Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed. ― Mahatma Gandhi
Jerusalem is a place that has been at the centre of so many events - many religious - that we don't feel like we need to delve into its history. It's on the news almost every day, and the more things change there, the more they remain the same. We've done a number…
It’s the most dominant fast food chain on the planet, serving 68 million customers a day in 120 countries. You won’t spot the golden arches, though, anywhere on one tiny island in the easternmost Caribbean. “Bajans didn’t like it,” says Michael Harrison when asked about the absence of McDonalds in Barbados. “When they want a…
If you're in business these days, you've got to be smart, clever, innovative and original or else you'll likely go under. And there has been a watershed of new ideas and business execution attempts that have lost their steam or have dried up. Thinking in a shell no longer works, and being crabby…

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…
If you're not a horror film fan (or a vegetarian) look away now.

Some enterprising folks have repurposed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre gas station…
We jest . . . but only somewhat. Is this a castle? Perhaps not. Is it a jail? It once was.
Now known as the Royal Crown Castle Bar and Grill, it's a rather nice pub in New Westminster on the outskirts of Vancouver, Canada. With inspiring views over the Fraser River, a delightful staff, good…
Perhaps it's just us (I doubt it,) but we can't imagine travelers looking forward to airline food, especially in this day and age. Packets of pretzels generally do not make us squeal with delight anymore.

Being part of Italy, you would expect that at every corner, you would find a fantastic restaurant in Venice that would leave you with an indelibly stamped memory of it being the best restaurant you've ever eaten in your life. Sadly, that is not always the case, just like anywhere else. Sometimes you are subject…
As one of the world's most revered and visited cities, Rome is many things. History of course, that's a natural. Food, wine, love and lust. While most travel guides will try to talk you out of driving in Rome entirely, there are moments when having a car makes absolute sense—especially if you…
We all love our kids, no matter how young or old they are. That's why we had them. As they start to mature (like ours) the urge to spend more time with them becomes more acute. We know that they will eventually flee the nest, but it still leaves a little pang of remorse that…
Hello again. Hope you're well. Today, we feature one of the signature experiences in Europe: Switzerland, and taking the Bernina Express. The Bernina Express is not just a train ride; it is a masterclass in slow travel and a dramatic journey of pure geographic contrast. Operating on a narrow-gauge track between Chur (Switzerland's oldest city)…
More-occo It's always a wonderful thing to travel, of course. Above and beyond the act of traveling itself is the sometimes ignored or misunderstood benefits. At its core, travel is a disruption of the expected. When we step out of our daily routines and familiar geography, we shake loose the…

Arrr. Erm, we meant ahhh. "Sailing takes me away takes me away to where I've always heard it could be" Many thanks to that smooth crooner, Christopher Cross for his eternally optimistic chanson, Sailing. He smoothly guides you to where you know that you have no choice. And that's a good…

Relax. This is not another one of those "SHOCK HORROR" posts that crawl along the floor of the internet. It's a somewhat sad story of a changing Japan. And while we've been in much of that wonderful country, there is so much more to see. We're sure you're of the same mind.…
