Chevy’s 2019 Equinox Gets Me to Portland Maine’s Growing Artisan Food & Beverage Scene

The concept of taking a road trip sounds carefree and largely based on serendipity. But after rearranging your schedule and marking time on your calendar, the realization sets in that you need a planned itinerary and well equipped vehicle to get you to the most scenic routes and can't-miss sights. It helps to have comfort and navigational assistance like you get in Chevy's 2019 Equinox. I recently tried it out on a coastal road trip to … [Read more...]

Celebrating The Broadmoor’s 100th Anniversary

How exactly do you celebrate the centennial of an iconic hotel built back in 1918 by real estate and gold mining baron Spencer Penrose who in his free time sped up hairpin turns in his “Yellow Devil” Pierce Arrow race car on a dirt road all the way to the summit of Pike's Peak's? You start with fireworks, champagne, special packages, and themed events scheduled throughout the year but fully immersing yourself in all The Broadmoor has to offer is … [Read more...]

The Best Eats in Bermuda

The Best Eats in Bermuda

Perhaps you’ve come to Bermuda for it’s pink sand beaches, blue sea and quirky knee-length shorts? Steal away from these worthy attractions and you’ll reap mouth-watering mealtime rewards. Bermuda’s food scene is discretely on fire. Islands of all sizes hold gustatory riches. Caribbean islands especially excel on the culinary front. They tend to be melting pots of flavor, attributed to the influences of centuries of invaders, pirates and … [Read more...]

Suzhou, China: An Edible Garden of Eden

December 4, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi4 Comments

Suzhou, China: An Edible Garden of Eden

If I were a philosopher, my motto would be “I eat, therefore I travel.” My first step towards understanding a culture is through food. Taste is the silent thread that binds me to fellow gastronomes around the globe. This is especially true when I visit a country where I know not a soul nor a single word of the native language, my exact situation during my recent visit to Suzhou, China. As alien as I felt upon arrival, I correctly suspected that … [Read more...]

First Week USA Challenge ‘Fifty States of Wigge’

I am currently on my new USA Challenge challenge called ‘Fifty States of Wigge’. That means I have to travel all 50 states in 50 days and I have to face one challenge in each state. My start of the USA challenge was in Maine last week, traveling all by van. The result after seven days is pretty awsome, because I have traveled to already eleven states and drove 1,400 miles. Eleven states sounds way ahead of my schedule, but keep in mind that … [Read more...]

Tasty Travel to Alabama, Florida Coasts

December 19, 2015 by Kara Kimbrough1 Comment

Tasty Travel to Alabama, Florida Coasts

My love of the Mississippi Gulf Coast is unwavering. But every now and then I venture farther east to Alabama and Florida to enjoy their beautiful beaches. A few days with friends at Orange Beach’s Perdido Beach Resort was the perfect summer starter. New food finds took it to a near-heavenly level. Reality was left behind as we drove up the resort’s palm-tree-lined hill and entered terracotta stone walls. Ensconced in a glamorous cocoon of … [Read more...]

The Heart of the South Bay – Torrance

November 4, 2015 by Katie Weber3 Comments

The Heart of the South Bay – Torrance

I’d be willing to bet that if I asked you if you’ve ever been to Torrance, CA, your response would be something along the lines of “uh, where now?” Surrounded by Hermosa, Redondo, and Palos Verdes, well-known beach cities along California’s Santa Monica Bay, Torrance is often overlooked. However, for those who are looking for an authentic community experience in a location that is still close to all the Southern CA tourist hotspots, and will make … [Read more...]
