August 15, 2022 by Adam VaughanLeave a Comment

barcelona park

In the spring of 2022, my wife and I rented an apartment in Barcelona and lived like locals for 31 incredible days. After two years of working from our home in the Bay area, we realized we weren’t capitalizing on the remote nature of our now-remote jobs. Our dream of eventually moving to Europe became a reality, even if for a short time.  Since we were still technically working during our stay, we crafted a daily schedule to maximize our free … [Read more...]

Touring Tuscany: Where To Go And What To Do

August 10, 2022 by Alex Belsey1 Comment

As a small and visually stunning Italian province, which is easily accessible by car, Tuscany makes an ideal destination for keen tourists and has an … [Read more...]

Visiting Strasbourg, France with Children

June 10, 2022 by Maggie AndrewsLeave a Comment

There is really nothing else like traveling through Europe with toddlers. This is true for so many reasons, one of which is that they seldom seem to know just how lucky they are or how crazy it is that they are, where they are. Having lived in Germany now for a year and a half, we have become accustomed to hearing German daily. We have grown comfortable enough in our surroundings to explore and live. Though, when we travel to another country, … [Read more...]

Peace and harmony reign supreme on former historic battle site

May 19, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

The Cromwell Suite

HISTORY is integral to the story of the tiny village of Edgehill in Warwickshire, the scene of the bloodiest battle in The English Civil War. Today, the din of muskets and cannons are, thankfully, confined to those history books and the battlefields instead offer idyllic views from one of the most impressive vantage points in the country, The Castle pub. Perched on the summit overlooking the infamous battlefields, The Castle at Edgehill is … [Read more...]

A heavenly Oasis at Plas Robin Rural Retreats in Wales

May 3, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

The word ‘luxury’ is overused – as are ‘tranquility’ and ‘unique.’ Yet, as I discovered at Plas Robin’s retreats in the heart of the rural Wales, sometimes justifiable. A picture, it is said, paints a thousand words and, to be honest, the breathtaking views from these two bespoke holiday homes perched atop the rolling Welsh hillside, do most of the talking! However, it’s only after staying in the Shepherd’s Rest lodge for three nights … [Read more...]

A touch of luxury – and then some!

December 8, 2021 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

THE phrase five-star luxury is much overused when it comes to holiday accommodation. But it’s not until I’ve considered it an inadequate description for somewhere I’ve stayed. Winchcombe Farm Holidays in Upper Tysoe, is quite simply, luxury on another level. I am lucky enough to be among those qualified to speak first hand as I’ve stayed in two of the lodges – one of the smallest Will’s Tree House (the only treehouse in Warwickshire!) and the … [Read more...]

October 4, 2021 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It takes courage for an airline to start flying a new transatlantic route during a global pandemic but that’s exactly what French bee has done. The Paris-based long-haul airline launched its flight between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly on July 15. I recently flew French bee’s nonstop service to Paris and back from my home in New York City. I was initially attracted by French Bee’s advantageous pricing, starting at $199 … [Read more...]
