Here's another article about our favourite place, Europe. But this one is probably the weightiest subject matter we've ever covered: you'll need to duck just to avoid the puns. You are what you eat. And this place - La Maisonnette Narbonnaise - Narbonne, France is worth driving to, as you will likely have trouble walking out.…

For some reason, some people think of France (and the French) as being a bit stiff and humourless. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth (Jacques Tati anyone?) And while the country takes some things very seriously - their cuisine and their history come to mind - France is as fun and diverse…
We live in North America, but have lived in other parts of the world, too. It still boggles our minds how so many the residents of this part of Mother Earth still cling to the idea that a fossil-fuel burning vehicle is the way to go when it comes to getting around. Admittedly, some have…
We love Europe - so much. And one of the aspects of Europe is that its history provides an endless array of activities, locations, variety and compact way of discovering the world and its history. Everywhere you turn, you'll find something new and fascinating, especially if you read, investigate and prepare for your visit there.…
What could possibly go wrong? We would imagine that most of our readers have - at least once - dreamt of a wine holiday. Most of the world's vineyards feature rolling hills, expansive vistas, good roads and - of course - wine stops. Of course, this is not a good idea in a car, but…
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…
In 2017, I travelled to the Amazon jungle to take part in an ayahuasca retreat. I hadn’t done psychedelics for 20 years, and that last time I’d had a bad trip which had left me traumatised. Why would I ever want to try psychedelics again? Although I’d healed a lot from that youthful bad experience,…
There is nothing like spending time outside, breathing in the air, feeling the glow of the sun (or rain) as you walk peacefully through what nature has provided. Does that sound good to you? Well, if you love nothing more than getting out in the great outdoors and immersing yourself in nature, birdwatching is…
Why we love airbusMostly, it's because the headquarters are in Toulouse, which is a gorgeous historic city in France. And, of course, France also means impeccable food. It’s known as La Ville Rose (‘The Pink City’) due to the terra-cotta bricks used in many of its buildings. Its 17th-century Canal du Midi links…
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…
If you haven't tries churros yet, then run, don't walk, to your local Latin eatery. You will likely not leave your chair for some time, so wear comfortable clothes. Be prepared to relax after eating them, as they are deceptively "narcotic" in their hedonistic scrumptiousness. But what are churros? A churro…

Nothing like walking along a beach and then - hey presto! - finding out that it's for nudists. That happened to us here in Vancouver, of all places. Luckily, our sunglasses were in place and covered our eyes even if they didn't hide our embarassment. We're not prudes, by any stretch -…
Camping is one of those love it / hate it propositions. Most of us are not in love with mosquitos. And, even in the summer, sleeping on the ground in a tent can be a lumpy and cold prospect. But, to be sure, the outdoor locations are usually mind-bogglingly beautiful, and you…
