Few cultures have left such a tangible mark on the world’s biggest cities. While the first Chinatown popped up in Manila in the 1500s, dozens more appeared around the globe in the 19th and 20th centuries. From Bangkok to New York, these often hard-hit ‘hoods have endured over the years, morphing from immigrant enclaves to…

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…
The name Westminster Abbey should ring loud and clear to almost anyone who travels. It is one of the biggest attractions (and biggest buildings) in London and is instantly recognisable.

Even though the world - more or less - appears to be out of the woods when it come to Covid and how it keeps popping up its ugly little head, many of us are still reluctant to commit to a holiday, even though we really need one in the worst way. So what can…
When one thinks of the Lord of the Rings, it's usually singing the praises of those diminutive characters that fill the timeless stories and our ever-present appetites to see the films again, visit the locations where the films were created, and praying to the Pharoahs that Peter Jackson might gift us with more of his…

Mother Earth is still fighting the good fight, despite so many of us giving her a hard time. She keeps warning us, but many of us are still not listening. And if things keep going the way that they are, there won't be any rooms where she will send us when we've misbehaved:…
