately. Remembering the little things. Holding the door open. Et cetera.
Some people…
You may recall that some time back, we created a post on Tollund Man. In 1950, the Tollund man was found in a peat bog west of Silkeborg. The interesting thing about Tollund man is that he was preserved in peat and was in incredibly good condition when found. He was also accompanied by…
The future is here . . for those of us who can afford it. Electric vehicles make so much sense, and they're getting ever more affordable. Even car rental companies like Hertz now offer EV rentals with Tesla vehicles. Global cumulative sales of highway-legal light-duty plug-in electric vehicles reached 1 million units in September 2015,[3] 5 million in…
Do you camp? Are you a camper? Is this the life that makes you most happy? You're not alone. In the U.S., the proportion of campers who camped for the first-time in 2020 was five times greater than what was observed in 2019. And statistics would lead us to believe that…
Especially after Covid, probably the first thing on everyone's mind is getting OUT of the house and into the fresh air. There are so many possible choices about what we can do and where we can go, but do you really want to get into the fresh air of nature?
There are some creatures that…
This is information that everyone - no matter your age - can benefit from. We all know that we need to take care of ourselves, especially as we get older. Less meat, more vegetables, lay off the liquor. Exercise often. We've had decades of studies to show that all of this…
We think it's safe to say that most, if not all, of our erudite readers are always happy to eat Mexican food. As much as we love Taco Bell, there is nothing like the real thing, made by real Mexican cooks (and, ideally by someone's madre.) And, the sheer number of dishes that grace the…
Sometimes, we like to feature our affiliate friends, especially when there is good news. (We consider ourselves lucky that they've chosen to work with us (and vice versa) and it's always a thrill when new and exciting adventures come along. Recently, Hong Kong-based Klook has made some big and exciting changes to its broad range…
... with the sound of savings! Chances are, when you think of visiting Europe, you might find yourself defaulting to the "classic" locations: Italy, Spain, France etc. And as much as we love those places, too, there are so many other countries that are "bubbling under" that deserve a little love from you. One of…
