Have you ever had an experience where your expectations are different than your reality? Where imagination gets the best of you and hopes get shattered? Now, now let me provide some context, it was my first time going to Ireland, my dreams were finally … [Read more...]

The CUBE Live, Urban Playground, Manchester

We’ve all seen it on TV and now it’s our chance to take on The CUBE! I was excited to learn how the award-winning show had left the studio and landed at its first venue in Manchester. I was even more excited to be invited, along with my family, to be put through our paces. For the uninitiated, this high-octane gameshow invites contestants to step into the confines of a Perspex box to take on a series of mental and physical tasks. At The … [Read more...]

Nestled in the heart of Lombardy, Bergamo is a hidden gem that is often overlooked by tourists arriving at Milan Orio Airport.

5 Reasons to Visit Romania in 2023

April 1, 2023 by Marius IliescuLeave a Comment

Probably the most underrated destination in Eastern Europe, Romania has a lot more to offer than just the ‘land of Dracula’ tag it’s so famous for. The country has a rich Game of Thrones-like history with many twists and turns which you can learn about by visiting the many medieval castles (including Bran Castle aka Bran Castle) and cities such as Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca. And then you have the impressive Carpathian Mountains with their many … [Read more...]

Finding Inspiration in Southern Spain and Morocco

January 9, 2023 by DaveLeave a Comment

I have been fortunate to have visited Spain a number of times, both for wine related business but also to satisfy my wanderlust and ongoing search for ideal weather. I've always timed my visits to avoid the summer months so as not to experience high temperatures and summer crowds. I've found one of my favorite times of year to visit is in late Spring. During my first visit to Spain, I flew into Madrid and quenched my appetite both for food, … [Read more...]

November 23, 2022 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It’s a courageous move for an airline to begin flying new transatlantic routes during a transitional time for the airline industry, but that’s exactly what PLAY has done. This Icelandic airline was founded in Reykjavik in 2019 by a team with significant experience in the aviation industry. They started flying to Reykjavik from the East Coast of the United States in 2022. I recently flew PLAY’s daily nonstop service to Keflavik, Reykjavik’s main … [Read more...]
